I was on vacation last week! Each year, I go to Colossalcon, one of the largest Anime conventions in the midwest. I'll be real, I'm not super into anime, but there's so much you can do that it's not a huge deal if you're into it or not! I thought I'd log my adventures.

Wednesday night was badge pick up night! Not a lot to do, but I did go to a bit of a speed-friending event to get to know some people after grabbing my badge! It was nice to meet some new friendly faces. After that my group and I perused a gaming market. I found mothman (!!!) and snapped a pic with me. We headed out and packed that night for the weekend to come!

Thursday was when stuff. Got. Real. I donned my first cosplay for the week, Stevonnie from Steven Universe. We got there a little after noon and got our bearings. I went to a panel where I learned how to write my name in Japanese. Then we walked around the craft fair where vendors sell the crafts they've made. I got a few cute lil animals and some Fallout gear! We checked out cosplay chess, where cosplayers move as chess pieces on a board! I also attended a FREAKING WEDDING!!! Two strangers I've never met invited attendees to see them tie the knot. The ceremony was short and sweet, but beautiful! Then we headed to a panel about the Super Mario Bros movie from 1993! (I'll probably talk about that movie some other time lol, but we have a history.) We then checked into our hotel and came back to the resort to go to the water park! There was a rave in the waves, a hot tub, and the lazy river. We also went on 2 slides!

Stay tuned to see where our adventures took us next!
