Hanami 2012 and more

Yay!
So last week, college's 2nd semester started and this time I'm taking classes in modern history. I'm really happy. I'm learning stuff about the civil rights movement and about pirates and about Europe's international relations during the 19th century. Quite some interesting stuff. Actually, I was supposed to study this weekend (or rather not study, but carefully read some texts, because the one prof seems strict), but I just didn't do it. Instead, I was spending Saturday by doing nothing and today was Hanami.
I went there with Lau.chan and we tried to pull off Lolita for a whole day for the first time! I'm going to use pics from her blog, because I'm too lazy, to load them myself.^^""

It was Lau.chan first time to actually wear Sweet Lolita and she did a great job! She never wore the shoes before, a big headpiece and she's not a wig-person (unsolved mystery...)

I've completely dressed her up as my own little doll,^^"" but from now on, she can surely pull off Lolita herself.

Rrrrr, my petticoat was always showing, damn it! >_<
Some other Renai girl's were there, too.

Mina as maid

 

and Giny as the handicaped pokemon Teddiursa, which lost its moon...
Yumi was there too, she was being Misty from Pokemon, but we didn't take any pictures with her. >_<
At the end, I was just really tired and my feet are killing me!! But it was really fun and we were invited to a Lolita group (can you believe it, they invited us!), I've met an old friend from school (gotta write her an e-mail soon!) and people've been taking our picture all the time, so now there are quite some pictures of us circling around ... kinda weird ... but kinda awesome.

How to organize a convention...

Have you ever thought about the people, who are behind a convention? Who  make the space for those, who would look like fools when spotted in public but celebrated as creative artists when in a bunch?

Well, I can tell you, the people behind are not well paid geniuses, waiting for an opportunity to make the most money. We're stressed, sleepless, never in time folks, who are scared to fizzle in front of all their friends.
Luckily it didn't happen to me. My friends and I decided to host our own little event, focused on music, horror and everything, you usually don't find at a Japan-Convention. It was on Saturday February, 5th, that 150 people we didn't know attended our event, had fun and told us they liked so much, they want a second round.
Yes, I haven't slept in 4 days now, I had almost 50% of the work, I was running around for the whole time ... but I don't care.

My friends and I kicked ass with organizing the whole thing and we're very proud. I guess there'll be a Kacchoii ze Japan! 2012.
