COMIC CON 09 -SATURDAY THE MASQUERADE PARTY

Posted by Randy Kasugano at 12:22 PM



So in my opinion, not much was going to happen that day because i already did most of my plans and saw most of the animus.
But as always.. My predictions came out wrong. Today was the most out of any day in Comic-Con history that i've seen this many people. The Exhibition hall is always scary. But this time Up stairs was scary. My precious Anime hall was filled like a bag of chips (still room, but still crowded). That never happens. The cosplay today was more than any day i've ever seen. But you know what? My Camera battery was dead. DEAD. It said it was full.. But machines lie too right? So in a emergency call, i get the fuck out of the convention center and head the fuck home and grab the charger so i can head back. As i was home i was in the middle of exchanging my $30 check to my mom for cash. But then my sister interrupted and asked that she get MY money because i somehow ripped her off with the recycling cash. (Which i didn't because for 4 years of collecting she mixed up the cans and bottles so i can labor in the back yard for a week sorting them out.) She claims that i was working too slow in the hot weather and she could have done it because some how she has excellent intake of nutrition than i do (fats and carbs lol). So then she says "AT LEAST I DON'T SPEND IT ON PORN". My mom was all "You bought Porn?". I said no, because it really wasn't porn at all. Then my sister yelled "ITS CARTOON PORN" (we were talking about the Ecchi art collection). So then my mom refused to give me the exchange in cash. My sister being super smart had no reason to bring that up as i don't speak about her spending her money only on NON tangible substances such and POT. But being the nice brother i am, i don't say a word, but rather i just deal with the situation (I'm not a rat, but wish to be at times like this). So now the family is having a talk with me about my Moe moe Ecchi animu hobbies :3 . "What does this do for you?" "It isn't reality" etc.
It was... very soul binding. Then i hear my mom say something like "Cartoons shouldn't be doing stuff like that". Lulz were had as i felt bad for these people as they only had sooo little to grow up with. I thought the rest of the day would turn out bad as i have this new hypermode loathing hate for my dad (Almost like everyday rite?). But as always, my predictions turn out wrong.
So i'm now watching Fate Stay Night in one of the theater rooms whilst charging my Battery on the wall closest to me. The thing charges and i walk out side after that awesome second to last episode.. What i see is a line. BIG ASS FUCKING LINE. If that wasn't bad enough, 4Chan was there doing some /b/ shit. But was it truly bad? Lol no. This was one of the highlights of Comic-Con adventure 2009. My Animu hall was filled with this GIANT LINE for the Masquerade party. I've never been to one of these at Comic-Con before. I wasn't planning too either. In this long line we have people with signs saying "Twilight Ruined Comic-Con", "Free hugs", "Twilight this and that". But what really got the energy flowing was that this line was chanting "TWILIGHT SUCKS, TWILIGHT SUCKS". So i'm just trying to take in the moment with a doezen pictures since i have no camcorder mode on this $500 piece of shit. So 30 minutes later i head to one of the Animu rooms to watch something.. I think it was Doujin Work. Pretty sure it was. After that ended there wasn't much animu to watch till 11:00pm. That said i decided to find the Masquerade. Upon this quest i stumble upon a line where the Autograph area was in the morning. I soon discover that it was for free food. Salads, Nachos, Popcorn, & velvet red cupcakes. Then upon walking further there was filled tables of people watching the Masquerade live via a huge screen. Even more awesome -there was a bar. Alcohol at my Comic-Con? Its less likely than you think. In the awesomeness of all this i ran over to Ballroom 20 where the Masquerade was taking place. OH MY GOD, THE SEATS ARE ALL GONE AND AMAZINGNESS WAS EVERYWHERE! I sit on the floor up in front getting my camera ready. The stage had so many great acts and costumes that i could just wet myself. Two acts worthy of mention was a Muppet act which was sooo damn hilarious and Act #18 -"Welcome to the Dollhouse". Welcome to the doll house started with Igor holding a giant Ipod. The master dude said to play a said song. "A small world after all" starts playing and cultures of different people come out of the box and started holding hands whilst walking in a circle happily. It was meh.. But then Master dude said "IGOR, THATS NOT THE SONG I WANTED". Igor replied "Oh yes, sorry my master". then you see Igor switching the songs on the giant ipod whilst the ipod clicks were had. He presses play and you hear;

"Cause this is thriller!!!!!!!!!, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike"

Everyone on stage are now doing the dance and everyone in the audience is going WILD.
Lots of applaud went to that act. By the end of the night they won a few awards. Not sure which. But anyway, i leave the Ballroom to go back to the "Eating auditorium room" to watch and
eat there. But then the acts ended which left time (3 hours) for the judges to vote on the acts. Then the lights dim. Music turns on super loud and strobe lights and colorful flights fuck up the room. I'm now at a real party. Whilst the room dances and shake their tits, i had my camera ready to take the most pix out of my 5 day weekend. SOO MUCH GOING ON, Wasted Harry Potter, Break dancing Otaku, Amazing things. So many people hooked up (Which is amazing since we all know what kind of people dwell upon comic-con). I look at the clock and see that its midnight. Oh SHIT, HELLSING ULTIMATE IS ON!! Oh well, lol. So the judging has ended and the music was supposed to stop, but by demand, it stayed on. I didn't really watch the winners, but i'm glad who i saw won, win.
So the last songs played were some Micheal Jackson of cou
rse. Party ends... people go home and i bought nothing.

Great day. Best Comic-Con day. Can't wait till next year.
