SacAnime 2017

Well, like the last couple of years, SacAnime Winter kicked off my "con" season! As always, it was held in Sacramento, California at the Sacramento Convention Center.

[Day 2 - Hatsune Miku Cosplay]

Day 1 was quite simple for me. I arrived in the afternoon with my partner, aka Agent Afronaut! We just took in the convention. We walked around, we visited some friends, and saw the overview of the whole layout and con.

Day 2 was the day I cosplayed! I took a shot at being Hatsune Miku of Vocaloid again! Since I had only cosplayed her once (last year at Fanime 2016) and it was for a very short-while, I thought I should cosplay her for a full day! 

Ugh!

I had major wig problems that morning! We all know that long synthetic wigs tangle easily, but I had mine well secured during travel. Or so I thought. It was nothing but a mess! I didn't want to waste all morning trying to fix it and what I was doing wasn't really helping. So, I just cut it. #ShortHairDontCare! It is what it is! The show had to go on! So, as you can see in the picture above, I had short hair and just worked it like it was!

I met a lot of really great people while at SacAnime! The friendly environment is my favorite aspect of SacAnime. It's honestly what keeps me coming back! Everyone from the staff, to the vendors and artists, as well as the attendees are just so nice! SacAnime really does create a safe, friendly, and positive environment for fans and nerds!

I was stopped by this adorable girl who was also cosplaying Miku! Of course I had to take a picture with her! How sweet! And she had her wig game straight! LoL!

Day 3 - I didn't cosplay, because I had planned to leave the con a little early to get home before the evening. Well, I'm super glad I didn't! It was a very windy and very rainy day! I'm sure just about anything I would have worn would have been wet and possibly ruined!

We arrived early that day, before the doors of the showroom opened and before any events started! I can't remember the last time we were early for a convention! 

Actually......now that I think about it, we were early on the last day of SDCC 2017. Before that though, I can't remember another time!

As always, my artist-friend, Melody Wang, was in attendance with her new line of merchandise under her new brand name: Morigalaxy! I picked up charms and prints! (I plan to do a SacAnime haul post soon!)

[with a mermaid from Sacramento Mermaids]

I don't know how I didn't see this booth the first 2 days, but I passed it before I left the third day and was able to take a photo with a MERMAID! It was a sponsor for the Sacramento Mermaids company, but I've never had my picture taken with a mermaid at any event before! It was a cool experience and she was super nice!

[with a Hatsune Miku cosplayer]

Well, I took some pictures with cosplayers before heading out. Like I said before, it was a great con! I'm not sure if I'll be back for SacAnime summer, but I'm definitely going to try! If I do go, I hopefully will be cosplaying!

Like I said in my previous post- up next for me is WonderCon in April! I'll see you in Anaheim, California!
