'Bout time I post my own pictures, hmmm? Since I was the most "tourist" of the group, I have lots of them (too much even, I won't show ALL of them since they're either not very significant or repeats whatever that has been posted already) so here we go with the meetup, on my perspective! ^^
Thursday: So things on my first day didn't go as expected, but in a lovely way: since I have arrived a lot earlier to the airport and the weather wasn't looking great in Montreal (the night before we had a lighting storm), the airline have switched me on an earlier flight. (On perspective, it was a really good thing - I only learned yesterday that my original flight got canceled o.o;;) Cuz of all that instead of Lilblue, Morg, Marion and her boyfriend to wait for me at Boston's airport, I was the one waiting for them! ^^; And when they greeted me, I saw this: Spoiler: show After that we did a quick stop to my hotel to Spoiler: show After that we went off to the Museum of Science! First thing we saw was this Rube Goldberg-ish machine that it's purpose was to spin a fan while a bunch of balls went through a complicated course and making music along the way: Spoiler: show Then we checked out a section of the museum where there was a lots of birds: Spoiler: show There was also this game where you had to walk through a corridor towards a bird without scaring it. It had two difficulties. Lilblue passed through hard mode like a boss/ninja, while me... seems like my game tester powers decided to activate even while I'm vacation and screwed over the game: the screens froze and couldn't detect me arriving at the end of the corridor ^^;; After that we watched a small presentation of "magic tricks" with science: Spoiler: show Oh and we took another picture with the heat sensor camera, and saw more birds! Spoiler: show Oh, and here's a view of PART of the museum: Spoiler: show And then we went to the butterflies garden! Spoiler: show Then we went off shopping and sightseeing around town. We first checked out a imports store with lots of anime goodies and such :3 Spoiler: show And then we stopped off for a snack at a tea place where they had yummy bubble tea and mochi ice cream! Spoiler: show After more shopping, the day was over and it was time to go back to sleep. It was about time because my feet were dead, and my right foot was hurting me so bad it poisoned most of the rest of the week, hurting the whole way through ;-; (which by the way guys, sorry for all the complaining about it.) To put it in perspective... Spoiler: show So that'll be it for now, of course I'll post pics of the other days, but it takes long to resize all those pictures and everything ^^;; |

sample 1 sample 2 Although apparently not if you use a machine? sample 3 As for mochi ice cream, I dunno if it'd be worth your time and effort to try and make that from scratch, but who knows. *shrug* Maybe it's easy provided you already have the mochi. No clue.

And on with the next day! Friday: I actually didn't take many pictures on that day (at least, none redundant with those already posted) so it'll be a bit on the short side ^^; As Lilblue mentioned before, we were supposed to meet at a start of a panel (Japanese confectionery :3) but I mistakenly gave to her and Morg the time when the panel ended instead of started ^^;;; At least I realized my mistake halfway through the panel so I was able to enjoy the panel a bit and meet up with everyone ^^ Before the panel though Spoiler: show As previously talked about that day we went to the Q&A of Greg Ayres and Nabeshin and we tried to get on the Pokémon panel but just when we were a few people away from entering, the panel was full and the security wouldn't let us in ;-; We also looked in the last minutes of the "Know Ur Meme" gameshow, and to end our day we checked out the panel "Totally Subversive Toons" that ended up with a video montage featuring the famous big speech in Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" and scenes from MLF: FiM. Don't ask X) Again, more to come! ^^ Last edited by OkikuMew; 05-29-2013 at 04:00 PM. |

He is an awesome bro ^^
Saturday: Another low-pic day for me. Mostly because again we missed a LOT of the panels (well, gameshows) we wanted to go because it got filled up completely. So we just went off shopping in the Dealer's Room most of the day :3 Spoiler: show Other than that, we also were able to sneak in the Zelda panel and got into the "Bad Anime Bad" panel, showing really, REALLY bad anime (too bad I don't remember the titles of said anime.) Oh, and we also hanged out in my room for awhile to read the Hyrule Historia and the two Ace Attorney mangas I brought with me :3 Last edited by OkikuMew; 05-29-2013 at 03:44 PM. |

There were quite a few Honey cosplayers that I saw... I think my final bunny total was over 50 or 60, including all the ones in the Dealer's Room. XP At some point I gave up keeping close track, especially considering I wasn't sure whether to count repeats. ^^; It's too bad we didn't get to see the AMV Contest. Wonder if there were any more amusing ones this year. Guess we'll just have to wait and see if they get uploaded to YT...

