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 -.-

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.

bring?

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.

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