Hey all! With the upcoming deadline for the pre-preregistration for the March 2007 Anime Detour, I thought I'd upload some pictures from last year's convention.
NOTICE!!!
SOME of these pictures are pg13 OR MORE! The convention is DEFINITELY NOT meant for little kids. I will warn you which pictures are and aren't pg rated.
Last years convention was my personal first. It was awesome! I only got to go for a day and a half, and I did not end up staying in a hotel room. I cosplayed as Meryl from Trigun, which let me tell you, was a last minute made costume. The small group that went last year (this was BEFORE we made a club) was often split, and my date through the weekend ended up being Betsy. Most of us ended up "partnering" naturally. Not many of us ate or drank in 24 hours or so, though we did take a few breaks for rice and soda at the cafeteria.
The DDR room was pitiful, and unless I hear good things I won't be doing that again. There were two pads and one screen in a crowded room with long lines to the pad. The way the whole area felt was just depressing. If you're looking for DDR, I recomend the arcade.
As for the shops, bring a million dollars. You could spend a good fortune here easily and happily. Pocky, so many different kinds! Plushies, figurines, wall scrolls, anime weapons, strange apparrel and OF COURSE Manga and Anime. There's SOOO many stores, I'd get a job just to pay for my whims at the store.
Anyways, what you came here for. The photos.
Betsy, and her dress up twin we found. PG.

https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture222.jpgThe whole crowd. And Mark's interesting wall scroll. R RATED!
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture223.jpgTwo of Micah's random friends. PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture224.jpgA Vash (Trigun), who titled his cosplay contest act, Sexy Vash, and a fairly good Lulu (FFX). PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture225.jpgShuichi (Gravitation). We kept seeing him around, so I took a picture. Sadly, however, this dude could NOT pull off this costume AT ALL. So I'm giving it a higher viewing level of PG13
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture226.jpgAnother Vash (Trigun). Probably a hot topic coat, but hey. Check out the glasses man! PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture227.jpgLink (Zelda). I actually took this picture more for this guy's amazing height. I think he had to be seven feet tall! Look at him compared to the chair. PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture228.jpgI don't know who this was, but he looked really awesome...and I wanted to date his hair! PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture229.jpgAgain...I don't know who this was, but he looked cool. He was a bit of a meanie though. PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture230.jpgAnother Vash we found, this time me and Betsy are posing with him. Haha, Meryl and Vash together again! PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture231.jpgCORRECTIONS NEEDED! I'm not positive who these two actually are, but guesses are they're from Slayers. They're sooooo awesome! PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture232.jpgPanda Power forever! XD We found a panda! PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture233.jpgHoly crap. Me and Betsy were drooling over this dude's sexiness. Not sure what he's from, if he's from anything. PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture234.jpgA friend of mine, cosplaying as...nothing. This is the first time I actually met her in person. One of my real life friends introduced me to her over messenger, and she happened to also be going to Detour. I love you Allie! PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture236.jpgOne of my absolute favorites there! Tira (Soul Calibur 3). If you don't know this character, look her up in google images. This is an excellently made and worn costume. Bravo, Tira. Bravo. PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture237.jpgSomeone from Bleach. If you know his character name, tell me. Really nicely done! PG
EDIT: this is Kenpachi Zarakihttps://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture238.jpgCareful with this one. Yuna (FFX-2). This is a scary one. I wouldn't have taken a picture, but while it was speaking to its friends, I realized...this is not female. This is a male dressing up as Yuna. Disturbing much! PG13
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture239.jpgAMAZING! Hello Kitty and...something else I don't know. This woman has been making anime costumes for the longest time. She's almost always the first place winner in the contest. Beautiful, astounding! PG
https://2img.net/h/i13.photobucket.com/albums/a281/dragonsoul222/Detour/Picture242.jpgA fairly well made duo of Naruto and Sakura (Naruto). PG
