NYAF - Finished!
Sep. 28th, 2009 11:09 amNow, let me tell you, New York Anime Fest was a blast- And I don't only mean the LARP I was at. At many conventions, you're faced with this issue of getting in to lines, trying to find what panel, or screening, you're going to. Not here, however. There wasn't even a line for the dealers room!
Well, that's because of NYAF's layout. Once the doors open, and you're let in, you're already in the Dealer's Room. To the right of those escalators, before the theatre, was Artist Alley. On the opposite side of the theatre, was the stage used for many of the events. From maids, to more maids, to even more maids, and then even more maids, there was also a Neo-Victorian Fashion show, and Uncle Yo's standup for a little while. If you wanted to beat the crap out of each other, there was a designated zone for that as well. All in all, it was easy to find where you were going, even with everyone sitting around.
LARP, as that was one major reason I was there, was very, very fun. Something that might take a couple more days of sleep to recall completely. Let's just say that it was brilliant chaos. The only gripe I have, isn't with the LARP itself, but the people that had pre-regged and never came to pick up their characters. This is including the Russia, who would've had the most amazing time with the sheet that was written up!
Anyway, before I mentally tear those people apart, I'm going to share how I ended the day. After walking to Penn Station, I apparently crashed from those 5 hour energy drinks (that weren't supposed to end in a crash?,) and fell asleep on the train. Once getting home, when it was around 5:30, I went straight to sleep. About 17 hours later, I'm finally up.
Yes, I count this as a success for a convention.
