Arisia 2004! This year's Arisia was probably my favorite. Most of my friends went, Wacko was still around, and it was a good time overall. I'm not sure what I did for housing this year, I believe it's the year that started using the Anime Room as my main base of operations. Since hotel rooms are so expensive and since Arisia is a 24 hour a day con, I just sleep in a sitting position, while pretending to watch anime. Usually nobody hassles me. Some of the others got rooms and shared them. While we didn't do a whole lot, we still had a lot of fun. |
The weekend started off with a pleasant surprise: school was canceled!
|
All the stuff I carried around
|
|
Wacko think's he's spiffy with his hat
|
|
Muffie gives James a skeptical look
|
|
|
|
|
Hooray, the Boston Park Plaza Hotel
|
I'm not sure I even know these people
|
|
|
|
A typical hallway at the Park Plaza
|
|
|
Oh no! Don't do it James!
|
Steph poses for a picture
|
|
I don't know who this is either
|
Wacko hanging out in the computer room
|
That creepy statue thing that comes back every year
|
|
|
Wacko brought his video camera
|
|
It's that stupid warning that I take a picture of every year
|
Yeah, that's where the action is
|
Beany looks like she's having fun
|
|
|
There used to be an "M" there. ...I totally didn't take it
|
|
|
Beany walking down the hall
|
I forget this guy's name, but Beany apparently knows him
|
|
Beany doesn't even have shoes on!
|
|
Ein! I finally got Ein back!
|
Beany stole Ein for many months, and now I've got him back
|
|
Well isn't this an action-packed image
|
|
|
|
|
James was riding these things around
|
I wasn't really a gopher. I just kind of got the ribbon
|
James probably shouldn't be riding those things
|
Looking down the stairwell
|
Some staffers saw me take this picture and came after me for some reason
|
I took this shot every year for a while
|
When it's late at night, there's not a whole lot to take pictures of
|
"I am watching you through a camera!"
|
T is for "top?" I think it's for "tower"
|
|
|
I didn't know Ein could fly!
|
|
|
My laptop wasn't really radioactive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
James + Ein shot 16. I eventually put all these images together
|
|
|
|
Wacko hanging out in the con suite
|

|
Steph's got some Chex Mix
|
|
|
|
It's that guy I run across every year
|
Everyone hangs out in the lobby
|
|
This guy's still working, this late at night
|
|
This is how I carried Ein around
|
|
|
|
|
Other people are also getting food
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I heart the internet room
|
Someone took my camera and took this picture of me sleeping in the anime room
|
The guy who's supposed to be in charge was also sleeping
|
|
|
|
|
Wacko gets his hair braided

All the stuff I won. I won the Haibane DVD I needed!

Dan and Beany stand around
|

A final look at the lobby floor
|
|
Lots of flyers for other cons
|
|
|
That stick plastic with writing..
|
I wasa gopher, but I didn't help at all
|
|
|
|
|
|
Someone drew where the posters go
|
Beany ends the day with a weird face
