I didn't get to see it then, but I was in the 
room... I'm a shy little mouse, I guess. ~_^ I 
wanted to admire everyone's cels, but I just 
couldn't imagine walking up and saying "OOOO, let 
me admire that cel..." ~_^ The mouth looks so 
good in the scan too! ~_^ She was absolutely so 
cool- I hope someone gets her a cel of Touya!! 
(Did you hear her talking about that?) 

I loved getting cels signed. I know some people 
think it devalues the cel, but when the person 
who created a character picks up your cel and 
admires it....  it just makes the whole 
collecting thing worthwhile. 

 I got two new Keisuke cels.... And a *really* 
cute one ($40!) with background of Miaka from the 
OAV I- when she is changing her clothes to go 
save Yui. It has her face in the mirror and 
everything... Very nice, esp. for the price, I 
thought. I got another of the same sequence (her 
hand is up to take off her tie) which came with a 
pretty cute one of Mitsukake for $10... Two cels, 
$10, not bad. ^_^ Katherine likes Asylum! ~_^ 

 Now I am just totally beat though... This was 
actually my first con, and I live in Raleigh (the 
Sheraton was all of 15 minutes away) and have 
been an anime fan since 1995. I was really amazed 
by some of the CosPlayers, more than anything 
else. Some really looked AWFUL. They had body 
parts hanging out of their costumes (and should 
NOT have) or their costumes were just badly made. 
But then some of them looked INCREDIBLE. Some of 
the Utena girls looked just like their character. 
Two girls dressed up as Aya had really NICE 
costumes too...... 

 Okay, I'll stop babbling....I know no one's 
reading anymore now anyway.  I have to be 
at work tomorrow (Yep, on Memorial Day too!) so I 
better go to sleep or else... ^.^
