Doujin Overload 2008

Oh, dear… I’ve been hacked and denied access for a few weeks. Now that things are setted, I can go about updating this blog. I miss it so much ~_~

I seriously didn’t expect my second semester of 2008 would be so hectic. That, plus the storm and costant rain here in Auckland which caused everything to be so gloomy. The sky is clear as I’m typing this entry, but I can still hear the sky rumbling.

This is a looooong overdue entry about the event I attended on… er… July 27. Yes, so long ago ~_~

The wind was pretty strong that day, and being the idiot that I was, I didn’t bother to check the weather services. It turned out that last Saturday recorded the worse storm in the last decade, which resulted in three deaths and a crap load of damages. But anyway, I went to the event with Mira and Kaara (the latter joined us a bit later) after mine and Mira’s scheduled meeting with our course coordinator, Sheryl. When we reached Mercure Hotel, we were almost frozen.

There were several cosplayers at the entrance; Kuchiki Rukia mulling over her pink handphone got me gigling before I went through the door to see the works on display and on sale by the exhibitor.

Go on reading for random pics and (cosplay) performance videos.

Doujin Overload 2008

Doujin Overload 2008
Date: 26 July 2008
Time: 10.00am - 5.00pm.
Location: Mercure Hotel, 8 Customs Street East, Auckland.

For animanga fans who will be in New Zealand (and most importantly, around Auckland) during this winter break, let’s check out this event together!

A bit too early to announce, but since the registration for DO2008 is now closed, I guess it’s ok to give the announcement ahead of time. I’m glad that it’s held on the 26th. I’ll be able to go and have a look at the exhibition since I’ll be on Winter break then. Customs St East is only about 5 minutes away from my place too. I want to see how this years exhibition goes. Looking at the official site, I saw some awesome names I knew from Deviantart (like Hiyaku-Studio), so I’ll be looking forward to the

Events to look forward to:
- Final Fantasy Piano solo concert (oh, yes! I absolutely must be there!)
- Gundam & Figure exhibition
- Cosplay (so tempting…)
