The day I was looking forward too the most - Saturday's X gathering. Tom and I headed off to the dealer's room to get the Read or Die dvd. I was in costume, so I hoped for a discount. Manga had it for $20, but they didn't accept credit card. Tom paid it for me. Thank you! *^^* So I had the dvd, and I entered my name in Funimation to get a free dvd. I won later on in the day. I couldn't decide between Lupin III and Fruits Basket, but I decided on Fruits Basket because I have the horrid HK subs. I also ran into Steve Bennet. Despite my midwestern friends' negative comments about Steve, he's a really cool guy. ^^v I told him about the dream I had at ACen about Kristy being sacrificed to him. As right now, I'm looking through the ACen 2002 report, and I have no further details on that...shall check written diary later. ^_^;

And once again, Kevin pops the same question everytime I run into him. "When is Orihime and Yomiko going to get together?" Riiiiiiiiight. Though Tom did give me an idea for my next cosplay...it's your idea Mr. Fansview Man!

After spending time (and as little money as possible) in the dealer's room, we headed out. Ramen and Rice did their performance of anime songs. I swear, they should record their music sometime. I love their cover of "HT" and "Butterfly." We hung out with Nando, Dawn, Ace, Ziggy, Wing, and Kamineko (yes, Kamineko) for a few strange photo ops. Seems that kami neko wasn't being friendly to cosplayers...
