Katsucon 2009
February 13-15, 2009
Hyatt Regency Crystal City
Arlington, VA
After getting a late start heading out the con on the thursday evening prior, we managed to unload and make about a gazillion trips to and from the room seeing as I had a ton of stuff to sell this con. Between the cyberlox and tentacles, and other things, there was a lot of stuff. This year, Katsucon moved back to the Hyatt Regency Crystal City hotel, so we didn't know what to expect since it was a smaller venue than in prior years, and they even instituted an attendance cap.
There was a long wait to pick up badges friday morning, and the crowding only got worse throughout the con. But luckily, it wasn't too cold outside and we spent a good deal of time taking picks outside the hotel. Besides manning the table selling stuff in the evenings, my friends and I also did a skit in the Masquerade. Goolander Wing. Think of Zoolander with a Gundam twist. I cosplayed Quatre Raberba Winner for this one. It was fun!
Thank you to all who purchased tentacles and cyberlox! I hope you are all enjoying them!
