Wow Mari seems to like flying back and forth to Japan quite frequently. Wasn't she just in LA doing a show at Benihana or something?

Well guys, just got back and am currently trying my darndest to stay awake until I head off to the Mari Iijima concert in a couple of hours.

So how was the all-night Macross Night? I didnt go in expecting all that much but goddamn it ROCKED!

Save and I were the only two Macross Worlders representin' at this particular event. It was basically a gathering of Macross fans and cosplayers to mingle, get drunk, groove to some Macross tunes and just celebrate all things Macross.

There were a lot more cosplayers than I had expected and most of them were more than willing to talk about their history with Macross and how they made their costumes. There were a lot of Rankas and Sherryls on stage, dancing along to various Frontier songs, a pair of Minmays and a pair of Basaras, as well as one very special cosplayer who came all the way down from GUNMA! (a 100km+ train ride) after work to rock out as RAY!

Some highlights:

THIS is what happens when you give Ranka beer ^^;

General vibe on the dance floor.

ARRRGH! Get the mic away from Gamlin!

SAVE is a little wary of strange manthing Minmay. Is it a trap? (actually ...no, it was actually a girl ^^

But he likes the cute Minmay with the blue contact lenses much better methinks ;-)

Sherryl seems to have misplaced her drinking money.... (This is DJ Sou - she also performs at Yoko Kanno parties dressed as Faye Valentine)

And of course Basara just wants to rock out.

BOMBAAAAAAAAAA!

A great start to the weekend! Got home at about 7:30am. Now, must drink more coffee!

Ahahaha, none that shall ever be posted Im afraid. Pics are one thing, but to me, posting vids of something like this crosses certain privacy boundaries of those involved, sorry.