Yeah, I think it's too bad too :/ the fact there was so many things at the same time going on (not to mention it was the perfect time for shopping) that the AMV Contest had to go :/ Maybe next year? ^^; And oh hey, MOAR PICTURES! \o/ (I hope I don't bust out the Internet usage for this...) Sunday: Although a bit of a slow day AB-wise (as all cons goes on Sundays), but there's still quite a few pics since we got plenty of entertainment outside AB ^^ Speaking of AB, mostly all we did that day was last-minute MOAR SHOPPING, and as mentioned by Lilblue we checked out two gameshow panels, Anime Taboo and Name that Anime Tune (with in between 30 minutes of Omegle goodness). Spoiler: show After AB we all went to meet up with everyone at the Cheesecake Factory :3 OHMYGOD THE FOOD IS GOOD THERE. I feel ashamed that I couldn't eat the leftover Turtles cheesecake I took ;-; Spoiler: show After eating our yummy meal, we all went to the aquarium! First stop... Spoiler: show Oh and of course after the Aquarium we went bowling, but Lilblue and Loki covered that part up pretty well already ^^; I'll be posting my last batch of pics tomorrow, related to my last (non travel-related and fun) day in Boston! And also the aftermath with all the goodies I bought/brought with me :3 Last edited by OkikuMew; 05-29-2013 at 10:48 PM. |

I care not for anime so I'm missing most of these references, but I'm glad to see you all had fun. I'd totally be down for an international version of this someday.
Also seconding Morg's bro-ness. Also also I'm not sure how to say that Marion looks hot without sounding creepy. Hmm. |

Wow, seems a lot of guys are wanting to start a bromance with Morg now! *shot* Well he did get experience from his stay in Sheraton... *shot repetitively for inside joke* ANYways, here's my last pack of pics! Monday: With AB now truly gone, the whole day was all about sightseeing and do everything we could do in Boston while we can, since it was my last day before I need to go back home (although I was technically leaving only at 6pm I still needed to be at the airport 5-6 hours in advance and not to mention I had to pack everything up...) So our first plan was going to the Museum of Fine Arts! Spoiler: show First surprise of the day: ended up the entry price was free because of Memorial Day! \o/ I know about that holiday, but I didn't know it was that day! ^^; Not complaining though! As already said we checked out the temporary exhibit of samurai armors, but we also checked fairly quickly the permanent exhibits (mostly the asian one): Spoiler: show And after we had enough (well, more that we wanted to do something else, that place's so huge you can also spend days just visiting that! ^^;) we went off to the duck tours! Spoiler: show After all was said in done, unfortunately it was getting late and we had a hard time deciding what to do since all the other museums and such were closed, and movies these days are on the boring side ^^; So we simply took a walk around Boston Common and the Public Garden! Spoiler: show When we started to be a bit hungry (just a tiny bit hungry for me, I wasn't that hungry that night ^^;) we went off to finish the day with a bang by eating at the Top of the Hub, the restaurant on the 52nd floor of the Prudential Tower ^^ You've seen the sights, now you'll see the food! Spoiler: show And then the saddest part came around: leaving everyone behind. We had a group hug and of course made a promise to continue talking to each other in FB and perhaps doing an event like this again ^^ (not-so-fun fact: I actually cried when I turned my back and walked away.) So there you have it! ...Or not quite actually, I still got one more picture to show! MY LOOT! :3 Took it the night when I got home~ Spoiler: show NOW there you have it! ^^ I hope everyone liked my pictures~! I had so much fun ^^ I really have to thank all of you guys who were there with me, you were a lot of help and made the whole thing 10x more awesome ^^ I really hope we can do something like this again next year! <3 Last edited by OkikuMew; 05-30-2013 at 01:19 PM. |
