Due to lack of space, I've only brought one #cosplay for this weekend, Student Council President Miyuki Shirogane (confession ver.) from #KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar.

I've been rewatching parts of the recent aired movie (The First Kiss That Never Ends) over the past week, here's the ED for it:

So it's quite funny that the ED's theme is of Kaguya-sama missing Shirogane, who is moving to America to study at Stanford. The very end depicts Kaguya getting off a plane, with a hint of it being California and specifically SFO Terminal 2, where Shirogane is waiting for her.

I happen to be flying out of that same # no SFO terminal today to attend an #AnimeCon. I wonder what time Kaguya's flight arrives lol. (Does this technically count as an otaku pilgrimage? It's only 20 mins from my house tho.)

#KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar

#HotPot and unlimited milk tea with some new friends (and some old) as my last proper meal before con: great

Double jeopardy with spicy food and lactose consumption right before I have to go to sleep at 01:30 to wake up for a 09:00 shift: not so great

But I'm sure there will be worse decisions made at #SakuraCon2023. Just ask my wallet. πŸ˜…

Couple things that happened on my flight to Seattle. Didn't get to see my house from above, we turned too steeply, but I did get to see the site of the last #AnimeCon I visited, #CarrierCon last month on the #USSHornet museum. Being a ship, it's pretty easy to spot from the air.
Second, I remembered 30 mins prior to landing that I had a #gatchapon from #KuraSushi in my bag I've been meaning to build. This turned out to be not so bright of an idea, with a few close calls losing some pieces, but I managed to finish the piece right after we landed and before we reached the gate.  And apparently it came with plenty of extra pieces left over.
