Fanime...oh my...where to start? First off, Fanime has to be one of the best cons I've ever attended. Though my Aoki-san wasn't able to show up, it was a wonderful con. This was my first time for Fanime, and I'm glad it could be this one. It's not large where it's crowded and chaotic, or not small enough where the day goes by rather slow (though I do love small conventions and large conventions). Fanime seemed to be the perfect size. It reminded me of ACen 2001's size.

I did have a few dissapointments. I wished I could have seen the masquerade, but I had karaoke bussiness with friends. However, congrats to Stella and Chris! ^^v Speaking of Stella, I only got to see her Thursday evening. *nodnod* I was quite in a hurry that evening, so maybe we'll meet up again at AX. Loosing my Card Captor Sakura doll was worrysome on my part. It matches with my Nadeshiko costume, but since there's American releases of the dolls, I can hopefully get it when the Platina version comes out. I probably won't use a Sakura doll for cosplay anymore to avoid any more losses.

However, the group gatherings were great! I enjoyed the X gathering the most. X is one of my all time favorite animes next to Shoujo Kakumei Utena, and I'm glad that we nearly had the whole cast and that everyone seemed to enjoy the shoot. Thanks Nando and Dawn for getting Akio to the con. It looks so much better than the one I saw at ACen 2001. Thank you Kevin, Lionel, Albert, and Kyle for the pictures! You guys are the best! Thanks Jarod for being a traveling companion. You owe me ice cream. ^^v Thank you Ace for the room, you're the best dog boy ever! Thank you Yumi for the Chii ears, without them, the Chobits X cosplay would not be possible. Thank you Wing, AJ, and Oscar for the Sakura Taisen gathering and the after birthday partay. Sakura Taisen rocks! XD Thank you Kenny for being a polite pervert.

To everyone else, thank you for making Fanime 2003 one of my favorites. Apologies if I don't have a shoutout for ya, but each one of you has made this convention experience simply the best. It was truly nice seeing you all again and I hope we'll have more madness come Anime Expo! See you in Anaheim! *hugsies and glompsies*
