You should always go to the events that make you forget to take pictures. Even if I took any Delta H's artist alley is always held in this ballroom venue that creates a "green stink aura" tint upon capture LOL. My only eyeroller is probably the rave that bombs every year because the entire set is always just anime OST back-to-back. Otherwise I only have fond experiences at Delta H.
Strangely I was well-received. I hopped like, 5 different attendee/cosplay masses (many of which I met that weekend) and on the last day a piece of the con adopted me and they brought me to Chinatown (for some reason I always end up there.) I couldn't stop swiveling my head when people approached me. I thought I was gonna lose my breath haha.
After retreating to Dim Sum, we knocked out every UFO catcher arcade in the outlet. I didn't expect to get lucky with the crane but we won a nice handful of dolls.
I didn't cosplay at all. Instead I took ragdoll Norton Campbell out for the entire weekend trip. Of course I matched my lanyard with him.
I finished off Delta H Con's final festivities off a mini photoshoot. After raiding the cranes we passed around the shopping cart (call that a cart rotation).

This month I'm in a sweet spot financially. Speaking of sweet, I'm exploring sweet ouji; I bought my first salopette, washed it, did a coord-trial. It's the 2018 White Rabbit Salopette from Alice And The Pirates in Gold x Black.
I'm already scouting online to build a sweet wardrobe off this salopette so I can be capable of something like this. When I get some proper wristcuffs and shoewear, I'll take a proper photograph.

People-watched at the plaza to some Phatworld and soda in the morning. Accidentally ambushed one of my lolita aquaintances at their workplace and we exchanged messenger handles.
I caught a movie with some friends, got buzzed on mead 'til closing, and we treked around Chinatown watching the UFO arcades flood with nightlifers.

[Writing of 2025/07/07] My first meet-up with ◯◯◯'s local community. I finally decided to show my face because they had planned to celebrate ILD at a skating rink (I've been on inlines since I was 11.)
I thought it was funny that Indian food was suggested right after skating (ILD is held in the Summer too.) I totally felt dehydrated and light-headed after that day. Yes, I had a good time.

[Writing of 2025/07/07] In retrospect this convention was a disaster.
The Identity V meetup made up for the bad stuff. Met people, my friend took the polaroids you see, and I got to show off my homemade Norton Campbell costume. I learned his dance emote just for moments like the ones I had at AF. I also recreated that one meme, and some people shrieked LOL. The Aoba in the back really ties the shot together.
