Anime Weekend Atlanta 10 took place during the month of September in 2004. It was my first Anime Convention, and quite frankly, I set the bar pretty high. AWA was an amazing convention! It had an impressive list of activities, a great gamers room, and the dealers room was head-spinning. Just the hotel was incredible (as you'll see from all the pictures). Strap yourself in and take a look at the marvelous whirlwind that was AWA 10.


The Hotel!

This hotel was amazing! I was very happy to see that we got our money's worth with this. Now remember, MM just got this camera, so many of the pictures are out of focus -.-

Plus beds!
Cool view!

Look! It's a building!
I'll kill you for this...
We're on the second to top floor!
Don't look down...
We're taking advantage of the desk.
Enh...why'd we take this picture?
Great view of Atlanta
Here's the inside lobby from ground level.
But, Mom! The chandelier's not in costume!
They're preparing for the invasion.
The hotel had it's own mall!
And check out the prom dresses...
Man...if all hotels were like this, I'd vacation more.

Here's a shot from the elivator.
Ohh...Invisible Ninja treats...
A pic of my Twin's hotel room...My God, how much stuff did you guys bring?
Heh...

Dealer's Room

Whohoo! Dealer's room! I've never seen so much anime paraphernalia in one room at one time!

I just had to get a picture of this guys shirt.
Corsets? Enh...no thanks.
Wall scrolls, and box sets, and stickers. Oh my!
Holy...
This would've been a shot of anime figures if someone hadn't shoved me...
Two of the hottest wall scrolls I'd seen that were non-anime

Cosplayers!

OMG! These people were so cool! I wish I could've cosplayed, but there was no way I would've had a costume ready in time. But you can still check out all the cool cosplayers that I happened to catch!

Did you know there's a car named after you?
I've no idea who these two were, but they were far too good to just pass by.
Nurato freaks! Whohoo!
Here we have one red mage from Final Fantasy XI.
Wow. Huge group of Nurato freaks....I hope they don't mind that I'm calling them 'Nurato Freaks'.
Aeris!
It's PikaBell!
There were a lot of Nurato freaks this year...
wow...that costume took a lot of guts.
Innuyasha!
Once again, too good to pass up.
I think this is from Pilot Canadate...
Tsukasa in a tux...but his eyes are closed....grr
Awww, Tuxedo Mask and Princess Serenity!
Don't know, don't ask.
Sesshomaru!

Last Year's Cosplay Winners' Costumes

Here's last year's Coplay Costume Winners.

Ohhh, pretty.
Is that a Utena costume?
Hmm...
Hmmmmm...

Uh-huh...

Uh, did I see this one at a Birthday party last year?
......
Yikes...
Uh...is this a muppet?
Is that an invisible ninja costume?

Now, you may be saying to yourself, "Well, that's all nice, MM. But what did you get from this experience?"

Believe me, I made out OK ^_____^
