Animeland Wasabi had me pumped from the previous day and I could not wait to get my day started the next day. It was going to be a great day with an interview with a great game designer, walking around with other media friends, attending panels, and ending the day with a press conference with guests of the convention.
Saturday morning I had an interview with game designer, Eric Wile. I was not able to attend the Futurama panel with John DiMaggio and Billy West but it was well worth it to be able to sit down with a great game designer. This was a joint interview and I did the interview with another media site, Anime Pulse. It was awesome because most questions we asked were different so the whole interview flowed great. Eric had some great things to say in general about designing games and also the future technology with gaming and what his aspirations are for the future of gaming. Please stay tuned for our audio on this interview.
After the interview I went and walked around the Dealer room some more and met up with my friends from Girls of Geek12 again. We also met up with our friends Josh and Katie from Points of Interest Podcasting network. We walked around and checked out all the weapons and toys again of course. I also stopped by the Colorado Movie Cars table again and picked up some of their awesome posters and a License plate. Another amazing booth was a corset/costuming booth and she made the most amazing costumes. They are more expensive, but worth every penny in my eyes. There were several costumes such as Assasins Creed and a Tardis Costume. I also stopped by DiMaggio's and West's table to get some autographs. Both men were some of the nicest men I had ever met and I thoroughly enjoyed talking with both of them. Later on in the evening I also got to take a photo with them in the photo booth. After enjoying some more time in the dealer room it was time to head to the costume contest.
The Costumes throughout the con and the props for the con were some of the most unique and creative costumes I had seen in a while. Just about every costume was home made by the person wearing it, and the creativity got more and more astounding by the minute. The judges for the contest were: cosplay guests Nicole Marie Jean, Destiny Nickelsen, Electric Lady, and costume designer Tanglwyst De Holloway. The host of the costume contest was geek comedian, Karl “Uncle Yo” Kuster, Jr. He kept the crowd going and was a good choice for hosting the contest, and did a goof job with throwing some comedy in here and there. There were several impressive costumes and the people in the contest also did skits out on the stage. The costume you see is one of the costumes that won the contest. The girls felt like this person did an excellent job with every little detail. There were several different categories for the contest and several different winners. After the contest I headed to the photo booth to take a Futurama Group photo with Billy West and John DiMaggio. It was a pleasure seeing and talking with them both again and I hope to run into them at a con again someday soon in the future.
To wrap the night up we had a press conference with some of the other guests. There were five guests total in the press conference. It was great to see some other guests that really made Animeland happen. Each of the guests played a major role in making Animeland happen and it was great to see and hear every one of them talk about their past, present, and future endeavors. They all had great advice to give about future goals for any one in the entertainment World. To end off the night it was dinner as usual at the hotel. I did not attend the rave from it being such a long day but I had friends from other media sites that went and said it was a great time. Overall it was a great day just like any other con that I thoroughly enjoy. And as always, Animeland left me pumped for the next and final day.
