El Paso Winter Con!

On Saturday December 10, 2011, El Paso Texas my home city had there very own Winter Con for the third year. I bought my ticket in advence for about $15 and awaited the day. The Winter Con began at 10 am which was a little tiring seeing as I wanted to sleep in but none the less I got up. I have a dear friend, Carina who like me is in love with Japan come with me. I wore my Yukata that I bought on the Link to the left Yukata Kimono Sakura Market (They have awesome Yukatas and Kimonos). The Winter Con was hosted in the Camino Real which seemed like a worthy place for all the action we would take part in. Instead of waitin in line (We picked up our badges early), we ran up stairs to the artists alley. There were tons of plushies and cool anime art. I saw this one picture I wanted that had a sketch of Sora and Roxas side by side which was so coll but sadly I couldnt buy it. This one table had a knitted stuffed Totoro which I really wanted but it was $40. Maybe next time.:( We decided to go to the Got Bento! Panel first which explained the basics of how to make Bentos which was neat. Next we went to see if my brother, Luis and I registered for the Street Fighter IV and Mortal Combat 9 tournament correctly which we did the night before. We hoped from room to room looking at panels and then back to the alley to see potential stuff we could by. My brother saw this Hearless hat that was so cool but was $20. We had the money but it was either the hat or dinner, we decided dinner at first. We walked around and bought some cool stuff while we waited for the tournament. WHen it began I watched my brother who lost in the first round, I did to but almost beat my opponent. Next we fought in Mortal Combat 9 which we epic failed at because the controls seemed hard. After that we decided to get the hat which was a heartless for my brother. To end our fabulous day we ate out at mine and my friend Carina's favorite Japanese restraurant, Matsuharu. This time instead of Ramen I ate Chicken Katsu which was superb. Ah, I cannot wait till the Las Cruces, New Mexico Anime Days which is two days long. I hope you El Pasoans went because it was a blast.
