The second annual Soycon is coming up (before that it was called the "ACen Aftermath" I believe). I'm positive that I can make it this year since I don't have a job to hinder me (which reminds me... I need to start applying to places again). The only problem is, I need a ride for Sunday to go to the picnic area (which is in the 'burbs) since all of my friends who are into anime are either car-less or busy (usually due to jobs... which I don't have) or smuggling fireworks from across the border.

Anyway, for this meet-up, I am planning to cosplay a casual (actually her real attire is pretty simple but...) Seychelles from APH. Big problem though: I need a tan for her. I also fcked up my bangs the other day by manhandling my hair with a pairing of cutting scissors. However, I am determined to fix it with the help of a gallon of hair gel.

For the tanning thing, I found some tanning gel that will tan me gradually and if that doesn't work then I'll roll in a pile of make-up or soak myself in a tub of orange juice. Phil-san's sister also suggested a tanning bed ($5 for first-timers)... it was tempting but I don't want to be tan forever... nor do I want skin cancer >_>

I wanted to cosplay Taiwan but that will require a lot more work. I'm saving her for another time.

This year's Taste of Chicago will be awesome because Ne-yo is performing (and so is a lot of other artists too). He will be there on July 1 at 5:30 on some stage in Grand Park... I'll find it.

This is exciting. I think Kanye came last year or something and so did John Mayer or Jason Mraz... well, it doesn't matter since I didn't go anyway.

I will not waste my money at the taste this year.

This are the fan-clubs I'm part of but I totally forgot about them:



Yes... I should join more clubs...
