Photo evidence!

shirenomadI'm overdue to put these up, but here's some of the fun scenes from AX:
The sign says "Lindblum Castle or Bust" in case you're having trouble reading it. Looks like Eiko hit a growth spurt. (Or Garnet shrunk. One of those.)
Here's the duct tape dress I mentioned in last week's report. I still can't remember where the character is from, though.
Okay, Team 8, I'll give points for your bravery, but that's friggin' Orochimaru. The third Hokage himself only got a Pyrrhic victory against him. And Hinata, if you get killed, Naruto will probably cry. You don't want Naruto to cry, do you?
Hard to tell from this photo, but the Major's costume lights up. Also bonus points for the tachikoma.
Did you really think I'd let her slip by without a photo?
Midvalley rocks out with the Phantom. Yes, they were really playing those saxes, to the entertainment of all. No, I don't know why the Hamburglar was with them.
This was one of two Paine costumes with some really incredible craftsmanship.
Someone's been reading their VG Cats. Or maybe VG Cats stole the idea from them; not sure.
While waiting in line, Cloud and Barret get into a tense argument over who had the bigger weapon, which finally boils over. Vash in the back totally fails at being loving or peaceful when he cheers them on.
Don't get seated behind one of these guys at a show.
Holy giant mecha, Batman!
With the ridiculous food prices at the convention, some survivalists resort to other sources of nourishment.
I blame her for my empty wallet. The vendors had nothing to do with it.
I think all of Soul Society must have been invited. You couldn't go anywhere in the convention center without tripping over a shinigami; here's but one of many groups. My favorite was a very in-character Yachiru who was bouncing around and hugging anyone who asked, but sadly I was in a hurry to get somewhere at the time and never got a photo of her in particular (or that hug).
Also in force were the Amestris military. (I discovered later that this was likely because someone in the vendor area was selling complete uniforms.) This soldier, unfortunately, has hit on hard times; for those who can't read his sign, it says "Mustang burned my pants." Such a bummer when that happens.
And for no apparent reason, there were about 20 Chiis and Freyas wandering around. (Love the dress on this one.) Unlike Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist, Chobits isn't what I'd call huge right now, so I don't know what triggered the wave of them.
