Alcon is held at De Montfort University in Leicester, so it's quite a trek for us. Regardless, it was amazing. Our Alcon group consisted of:
Pulled up to Anna's fully dressed, hair held back ready for my wig XD Must have looked a little strange for whoever spotted me (My parents are now used to it). Charl was already there, dressed from head to toe in black, and Anna was busy getting her wig on and wig-justing. Then it was soon time to go.
When we reached the Uni we did our usual 'SPOT THE FIRST COSPLAYER!' This officially starts the con. Firstly we spotted Air Gear, and did our usual STFC squee. But then we saw an Axel and a Roxas (They were holding hands) and regardless of the driver and her companion we screamed. (Best start to a con ever).
Of course we got lost and had to be lead to the front desk by a bloke who worked there... but ah well. We got our wrist bands, squealing when we got our Alcon goodie-bags. Then we were off to the main building, pouring over the work in artists-alley, making some great friends and meeting some amazing people.

We had a talk with Caitlin Glass - Voice of Haruhi in Ouran, Princess Vivi in Once Piece and Deneva in Claymore (sadly didn't get her signature). We then left to catch a wig tutorial with none other than
We then retired from the con to a courtyard where the cosplayers had seemed to have converged upon. We ate and sat in the wind (which was rediculously strong I might add). We then met:
All of thse guys I've been chatting to since, so I can't wait to bump into them again at our next shared con. Should be good to see them again XD.
All in all it was an amazing con. My con book has taken up more pages this time than it ever has before. I got Twinfool's autograph, I got the con-badge which shall last me forever and some amazing pictures. Anna got to meet her idol, Charlotte got to buy a million posters and I got watch the look on my girlfriends face as her birthday present put his arm around her.
Alcon was amazing. Met some amazing people and did some amazing things. I loved our cosplays and I hope to see everyone again next year!!!
(P.S, also the best 9 months so far in my life. Great to share a month-a-versary with
