The infamous dealer's room. It looks innocent only because this is what it looked like just before the doors swung open and the mobs oozed in. I witnessed the carnage that ensued and the unworldly numbers of human bodies able to squeeze into this confined area. It was not pretty.
Mangler had no money and had to watch others hunt, haggle, and hoorah as they sweatily left the dealer's room, prizes held high in victorious finality... grrrrr.
Just as soon as I'd entered the dungeon of debt, I found these beauties... that's right, the Love Hina girls, Naru and Motoko. I took the only thing I could afford... a picture. *sob*
^.^,
While standing guard outside the dealer's room, I happened across this deadly young lady while she was draining some poor fanboy of his lifeforce. She didn't hear me giggling as the fanboy murmured, " I see London, I see France..." before he slipped into oblivion.
Actually, this is "Mana" from "Malice Mizer" (a popular J-Rock band)- thx for the update, Erin!
Tradition dictates that no anime convention is complete without a Dance Dance Revolution room. Here was Ushicon's. Mitchell (behind the chair) could only stand in marvel at the 45 minutes of hard labor our dancer (on the left) seemed oblivious of.
I draw your attention to circled setup of Mitch's pride and joy. A masterfully ghetto-rigged playstation secured to the chair. With pull ties. And a chain.
beware thieves... Mitch is on duty and you're stealing days are numbered.
Here's a better look at Mitch's handiwork. You only WISH you'd thought of this.
I feel safer already.
This warrior is actually another webcomic artist. When he's not teaming up with Shaolin Monks and fighting off ancient evils, Young likes to put some time into this.
Young is a fantastic artist and you'd do well to check out his site at Nekobox. Now put the sword away, Young... no need to threaten the nice readers... that's MY job.
That is, until you go and do something like THIS!
That's right! The hispanic with the cow hide on his head is the Mighty Mangler. Young saw me oogling the Love Hina girls on display and decided that a longing mangler was a pitiful one and presented me with Motoko-chan.
I was speechless, of course. Not only is Young an awesome artist, but he is a Mangler-tamer, too. Who'd've thunk it?! I couldn't bring myself to break ANY fanboy pinkies after this show of humanity. *sigh* Thanks again, Young!
