Smash! 2009, my first anime/manga convention, turned out to be more packed than I expected, I also had more fun than I expected and ultimately spent twice the amount of money I had anticipated. Note this blog post will not be as detailed as Rogers, and will not contain photos, as I did not bother taking pics there (might put in pics of my purchases).
On Saturday, waking up at 6:20, I got myself ready for the event I expected to be an ‘asian gathering’ (despite 2 of my white friends). I got dressed, brought around $120, ate a banana for breakfast then got my dad to drive me to the station. Soon after, we were on the train with Bevan, and later joined by Roger. We had a fun nerdy random conversation getting ourselves pumped for what awaited us. We arrived at Central station, walked outside to Eddy Av. and…’OHHH S*****T’. There were so many people in line for the buses, by now, my expectations for the event skyrocketed. Missing out on the first bus, we finally pushed our way through to get onto the second bus.
Arriving at the Roundhouse…’OH S**T’. The lines were so bloody long, and I started to feel the need to go to the bathroom…
To be continued?
