Not really offtopic since it's X related, but it didn't fit well anywhere, really. :P I just arrived in LA for this year's Anime Expo. I finished my Cinderella Yoshiki cosplay at long last, and I think it looks pretty good so I'm excited to show it off to somebody who hopefully can appreciate it. I was wondering (I haven't been active here for a while) if there are any other X Freaks in the area, and if they would like to meet up at the con or something.

Either way, pictures will indeed be coming soon.  :D  My hair isn't finished yet, so I'm going to wait until that's done to take some.

Lady, lady are you ready to go?
Why do you have to be laying down?

I've heard there's going to be a meetup of JRR X fans, not sure why anyone would want to meet JRR people (;)) but yeah, if you're just looking for other X fans...

I'm not going to AX myself, I'd have maybe considered it if there was a band I wanted to see, but... there isn't. :P  Have fun though, glad you'll take pictures!

Oh, is there? It would be better if it was an X-Freaks meet-up. :P And I don't hang around the JRR forums, it's just not the same. But better that than nothing, I suppose. Someday I would like to meet all of you. Maybe someday when I go to Europe... XD

Well, if anybody does want to come and hang out, AX is where you'll find me. If you PM/myspace/msn me, we can exchange contact info and work out where/when to meet up. :D

I'm not that into cons.
We have a few in Sweden and I am disgusted by a lot of the people who show up there.  I have only been to one which had both anime and jrock as a theme, and.. i'm not doing it again xD

Hopefully it's better in other countries though.

Yeah, I figured. u_u so many X Freaks live in Europe! It makes me sad that you are all so far away... or I am...

As far as the con atmosphere, it can be hard being a Jrock fan in the midst of a bunch of anime freaks, but there are a select few anime I enjoy as well and I have never had a problem with people at cons; most people I meet are very nice (if clueless). It's a lot of fun to go to a large convention like AX where you have a good chance of meeting people you have things in common with, especially at the Jrock-centered events and such. That's why I go to them - plus it's an excuse to dress up in styles I adore but can't wear every day. :P

And sorry for my lengthy absence, real life has been simply a mess. XD I'll try and be more active.

I went to A-kon this year and it was my first con. I enjoyed it a lot. I wish I could go to AX but I can't afford a road trip there considering I'm taking one at the end of the month. Take lots of pictures though and hope you have a blast.
