Hey! Let's hear your favorite times back at Anime Boston 2009!

I have to say, my favorite one is meeting Kalafina. I wasn't even supposed to! I walked by just as they were closing up, and even though the staff denied me, the sweet Japanese lady came up to me and took me in. I met Kalafina and Yuki Kajiura with absolutely no rush, and we all had a pretty long conversation about my outfit and how I made it. They even called me cute!

Yep, that was pretty much the happiest moment of my life, let alone Anime Boston. <3

The dance *coughravecough*.

That was a lot of fun and the music wasn't at all bad - only thing missing was Sandstorm.
Oh, and, meeting some girl named like Toshi but that's all I can remember of it :S.

[color:black]I must agree with you on that one. - 3 -

For you see, I was the Prussia cosplayer. The one stealing random people at points and probably laughing VERY VERY loudly , as loud as I could. xD

The photoshoots REALLY made my convention quite epic. If I wasn't at those photoshoots the con would not have been quite as awesome. xD

Everyone was so nice.... we all had so much fun and I got to meet so many wonderful people... even if I was trying my hardest to be constantly in character I know I would still have such a good time talking to everyone even when out of character!

THANKS HETALIA PHOTOSHOOT FOR MAKING ANIME BOSTON FOR ME COMPLEATLY.........

The dance in the dealer's room with the Assasin and Kite. Did anyone get the dance portion of the dance on video? I've seen the Caramelldansen part afterwards on youtube already.

I would have to say the Masq was amazing because I never thought we'd win and after we ran back to celebrate we were called up AGAIN! And I was like "We won? Team Rocket won?" and my friend looks over and says "And they made it double!" I lawled for a good 5.

Oh and singing on webcam to Yugioh Abridged boards with Kroze and Bakura and them! They were amazing! :-D

I have many favorite AB '09 moments, and here are 3 non-panel moments that were lots of fun:

On Friday morning, I saw someone cosplaying Kero-chan. I said hello to Kero, and he waved back. He then outstretched his arms, and I went over to hug him. I saw afterwards he put his hands on his cheeks. Hee!! That was so sweet! :thumbup:

Also, on Sunday afternoon, my boyfriend and I were walking in the Hynes, and we saw an L cosplayer. I said "Hello, L!", and he crouched down. He then reached into a bag he had, and gave us each Dum-Dum lollipops. :D We thanked him, and afterwards we said, "Cool!" :thumbup:

And, last but not least, I got to see someone briefly on Saturday morning I've known from AB for several years who used to work on staff. I hadn't seen her since last year, and I was happy to see her again, even though it was only for a few moments. :)

Best moments were definitely meeting the people I talked to leading up to AB either here on the forums, Facebook, AIM, and Xbox! My other favorite moments were meeting new people at the con! It was probably the best experience EVER!!!!!!! Thanks for making my first year at AB a great one!!!!

Yes, I remember when my boyfriend and I had gone into the Dealers Room on the first day, we were both almost overwhelmed because it was so much bigger/more spread out than last year. It was a blast, though.^_^

I was dressed as Tony Stark, and my friends were the Riddler and Black suited Spider-Man. Several times during the convention, my Riddler friend (this was his first time to AB) was trying to play along with everyone he recognized. One of the things he'd do was whenever he saw a Sora from Kingdom Hearts, he'd do his best Goofy impersonation and yell out "Sora! Help!" to see if any of them would do anything. One of the Soras actually turned around, fully in character, jumped up and yelled out "I'm coming!" When she got there, she spotted my friend as Spider-Man, shouted out "A heartless!" and chased him around for 5 minutes straight. This became ritual for whenever we'd see this particular Sora, and this ended up happening roughly 7 times over the entire weekend. Definitely my favorite moment. If that Sora reads this, thank you very much for making our weekend, and happy belated 21st birthday!

Assorted people yelling "Powerpuff Girls!" and getting told a few times that it was awesome for us to do the costumes was awesome.

The guy working a DVD booth in the Dealer's Room that sold me the complete Princess Tutu boxset for $40 instead of $45 (was $5 short - and since I LOVE Princess Tutu, that totally made my weekend<3).

My friends and I hit up the jacuzzi in the Sheraton a few times to take a break from the con, and one time there was this group of other AB'ers there that we had a long, fun convo with (and the whole demonic water-sprayers from the jacuzzi at the same time).

And the least favorite; I got really sick on Saturday afternoon and passed out at the hotel around 6pm and slept through the night - so I missed the concert/informal dance that night. D: gr.

At the end of Veronica Taylor's Voice Acting panel, I was chatting with her and security asked "Who is he? Is he staff?" while trying to get her to her interview. Her reply was "He's close enough. He's a friend" So felt like a V.I.P (Veronica's Important Pal) as we walked in "the back" away from fan bombardment.

During the dance some girl went "omgzzzz thissss guyyy i wuuuvvv u" to when I was dancing. :p Scored her digits too! 8)

When someone was selling "Ancient Chinese secrets" @ the AA, I did two funny things: 1) I yelled "I find that highly offensive" and 2) I faked bitched-slap the guy

The Hetalia photo shoot was all kinds of amazing xD Loved meeting so many fabulous people!

And does actually getting recognized count as a favorite moment? I usually cosplay well-known series so I was pretty sure nobody'd know who I was outside of the panel/photo shoot, so I was really surprised when I kept meeting people who were all "Lithuania!" and I'm like, "Seriously?! 8D"

Oh yeah, and Troy Baker is THE MAN.

Favorite moment... I guess it was the AMV contest. I see so many terrible AMV's on YouTube that seeing a few good ones during the contest was really nice. It gave me a few ideas for whenever I feel like making another one.

my favorite moments:
-Anime Unscripted...."there's an app for that" hahaha.
-my friend actually knowing all the words to the Pokemon theme song in German
-making the "Non-Masq Line"/"Anti-Masq Line" on Saturday
-being smacked on the head with a Pizza Hut box by a C2 cosplayer after hugging the Lelouch she was walking with and ignoring her
-my friends and I sharing Twizzlers with the L from Cosplay Chess as we were leaving the Main Events hall
-playing Catch the Barrel. more specifically, trying to make off with the barrel after winning it and being dragged back to the circle of challengers by a particularly stern Tobi cosplayer.

I'm sure there's more that I'll remember later. I had a ridiculous amount of fun.
