Tekko Notes, Day Two
It should probably be noted right about now that I didn’t do last night what I set out to do. That is, see Nescaflowne and Tekko AMV Hell, as Nescetc. started at 1:30a and I was barely conscious and functioning at 11:00p, even after chugging a Bawls. So, not quite as much stuff this time. The rundown, then:
Much less DS gaming today. Basically it was whenever I saw someone with a DS, I would see what they were playing. This can only mean one thing; I must volunteer next year, if only to help out with coordinating the handheld matches.
I caught the last part of Munto, which was… well, kind of bleh even if the art style was interesting; the first part of Negima which was also kind of meh but more interesting for being from Ken Akamatsu; and some of Moon Phase, which was very interesting up until the opening theme broke my brain and would not leave.
The manga library was a nice place to sit down and relax; I skimmed through CLAMP’s “Suki” and read through the first volume of Fruits Basket. I also did pimping for Inconsequential, which means that I have to do up a page for that.
Greggo’s game shows remain at the very least technically impressive, and at best, awe-inspiring. I even managed to get on Anime Press Your Luck during the audience participation phase, and lost. But it was a good lost. Mental note: W-H-A-M-Y (this will make sense during the report… well, no, it won’t, but it’s there to remind me of the gag).
My final photo count for the last two days is 82. I’ll be shooting more today, on a truncated timetable (I’m not going to get there until 9:30 or 10, and I’m not going to stay past about 2), but for now, I’ve got what I’ve shot on this Flickr set.
Another parting thought. Actually, more of a parting guideline than a thought. From this day forth, I hereby decree that convention events earlier than 11:00a are no longer viable targets for me to visit, for the sake of my sanity and health; especially if, when I went to sleep the night before, the clock only had three digits on it.
