So as many of my other Danish cosplay friends, I have just attended Genki 2011.
And I will write a report because I need to get the con out of my system XD

This will be a summary of what I did from Tuesday till today 8D

Tuesday
:iconporalizer: came to my place in the evening and we had the fun times getting ice cream in the middle of the night and showing her my show costume, that I finished a week before the con 8D

Wednesday
I got my grandfather to drive us to my girl :iconkamirenee:'s place, and there we spend some time practicing our skit and the dance we would do for the intro show. I got a peek of her costumes and they all looked SO pretty >w<

Thursday
Another day of doing not so much with Sasha. While Kami was at work, we watched the first episode of Sherlock and I really liked it 8D So I will watch the other episodes I think. We also started to watch a let's play of Silent Hill 4 the Room (that I have seen all of 4 times already, and still find ever so funny). Kami came home at about 3 and we practiced the act for the first time in our costumes! It was amazing and I got so excited that I could almost not sleep :C So I laid in bed with Sasha for a long time just talking, so cozy ~

Friday, con day 1
Sasha got up like really early to go to Roskilde, but I still manged to sleep till about 9. Kami came and woke me up, best way to start the day~ At around 10 or so :iconflybike: and Lisa (I am not stalking her DA yet XD) came to the house and we all got ready for the con. Me and Kami dressed up as Rin and Len Kagamine in some artwork inspired closet cosplay for the opening show that we would do together with :iconzuum: as Gakupo.
When we got to Roskilde (After a LOOOOOOONG bus trip) the area in front of the convention was kinda crowded, and it was around 2ish and we had to be ready to preform at 4 at the opening show. Kami and I got in fairly quickly when we explained the situation to the staff and we got our armbands. Zuum had to be at her little brother's birthday so she would hurry and come later so she could be in the show to. OR SO WE THOUGHT
Because of the LONG line, the opening show got pushed back to 8, where Zumm was supposed to munch on cake and Kami and I had to go to the cosplay meeting, so we did not get to preform at the opening show for the last time (it is simply a little to much for our schedules to handle, so no more opening show paras)
So Kami and I just drifted a little around until the meeting. We spend a lot of time in the artist ally just talking to our friends, as you do at a con.
After the meeting we went outside. We stood there for like... 15 minutes or so talking to a friend and then my legs started to ich like HELL. I had gotten 10 mosquito bites T____T It really sucks, because my legs makes mosquito bites look like bruises atm... But luckily I was not showing legs this weekend XD
We took the train home and pretty much went straight to bed.

Saturday, con day 2
Kami and I got up really early to get everything ready, make up, roses and so forth. We kinda stressed but it was nice to sit in the bus just chilling. When we got to the con I just stored the tables leaning against Kamis suitcase with our costumes in it. When we had to move on, I was too slow to catch the tables so one of the vases we glued on to them fell off and smashed against the floor!!!! Luckily it was Kami's vase and she was the servant, so it would make sense that she did not have a vase but still... I kinda stressed a little over it, trying to get another vase but in the end I think it worked out okay.
After our sound check Kami and I put on our costumes (Rin and Len Kagamine in a Servant of Evil version) and we went to the artist ally to drop off our stuff. After I ate two bananas, :iconzRikuintheDarkx: came running saying we had to go to the backstage room, unless we wanted to be disqualified!! So we kinda had to drop everything we had in our hands and run down to the backstage area. I got a little confused because we were told to meet in there at 12, and this was at 11:30 :C But we did not get disqualified so I guess it was okay XD
It was so boring sitting down there.... There was not much to do, but we got to talk with some of the other groups. Then I discovered that I had forgotten my shawl for Rin, and Kami got Zuum to fetch it for us. I love you so hard for that dear ;w; <3 <3 <3
And then the moment came when we had to go on stage. Because of the large number of Vocaloid groups (many of them being Rin and Len) we really got a bad feeling from the audience when we were announced, until they said our team name and our friends cheered us on. If they had not cheered for us, I think I would have done such a shitty job, because everybody sounded so bored about Vocaloid :C On the stage, I think I have been at a diffident show, and I really do not remember much besides not being able to hear ANY reaction what so ever from the audience and our lights got a little mixed up (they turned it on WAY to late in the beginning). The lighting was generally a bit off... We just needed them to turn it on and off with a fade effect, but they still threw spot light on us at the end :C

