I've been meaning to post this blog for a while so here goes. This July just gone, I attended Amecon at Warwick University and had one of the best con experiences ever!! Its such a great university campus and an amazing venue for UK conventions. As usual, we traveled up Thursday night, meeting up with everyone at the venue and hanging out in the SU. We always try to go up Thursdays so we're the there and ready to go when the event kicks off on Friday. and already the Overwatch Cosplayers were coming out. Lots of High Nooning was had hahaa!! This got me so excited for wearing Mei!! After the Opening Cermoney we all went for food. The union offers some great Asian food at Bar fusion so we enjoyed some noodles and drinks before getting ready for the evening. Unfortunately, Bulbasaur caught a bit too much sun and so was super red by the end of the day!! XO Friday night was party time! And i had dressed as Party Mei. It also meant YAOI PANEL time, so me and my sister attended that and enjoyed some hilarity and boy love. I loved that Mrs Doyle won one of the Yaoi Panel Games, it was amazing!! After the Yaoi Panel we all met up and went to the Student Union bar for drinks. They had these enormous pints of fruity cocktails that were great hanging around the steps with. We did inevitably stay outside all night as the atmosphere was great and so much cooler than the dance hall - it was July after all *sweats* I loved wearing my Party Mei I really hope I get to wear it again soon :D Saturday kicked off with Cosplay Judging and Bara CafesI went with Morti (who was Kylo Ren) to go to the judging and have my full Mei cosplay judged. It was super nerve wracking but I got through it. Afterwards we went to the Bara Cafe for protein shakes. It was amazing and all the money they made went to charity. After Masquerade rehearsals it was time for the OVERWATCH MEET!! I was so excited. It was my time meeting up with other Overwatch cosplayers and we had a blast. Got so many nice photos taken and we drew quite the crowd. We even got featured in a couple of cosplay music videos!! (Which I'll link below) I did the Masquerade with MiniBullieCosplay (Tracer) and had the greatest time. We rocked that Masquerade cat-walk and got a huge cheer. I had such an amazing experience as Mei that day, one of the best cosplay experiences ever!! and even though the cosplay was not finished, I was proud of what I had made so far. More Partying Saturday night and I joined my Morti as punk Hux and Kylo for rock night. Even though we spent most of the night outside (again) we did actually venture into the party for bit and had some laughs. There were also some great cosplays hanging around. Check out the guy who's twitter!! Sunday was super casualNot a lot really happened on Sunday. We chilled out greatly after the hectic schedule that was Saturday and me and my mate PandafoxCosplay did some casual Mei and D.Va. Yeah we couldn't resit going into the games room to get some gremlin D.Va pics :D But check out the adorable Genji we met, he was super cute! Unfortunately, Sunday night now becomes a blurr. During the Talent Show/Closing Ceremony, one got too drunk and so ended up not taking any pictures of that night >.< All in all Amecon 2016 was one of the best con experiences I've ever had. It was so good, from the panels, to the venue to all the amazing cosplayers. I made so many new friends that weekend and memories I will treasure forever. I cannot wait for Kitacon Quest (2017) to be held there next year and i'm very excited to see what they have in store. My next Cosplay event will be MCM London Comic Con, October 28th-30thAmecon Cosplay Music Videos
