Ahhh, it's been a while! Long post is long :) Please forgive me.

I just got home from Anime Expo. Not a lot of cosplay this year because I was working for the anime company, FUNimation by staffing the booth with Adam. If you went to their booth in the dealers' hall, you probably saw me! Never before have I worked so much real estate on a convention floor! Craziness! It was very successful. Though things were extremely busy, I did get a few chances to check things out at the awesome CosWorx booth. Aren't the new wigs and extentions fabulous?

The biggest thing for me this weekend was helping put on the official FUNimation Ouran High School Host Club. The complete English cast was revealed, the actors signed autographs in our own "music room #3" and to top it all off, we had cosplayers from ACP there to host lucky con attendees! You could come in, designate your host and have a special hosting experience, how cool was that? We even had a podium with the vase and a blinking arrow like in the anime. Check out these videos that fans posted about their hosting experience:

*squeeeee!* Those videos totally bring my inner Renge out!

Oh! I did cosplay a little! I was the Miyuki in Bandai's official Lucky Star cheerleading troupe, talk about fun! Here's a video from Friday's performance:

(Saturday's performance was a bit better, IMHO, but this is the best video I have for now) It was so much fun getting to be Miyuki-san with so many great girls! Hearts!

So, that's the AX update. Things are still very busy in my life but that's in a good way!

See you all at San Diego Comic-Con and Otakon! I'll be at the FUNimation booth at both shows doin' that thing I do!
