AVCon 2011: Let's talk about it!

by Hans Stockmann » Tue Jul 26, 2011 12:05 pm

Come on guys, let's talk about that big thing most of us went to over the weekend! Well, except me. I was busy grouching at kids wanting to use Wiimotes most of the time.
Although I don’t know about the directions at 4:51.
It’s commonly known when you look north in Japan East is to your left. Please don’t try to correct that sentence. It lasts only for a second but I wouldn’t expect a mistake like that.

I loved the panels guys. Honest. That last day I had no break in between my events in fact i was sad that i had to leave the mecha panel before it ended because I thought my mario Kart wii tournament would disqualify me.

The Cosplay was good, a lot of sailor moon didnt realise kids liked that show. when and how did they watch it?

My highlight was watching Eva 2.22 with the crowd, they cheered on all the fanservice scenes that made me smile and also made me realise just how pervy Eva really is. The Durarara! screening was great as well. The crowd went crazy fr some good Shizuo and izaya scenes. I hope new fans were made im tired of being the only male fanboy of the show.

Oh and the bid...oh Garry.

You very nearly got dropped, lucky you showed up when you did. :v

IIRC sailor moon used to be shown on Cheez TV in the mid-late 90s.

Won 1 tournament, SCIV
Got 2nd place in another Tournament Tetris - just got 2nd place but I took the 100 bucks cause the AVcon staff won.
$200 worth of vouchers.

Got Fifth in the Ultimate Gamer blutig verdammt USELESS BRUCE LEE, should of killed the Army Guy boss.
Should of entered in the MVC3 and Mario Kart Wii, that's what I get for not asking tourney guys!!

I wanted the pink dress but wasn't gonna pay 2600 for one. I mean c'mon there were plenty of Pink DS Lites around, needed the dress to complete my collection, blutig trolls at least bid an acceptable amount like $800.
Oh well! Garry at least you have 15 minutes of INTERNET FAME!!!
I'm glad everyone ignored me I specialize at fading away and no one noticing me. My Dad said I was on the news as well !!!!

Both panels presented by AJAS at AVCON are now available in full in the AJASChan channel on Youtube.

My weekend went something like:

- Talking with one of the Siren Visual guys and purchasing 3 series from them
- Talking with people from the SA Public Libraries group
- Watching the How to Make AMVs panel
- Watching Mackellar win the Soul Calibur 4 tournament
- Watching LittleKuriboh's Saturday panel
- Presenting the History of Anime panel with Adam and Sam
- Doing an interview with a nice woman from Radio Adelaide
- Watching the Cosplay Competition (this year's was reasonable but 2010s was better by a considerable margin)
- Watching the auction and picking up a couple of items
- Watching the Closing Ceremony
Disgusting...

Of course, Image what you could do with $2500

Buy a new laptop and new computer.
Buy all 3 consoles and 2 handhelds this generation and plenty of games also have some left over for the Wii U
Buy a season's worth of anime or more
Buy around 25 figures

but NOOOOOO you had to buy a pink dress !!!

I had a pretty great time, didn't get to do everything that I wanted, but it was still a really fun weekend.
