WOW!! Ayacon ROCKED!!! Hmm…lets see, where do i start…
The first thing i saw…a Tonberry on a RC Mini driving around! The con-pack we got when we registered was good (badge and bag/sack were especially cool!). Next was taking photos of all the cosplayers (Cloud one looked cool!), and people actually recognised my Kafra Service T-Shirt!! Yay!
Ok, into the opening ceremony… i have never seen so many anime fans in one place! (approx. 1200 people!) And, of course, the highlights of the opening ceremony was Dokuro-chan “Pipiru piru piru pipiru pi!” 
, and Densha Otoko! Then we all piled out and done some stuff…shopping, more cosplay photos etc.
Then came the karaoke! I would have gone up to sing…but they didn’t have the Popotan opening theme available (man…i so wanted to do the dance for that!). Oh well, it was fun watching other people…the hat guy and girl with him that were hosting the karaoke were surprisingly good at singing! And…i ended up buying Dragon Half on DVD all because of the hilarious attempts by a few people at singing the Opening!
Saturday came…got into my Ky Schweitzer cosplay, went for breakfast…and sat outside the second dealer room for an hour until it opened! I was pretty much mugged into buying a copy of Fusion Black and White by the writer (she was so nice…i would have felt guilty if i’d said no…and she signed it!). Having now read it, i can now say it was worth every penny…and i’m whole heartedly looking forward to Fusion 1 when it comes out!
Then went to the main dealers room, and bought Puni Puni Poemy (impulse buy), a Nausicaa t-shirt, a Kimagure Orange Road t-shirt (this is sooo cool!!! do you have any idea how long i’ve been looking for one of these?!), a full set of Azumanga Daioh plushies, and a host of other stuff. (A very successful morning!)
After that it was on to watch a few panels… I have to say…that guy from ADV was so cool!! It looks like MVM won’t ever release Love Hina Again over here. 
Oh, and who knew there were so many Yaoi fangirls!! (remind me to cosplay Sanzo from Saiyuki at Ame next year!)
Hmm…then it was the pub quiz, we didn’t win, but it was damn funny, all i’m gonna say is: “****licious”. Oh…and there were comments on the Ayacon forums about the team i was on: “stripping off during the quiz was a bit more yaoi than I remember X being” 
One of the best parts of the weekend…the JPop party! Several crazy conga lines, almost getting attacked by the “Will Yaoi for alcohol!” guy, and being glmoped several times during the course of the night! The DJ’s rocked!! (Thankies for playing Tenbatsu! )
Sunday…auction, i so wanted that bedsheet! And who’d have thought that someone would pay £35 for a cardboard box?! Panel quiz rocked (i now know how to play mornington crescent!).
The rest of Sunday was spent at the Blood concert…which was ok’ish, not really my thing. Followed by the incredibly short closing ceremony… “Thanksforcomming,getout!”
After the con was over, a good time was had by all at the gathering place by the steps…people were drunk, trollies were being used, fires were being started (apparantly?)…and then it ended. awwwww.
My favourite pic from the con is this:
My favourite cosplay was this guy as Nurse Witch Komugi:
Does anyone know this guy’s e-mail address? All my other photo’s can be found in the gallery (the photo’s beginning with “600″ i took from other people…thankyou!) I also have several videos, if you want them e-mail me or MSN me, and i’ll send them to you. Also, if for some reason your photo is here, and you wish for it to be removed, please let me know.Wow…i now have well over 100 people on my MSN messenger… (83 people added since Ayacon ended, yay for random MSN adding on the ayacon forums!!)
Final note, this is for the two girls that screamed out “Anime t-shirt!!!” from down the street in Camden when i was walking home from work on Tuesday…that really made my day, i’ve been wearing some of these t-shirts for like a year and a half waiting for someone (anyone!) to recognise one, whoever you two were, thankyou!!
