New Cels, Yasumicon, and a Hurricane

Ive been on vacation since Thursday...
I came to Miami to go to Yasumicon.
I was a bit upset because some auctions I wanted to win were ending soon, but luckily, my hotel has complimentary wireless ^0^
Of 9 auctions, I only won 4 because I tried to snipe them all and they all ended within a minute of each other.
I won 2 Makai Tenshou (Ninja Resurrection), 1 Zenki, and a nice cel of Gaav holding up a beat up Xellos... I really wanted the Shuten cels though =(
and my bid would have won them too, but the connection was so slow that the auction had already ended.

So tomorrow and earlier today, those nasty Dennis feeder bands slammed into the Miami area. The wind was very strong and there was so much rain blowing sideways. I begged my friend who lives here to stay with me instead of going home, but he insisted he had to leave.. I was worried for him cause the roads would be horrible. The power also went out yesterday. I had no lights, no air, no tv, no internet, no alarm clock until later today.

So today, I went to Yasumicon, a small anime convnetion held on the campus of Florida International University. It was surprisingly crowded !! I thought it would be some lame thing with about 50 people max, but there were hundreds of people and tons were good cosplayers (of course the crap ones too). I had on my Fudomine Uniform shirt (the version minus the team logo) with some white capris (I have the uniform pants but it was too hot for those). Right when I walked in, some girl cried out "OMG ANOTHER TENIPURI COSPLAYER !!"
She made her friend who had on a seigaku jacket take her picture with me eventhough the girl didnt seem to like Fudomine, lol.. I put on my Fudomine uniform jacket with the logo at that point... but, lol, it was like, suddenly I wasnt cosplaying.. I admit, maybe if I had a tennis racket (which I didnt bring one because I underestimated this con), more people would have realized it.
I had asked them about holding a cel forum, but alas, they ignored my request =(
Still, Yasumicon was not a bust.. I enjoyed it and came out with some cheezy domestic-release items (DX Gaara plush, chibi Sasuke keychain, Kenshin figure, Edward Elric figure).

When I got back to the hotel, I turned on the tv to watch the storm..
Yes, it has left this area.. However, if you know me, you may know where I live.
I live in Mobile, Alabama...
Guess where Dennis is heading?

*sigh*
