There's really nothing much to it, but here we go.
The night before...
I was frantically trying to finish up the Morning Musume costume, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) glyph146's dad and half sister came by from Ontario to visit us, so the time that was supposed to be spent on sewing was spent on accompanying them instead. Ended up getting only 2 hours of sleep, but thanks to glyph146's help, the costume was done on time.
Then I went to take a quick nap...
2 and a half hours later, I woke up, got ready, glyph146 called a cab for me and off I went! The plane ride was surprisingly pleasant. Had to stop briefly in Las Vegas, 7 hours later, I was in LA.
Day 0
After I got off the plane, I waited for a shuttle bus to take me to the hotel (I pronounce Bonaventure with a French accent rather than in...English hahaha.). Despite all that traffic, I still managed to get there at around 2:30pm, sat in the lobby and waited for azu79. We met up 2 hours later, checked into our room, then went out to grab some groceries.
After that, we were greeted by katielovespink in our hotel room, chatted for a bit then went to the convention center to pick up our badges.
Met luffyxii at the convention center, he offered to get our badges for us without waiting in line, which was awesome, but we had to stand in a long ass line outside for our Morning Musume tickets, it was frickin' cold! WTF SoCal?
An hour later, we FINALLY got our tickets, so we went back to the hotel so we can meet up with our other room mate, josshouse and her boyfriend.
I think the gang pretty much spent the next few hours rehearsing and mixing the skit, when koneko, her husband and hybrid_twist met up with us. After that, azu79, katielovespink and I went to the karaoke room, where we were greeted by Skye and velvy, who threw an article of clothing at katielovespink while she was singing. XDDDDD.
Day 1
I got into my Nana costume, had a cigarette, hung out with azu79 for her karaoke contest while katielovespink and koneko went to the Morning Musume panel. Before the karaoke contest started, we went to the dealers' room to browse and to find azu79 some elf ears in the process. Mission successful, we got some at denarys's booth. Back to the karaoke room we went, I couldn't stop falling asleep while we were waiting for the contest to start. azu79 went up on stage and sang the theme song from Cutie Honey, she totally rocked it. We left right after, and went back to the hotel to change our uncomfortable shoes. azu79 went back to the convention center to see if she passed the prelim, and I hung out with katielovespink and koneko for their photoshoot with lionboogy. Of course, when I saw lionboogy, I was all over him...just for the lulz.
We went out for dinner after that, congrats to azu79 for winning the karaoke contest, by the way! Sorry I wasn't there to see the rest of it. =(
Day 2
MoMusu photoshoot with koneko, azu79, darkfaeryqueen and katielovespink by the awesome lionboogy.
Morning Musume concert! It rocked. After we got out, we were constantly stopped by people to have our picture taken, I thought they would stop if I start smoking a cigarette, apparently that attracted them over even more. -____-''' I wonder of there are pictures of me smoking floating around the internets? XDDD
The gang rehearsed for the skit a bit more later on at night.
That's pretty much the jist of it.
Day 3
 
I got into my ghetto Sylvia Christel costume, which my only purpose was to show off my boobs so screw accuracy =p, and hung out with the gang while they had their photoshoot with slave_to_anime and also met up with Tim and strongest_shld. Went backstage at the masquerade to watch them perform on stage. If you read everyone's con reports, you'll know that they got screwed over.
Here's the skit:

After the whole fiasco, all of us hung out in the convention center...t'was fun.
Day 4
Dealer's room day, got myself some cat ears and a top hat.
I treated everyone to dinner at Denny's, said our goodbyes, headed to Santa Monica after that.
*points to after con report a few entries down*
There. I got lazy, so excuse the lack of text as the post progressed. Won't be going back to AX next year, however, I want to go to the Make Up show that's held in SoCal next year, maybe we can hang out again. =)
