Technically I'm a lurker since I don't post much anymore though!
Anyway... I paid $100 for the Premier badge this year and despite not utilizing it to the full potential (Didn't bother picking up a concert ticket even tho it was free and i could have sold it, oops + arriving too late to make use of the early dealers hall hour on thursday) it was still worth the extra money based on the fact that you don't have to sit out on day 0 or day 1 for hours to pick up badges. Also helped a ton since it got me into some panels at the last minute.
Thing is, it's way too expensive for AX14 even if they open up more premiers, $175 is pretty ridiculous. Panels weren't THAT interesting (recycled material, meh guests. movie screenings ok i suppose.) so having one only really gave me an excuse to attend them. I'm just gonna pay $45 early for a regular pass and try and get a hookup on a press/industry badge sometime within the year :V

I guess this sort of goes without saying but:
Thanks for all of you Momoka cosplayers that made it. The rewards for contributing to this part of the Fakku fandom are a little obscure, but your very existence really makes the con for me as a fellow Momoka. (IT'S A LONELY EXISTENCE GODDAMNIT)
I feel really doofy not getting all of your names, but I know your faces. It was a lot of fun hanging out, especially at the pre-panel at Hentai Worth Watching, stealing Fappachinos and all.

Panels were cool again this year, though I would like to see one in it's entirety rather than have time run out like always.
I remember the line for Fakku Q&A, I got there like a hour a 15 minutes before. One of the staff actually told us to come back 30 minutes before the panel started. I stayed there with some other guys and somehow ended up first in line.

The con was great fun, but there were several things that weren't so "groovy" as the flower generation would say. The first is that the hotel we managed to get lodged in was some shit straight out of Indiana Jones. The second was the ridiculous lines that were bottlenecked because of poor staffing practices, hence denying many from actually getting in on time for some panels. Those are my main two complaints and neither of those were fault of anybody here.It was nice to meet some of the other users. You know which ones you were.
So good to see a non-lurker posting here again xD
But yeah, great time was had when you take out the staffing problems.
It was great hanging out with you all and the con was still a blast.

Loot from AX13
Spoiler:

The game room... Holy shit. I spent 80% of the whole AX there playing StarCraft and Counter Strike 1.6. Going against Asians at SC was quite fun.

It was kind of weird. I'm not sure what specs they were running, but for some reason, they only had sc:bw and cs 1.6

AX was great fun! Getting to have both Looky and kgods with myself and zombie was awesome!
I think the best of my loot includes hard copies of Going Bareback inside my sister and my sisters friend and Saori and Me, plus the Sena Kashiwazaki figure I got. I also got to try Tentacle Grape and Skal for the first time, both of which tasted amazing.
Also managed to buy 4 anime series I wanted(Another, AnoNatsu, Oreimo s1 and Dusk Maiden of Amnesia)
I also won some stuff from Sentai Filmworks, including Kill Me Baby on DVD!

It was like a massive call back to vets. Oh gods the nostalgia. The game room had the cosplay photo shoot props too, i.e. Cherry blossom trees, classroom set up and like three more. It also had more consoles for simultaneous gaming unlike the previous years. I must say, Id come back to AX for more Gaming.

had a blast at AX2013 but when I got home I realized I only went to hentai panels.......best AX ever!!!!
also no matter how many times I go to the FAKKU Q&A I always have a blast and the people you meet in line are always great and friendly.

This was my first con ever. Always wanted to go since I was younger and if I can afford to I'll definitely go again in the future. I didn't get to talk to a bunch of other con goers mainly because I was there with my gf and we had a strict schedule to attend to AND we posed for pictures for people for what seemed like every few seconds at times, so we had our hands full.
You might recognize us as the Deadpool x Momoka couple, if you see our pictures scattered across the interbutts.
Those I did get to meet or give a shout out to, keep on the good fight!
Australia Man, Cookie Monster, Horse mask with panties on head... Oh! And Bromoka that sat next to us and grabbed the fappuccino!!!
