Overall Portcon Experience.

Well, this was definitely my least favorite convention out of the five I have been to in the past four years, but I am still glad I went. I met some really lovely people and had some interesting experiences. 

Highlights of the Con:

  • Thursday! All of it!
  • PortProm. Best one Portcon has ever had.
  • The Shonen Ai Panel.
  • The Homestuck Photoshoot.
  • The Homestuck Panel. (Partly. I am still mortified about my personal failure to being able to form a sentence when I am nervous.) But overall it was a success and everyone ELSE did wonderful. XD 
  • Getting wonderful photos this year.
  • The parade.
  • Brian Brushwood’s Magic Show.
  • The Rave. (Although it was my least favorite that I’ve ever attended. I still had fun.)
  • Getting Kyle Hebert and Joel Macdonald’s autographs!
  • The girl in the mall who freaked out because I was Roxas. Haha.
  • Buying beautiful Kuroshitsuji posters.
  • Finding Glee Season One for $8.
  • Meeting excellent people. That’s always great.

Negatives of the Con:

  • Uncomfortable in my cosplay from the heat all weekend.
  • Basically no Kingdom Hearts cosplayers! D: So therefore, no KH Meetup!
  • Never ran into Carrie Jones to get her to sign my “Captivate” book. 
  • The rain on Saturday night. Ugh.
  • Saturday in general. 
  • Getting unbelievably nervous at the Homestuck Panel and embarrassing myself.
  • Getting sick from bad apple juice.
  • Getting sick on Sunday; and I am STILL sick. ):
  • Not having all the friends with me that I am used to having at the con.
  • Losing one of my favorite earrings.
  • Losing my clear monroe labret.
  • Running into my ex. 
  • Being left alone a lot.
  • Other stuff I can’t talk about.
  • Bleh.

Determined to make next year better! As I said though, I am still glad I went and there were some SUPER fun moments. Wonder what cosplay I’ll have for next year. :D
