Tom and I woke up at 8AMish to get ready for the day. Today started out quite simple - Azumanga Daioh. Costume Number One: OSAKA! Tom went as Kimura-sensei to go with my Osaka. We had the continental breakfast. Kimiko decided to join us. I kept my meal simple - just bread and butter. We later then met with Wing dressed as Sakaki. It was quite funny because photographers who knew Tom and I wanted us in affectionate couple like poses, but Kimura x Osaka is just wrong!

So we got in line for pre-reg. ADV was giving out mini bots. We got our uber spiffy badges! We can write our names on them in pretty colors too. The dealer's room wouldn't open for a while, so we killed some time. Killing time even meant watching some of The Wiggles and making MST3K commentaries on them. Wing and I took more Azumanga pictures. I changed my socks to black to become SAKAKI. Lots of thanks to Wing for letting me use her Kamineko for pics. ^_^v

I changed into the third costume: PEPPER. Tom went in his A Better Killer tomorrow thing. So, it's Pepper's debut on the West Coast. I've only worn her to ACen. AniMagic's natural enviroment made it perfect for Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar type pictures.

Now for a fourth costume change. It's not really an anime costume, but it's for a HK parody mini-movie known as A Better Killer Tomorrow. For some reason, I got cast as THE GIRL. So I just used my theatre gown for this shoot. For details, see the Mr. Downtown page.

It was nearing cosplay revue...showtime!
