I've been doing this anime convention thing for a bit now, and other people take plenty of pictures of
cosplayers, so I end up just taking pictures of people I know. But before, that, a brief interlude...
|
A day at the 5XL Studio (Feb 17, 2000) |
 This is one of the studio cats. I don't know his/her name, but goshdarnit, isn't it cute when it's asleep? |
 This is the lounge area of the studios. You can play ping-pong if you know the secret place where the ball is located (like I'd tell you) and for pete's sake, keep your feet off the furniture! |
 Lesley on the drums, Stanley on the keyboard, and Chris on the floor. |
Fanimecon 2000 (Feb 24-27, 2000) |
 This was my first introduction to the home version of Dance Dance Revolution, being demonstrated by Al and some other guy at the Howie's Hi-tech Games booth. |
 Nicole, looking as pretty as can be. |
 My silly camera decided to switch into another mode, which managed to chop off half of Lionel and half of Monica's face.... |
 Lesley in her not-a-costume clothes. No really, she dresses like this normally. People don't believe her when she says that. |
 Mara and Luke, who seems to have a stuffed Pokemon on his head. |
 Aya and Scott working at the Fanime merchandising booth. Scott was a bit surprised as Aya forcibly turned his head at the last minute to face the camera. |
 The view from the control booth in the Dealer's Room. Digital Discs on the left, and the videogaming section on the right. |
 Kirstin and Luke. Yet another attempt by me to get a decent picture of her... failed of course. |
 I don't normally take pictures of cosplayers, but... she's got a hamster on her head! |
 The control area of the karaoke room. (L to R) The back of Chico's head, Stanley, Mara hiding, face I can't recognize, Luke MCing in his Black Biscuits helmet, and Eileen. |
 Chico, Luke and Eileen singing something at karaoke. |
 Eileen, hard at work at the Anime Pavilion booth. |
 The crowd at the end of con gripe session. |
|
 And after the con, we all go to Angelino's for pizza and watch Mike Wright play the organ. |
Some vineyard (Sometime in March, 2000) |
 Trees. |
 Trees, parking lot and my car. |
 More trees. |
 Yet more trees. |
 Trees, and the actual vines. |
 Not trees. My cube at work. One of those "I've got one last picture on the roll, got to take a picture of something" shots. |
