My Anime Midwest Weekend

Hey Everybody,

I want to say that Anime Midwest was AMAZING!!  I can't believe how much fun I had.  I went with my friend, and I didn't want the weekend to end.  I went to many panels (mostly those held by Doug Walker and Channel Awesome).

First of all, I had to get to each of Doug's panels an hour before the panel even started (at least).  There was still a line even when I was early.  However, I would still sneak into a chair near the front of the room.  I went to one of his panels called, "Movies Everybody Disagrees with You On."  I was in the front row.  At the panel, Doug and Rob Walker, The Last Angry Nerd, Orlando (the guy who played the villain in Suburban Knights"), and Malcolm were all there.  They picked me to say what movie I didn't like but everyone else does.  I told them I hated "The Dark Knight Rises." Oh, I really do.  I guess I will do a blog on why I am not a fan of that film soon.

Here is where the panel became even more awesome.  Doug jumped out of his seat, run up to me, and gave me a fist pump.  It turned out he hated it as much as I did.  It was so awesome! I couldn't believe I was getting a fist bump from Doug Walker.  I will never forget that moment.  I even got all of their autographs.  Doug and Rob were nice enough to sign my copy of "Avatar The Last Airbender: The Promise" (which is really good and I suggest you all read it). 

I also got to meet Spike Spence (voice of Shinji Ikari from "Neon Genesis: Evangelion."  He gave my friend and I big hugs.  He was so cool!  Also, I got something better than an autograph.  :)

I also juts got into watching Hetalia, which is so freaking hilarious.  I got a wallet and a bag.  THEY'RE AWESOME!

My "Bad Fanfiction" panel was great!  I expected only 30-40 people to come since it was from 10pm-12am.  When my friend (who came to host the panel with me) and I arrived the line was so long.  My friend was freaking out.  I kept telling here to chill out, but I was honestly scared too!  I would have to say that more than 50 people came to the event.  People were laughing out of their seats.  One girl came up to us at then end and told us that we had her grandma crying so hard from laughing.  We were so happy that everyone thought the panel was funny.  I hope that I can do it again for next year. 

This convention was awesome!  I would really like to go back next year!  Thanks for reading guys!  Until next time!