Here is a recording of our act from Youtube, thank you who ever you are <3 (the only one I can find at the present  time XD)
After the show we went out to all of our friends. They were so sweet and Aybike was in tears like big time! I got so touched that people liked our act, because to be honest, we had got a lot of "oh you are gonna be so boring because you are doing vocaloid" looks when we told people who we were going to be.
After half an hour we sat in the hall again to hear the winners get announced.
And guess what
...

WE GOT CROWD FAVORITE!!!! A effing VOCALOID ACT got crowd favorite! When I got on stage I almost cried of happiness, it was such an amazing feeling getting an award for the first serious act I preformed. And as an even better bonus I got to kiss my beautiful Len back stage <3 I am so grateful she went up on stage with me, and made the experience so amazing.

The rest of the day with with getting our pictures taken a lot, getting something to eat and a wig break at MacDonalds, and then getting out of our cosplays XD
It was just such an amazing feeling to win something, but I still has not really sunken in yet XD
And congratulations to the other groups who won, all of them so deserved it!! (We were so busy cheering for them, we did not quite get we had won anything when they said our name XD)

Sunday, con day 3
We got up early today again because I thought the con ended at 4 instead of 6 XD This day I was Gian Carlo from Lucky Dog 1 and Kami was Ivan from the same game. We got to the con and watched the craftsmanship show/cat walk. I was disappointed by my fellow audience members for NOT making all the noise the walk on people deserved! :C
After the show we wanted to get something to eat, and Kami told me she wanted to change -something-(THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT LATER). I was waiting with Zuum, and she started to film me in order to find the right setting on her camera to make a cosplay video from the con. And now all you dear watchers will know how slow I am: It did NOT occur to me Zumm had not made any recordings of other cosplayers that day, it did not occur to me she was moving me around on purpose, positioning me and I did not notice how happy :iconmirazie: got when I handed her my camera. Why you now ask, is this important?
Kami was pulling a prank on me. A MEAN ONE :C
Revenge for me teasing her at SVS con.


She changed from Ivan to Bernando!!!! Fuuuuu
I had been like "please let there not be a Bernando at Genki" because he is like a super seme manly man and well, Gian Carlo is not.. It is bad enough I had a Ivan! XD I got so surprised I dun even. Zuum recorded the whole thing and Miraze took some pictures. I must admit, my girlfriend makes one sexy Bernando. So I really did not mind at aaaaall~ nom nom nom
The rest of the day went with me going "ohmigoshyouaresosweettodothishoney" (I have a thing for people remembering stuff I have said and actually doing something related to it. And come on, pulling something like that shows she really put a lot of thought into it. She is just so sweet <3333333 - sorry, I mean, I am like cool and all, this does not face me at all. 'CEPT IT MAKES ME FEEL ALL GIDDY AND STUFF... And she was like really hot as him (not that she is not hot at any other given time too~)) and just talking with friends. I went home with the others and decided to stay for one more day.

Monday
Kami woke me at around 9 and Aybike got up half an hour later. Then we talked a little and got brunch. Kami brought a collection of movies featuring Samuel L. Jackson. I wanted to see the Excorsist 3. Samuel L. Jackson was in it for like 20 seconds! And it is the worst movie I have ever seen!!! XD But I was really fun watching it wish Kami and Aybike~ After that I got sick and spend most of the comedy with Samuel L. Jackson half sleeping half finding out how to get home. We got pizza for dinner and I got home 7:30. My grandfather drowe me, yay!
Gosh I am so tired now, I cannot really find energy to do much, and this week will be my most stressful one D: darn it.

This next weekend I am going to Aalborg to have a shoot by :iconzarsu: with :iconchikaradesu: in our Panty and Stocking cosplay. I really cannot wait to see my DamianSuperRobs again, I really missed her at this con! D:

So this is my novel journal for today~
