Mini A-Kon

Went to a free Anime Convention here in Denton, and even though it was really small 
& there wasn't much going on, I had SO much fun! 
^-^ 
Soul from SoulEater
There was a lot of fan art ranging from Elementary school to High School



It was real great being able to see all the Voice Actors,
They seemed to be having tons of fun.


                          
                                         From L-R: Jad Saxton, Sonny Strait, Cherami Leigh, Alexis Tipton, Micah Solusod 
But my favorite part about the whole event, was being able to meet all the Voice Actors

Bruce Elliott was hilarious, & not till today did I really know who he was. 
BUT!! When I found out that he voiced Richard Moore from CasedClosed,
 I flipped out!!
>.<

Alexis Tipton was very bubbly and humorous & had an adorable voice, including musically.
"Sexi Lexi" has lent her voice to countless cutesy characters like ChibiJapan & Kumajiro, 
as well as the creepy and psychotic Young Queen Victoria from Kuroshitsuji!


Sonny Strait was a lot of fun and I was so excited to meet this legend!!
As well as 100s of other masterpieces, he voiced
 Krillin from DragonBallZ & Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist!

Cherami Leigh was so sweet and (Ha!) only a bit taller than me! ^-^
Not including her film work, this beauty has played characters like 
Elicia from FMA:Brotherhood & Patty from SoulEater!

   
Micah Solusod always had something funny to say, & he loved to make fun of himself!
His best known role is Soul from SoulEater but a couple of personal favorites include
 Subaru and Kamui from CLAMP's Tsubasa: Tokyo Revelations!

Jad Saxton (pronounced "Jade") was really sweet and kind, yet timid.
It was her first time as a guest at any convention, & it was surprisingly easy to talk to her. 
To think that I'd be able to find the amazing Voice Actress who portrayed Jacquline in SoulEater on Facebook and able to talk freely to her about Harry Potter & Anime!!
(No Way! O.o)
I can't wait till the next time I see her, she just seems like such a cool person!

Invader Zim

All in all, Mini A-Kon- my first con of 2012- was such a fun experience! 
I can't believe I got so much out of this free convention!
I'm so excited for more great things to happen throughout the rest of the year;
till then, I plan on working on building relationships and networking so that, one day,
I'LL be an invited guest to such an event!!
^o^
