WDGG: Anime Convention ACEN 2011

WDGG stands for WHERE DID GRACE GO? I will hence use this as a shorty cut name to my little escapades.
This past weekend was just too hectic. The Biggest Anime Convention in the Midwest happened last May 20-22. It was 3 days of just ANIME! I had an opportunity to go on a Saturday, because I heard among the 3 days, the second one is the best to go.

My Fiance and I said that we were going there at 7 am, get there by 8 and get in line to buy our badges. Typical of us, we never leave on time, we left at 7:45 got there at almost 9 am. The line was already half a mile long. I'm not even exaggerating. When we got inside the building, there was another line. It took us probably close to 45 minutes waiting there again. It would have been faster if I brought cash with me.
I'm taking notes for my next visit =)

Everyone was almost cosplaying, I would have but I didn't know that the convention was that weekend, until 2 days before. So I will do it next year!

While in line, I already spotted The 4th Doctor Who! I was going gaga over this hahaha
Because when you yell "Hey Doctor!" This guy would actually turn to you and talk to you. Same thing with other Cosplayers. They were all in character it was amazing.

My Fiance and I met up with some friends, and also bumped into some. The whole time, I felt like we were just trolling the Market(where they sell anime merchandise). We kept looking for a hotter version of some anime characters we like. It was a fun-filled day.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE PICTURES













The soap bubble, which was this huge party in one of the Hotel's Ballroom was just a waste of time, it took me two turns in line to get in, it was ridiculous. The only good thing that probably happened in the bubble was the Pre-Party we had at the hotel room of our friend. Was buzzing a little bit when we got to the bubble, it just all went away when you start smelling 2 day old no shower people. 

I can't wait for next year. Also I will cosplay this time around!
