Phoenix and Las Vegas with Fred – Day 4

2004, Vacations, , , , , ,

We spent the next morning by the pool. This is me before we found a place to sit, in my sundress and hat.

The view from our hotel room was wonderful.

After the pool and showers, we spent the evening at the Star Trek Experience thing–first we ate in the themed restaurant, Quark’s. (I had a hamborger. With no borg.)

The Iron Skillet Restaurant (another “historic Fred place”), where Fred took me for lunch on our way driving to Las Vegas!

This is me in the hotel room at our Vegas hotel, the Mirage. Don’t I look like I’m trying to be a movie star or something? I was just wearing that cape thing because I was freezing.

After seeing Penn & Teller that night, Fred crashed pretty hard. I thought it was funny so I snapped it.

We decided to go to Sedona on my second day in Phoenix. Halfway there we stopped at this “historical Fred place”: The Coffee Pot Restaurant, where they have omelets you can order by the number!

Costume Day at JACON!

2004, Cosplay, Vacations, ,

Jeaux and I went to JACON as Sae Sawanoguchi and Takeo Takakura from the anime Maho Tsukai TAI!. My first time doing a lot of sewing for a costume and I definitely hate it. We entered the costume contest but didn’t win anything (and didn’t expect to). Here are our costumes. A bunch of the other ones we saw at the con can be seen at the photo album for this convention.

We also went to a nerdy music performance after we got out of our costumes and enjoyed the band playing video game stuff. I even danced.
