On Sunday Cookies, Twiggy, Gandhi and I went to Supanova. Woo!!! check Cookies' blog for most of the photos =]
We got there at about 9:30 to find an already fast growing line! But luckily, the line was for people who had pre-registered, and the line for people who wanted to buy tickets at the door was a lot shorter... when we got there. Then it grew to epic proportions after =O
We spent most of the day taking photos of all the crazy costumes that people had made/bought, looking at the various merchandise stalls, playing COD 4 (well my bro did), and then towards the end of the day sitting tiredly on the second level of The Dome.
Eventually, Rachelle Lefevre stopped talking, and the Cosplay comp/skits started. Some of the skits were pretty good... some were not so good. There'll probably be vids up on youtube eventually. From where we were sitting, we couldn't see very much of it.
Lastly, we went for the Karaoke comp. I hadn't practiced at all, and just joined on a whim. I sang Aozora no Namida by Hitomi Takahashi, a song that is way out of my range. Cookies hadn't practiced since Animania, and sung Sousei no Aquarion. Gandhi had practiced a lot, and sung Hana by Orange Range. there were like... 7 singers.
Cookies came first (yay!) and Gandhi came second. Pretty awesome, guys ^^
For the trip home, it's a rather complicated process of getting from Sydney Olympic Park to the Western suburbs =/ By public transport, it's train, train (or bus if track work is happening), then bus to get home. Gah.
Anyway, travelling home in costume is rather fun, because it attracts a lot of stares from other passengers. Heh. And it also attracts crazy looking dudes who want to tell you their life story.
Well not quite. I dropped a safety pin on the ground, and me, cookies and gandhi spent a good minute looking for it. Then one of the train drivers/station guards came up and found it. Which led us to a convo about his good eyesight, which led to how his eye was crook from working as a welder, then a hand injury then to him working in the public transport industry.
We waited for Cookies' parents to come pick us up from Parra. While we waited we got hungry, so we ended up a Hungry Jack's. Their cheeseburgers have a rubbery texture. Yuck.
Fun day. Yeeeeewwwwww.

Oh wow you guys actually went :P I wanted to come but I'm so short of money that even if I did go there'd be nothing else much I could do.
Is Aozora no Namida out of your range? The highest notes are at the end of the chorus I remember, but I'm sure you could've fudged it haha!
The guests don't seem as interesting this year and judging from your post, that disgusting Naruto (Shippuuden-style) transvestite cosplayer didn't come this year; good riddance!
Actually, Jay, since we only went on Sunday, that Narutard may have come on Saturday...?
I forgot about that station guy... ^^;
It was probably a good thing that you didn't go... the entrance fee was $25 D= And not much that was good was cheap either =[
and it's a little out of my range... and i fudge my way through the entire song.
There was a woman cosplaying as naruto (orange jumpsuit style... gross...)
and yeah... station guy was probably easily forgetable
