It’s been almost a week since I got back, but I totally forgot to post how it went, but damn I have a lot to say.

First, holy fuck I didn’t realize Genshin Impact was as popular as it is. By far the game/series that had the most amount of cosplayers was Genshin Impact, and the most popular cosplay by far for Genshin was Raiden Shogun. For a gacha game, especially one made in China, I didn’t think it would have the fanbase that it does, but it does, and I bit the bullet and started playing it on Monday. The game’s pretty fun imo, but it’s honestly up to you how you wanna do it.

Anyways, I got there on Thursday, settled into the Airbnb I was staying in with friends, then I found parking. For any convention at the GWCC, unless it’s full, park in the Red Deck, it’ll save you so much time walking, as you can access all three buildings the GWCC has from the Red Deck by using the walkway on the 7th floor.

Thursday I mainly did Karaoke and took pictures with cosplayers, but that was pretty damn fun. The whole setup for the convention was cool, it was all 4 floors of building B, with the first floor being autographs, the vendor hall, and all the e-sports stuff, and the other 3 floors were for panels. Friday I just went around to a bunch of panels, there were a few woke panels, I just didn’t go to them, but I did go to karaoke and a “cosplaying on a budget” panel.

Saturday was the start of Smash, didn’t do well, but I’m taking a break from Smash anyways, waiting on a new controller, but after that, I didn’t really feel like doing much, so I took a ton of pictures, bought a few shirts and then went to karaoke, before I found out about a party going on at a nightclub that night, and holy fuck was it fun.

Got there, it opened at 10, but it started slow AF, and people didn’t really fill it up until 11:30, but once people started going at it, I had tons of fun. I have no clue if they were employees at the nightclub, but they had a Raven, a Catwoman, a mummified Anhka and some random kitsune cosplayer (couldn’t tell who they were dressed up ass) rotate being on stage and showing off, but that was fun as hell. The rave ended at a solid 3 in the morning, and I went straight back to that Airbnb because I wanted to enjoy Momocon before it ended at 5 on Sunday.

On Sunday I didn’t do much, I mainly just walked around, took more pictures with cosplayers (which I should probably specify, there were so many from Genshin, so many people just wearing UA’s PE uniform from My Hero Academia, a ton of black guys being lazy and just wearing Akatsuki cloaks, a bunch of Mitsuru from Demon Slayer, a ton of Miruko, I’d say about 25-30 percent of the people there were cosplaying, which I definitely need to do.

Anyway, the last thing I went to was a panel explaining what Genshin Impact is and what the world’s about, which is why I started playing it on Monday. Very fun weekend, and I might go to more cons, it just depends on location, if there’s a Smash or FGC major as well as the panels, as I spent way too much time listening and doing karaoke last weekend.
