Renee's Comments:I loved AWA, despite all the troubles we had getting there, banding together, paying and all that other good stuff. There were a lot of trials to deal with before the convention itself, but we all made it through and I, for one, enjoyed myself immensely.
I can't even begin to say how happy I was when I first saw Iia on Friday morning, or how happy I was when Kairi's mom was calling me Renee and going on about how much Kairi was smiling when Iia and I came over to see her at her suite and got her ready to dress up as Itachi. It was like talking to them online was no different from seeing them in person-- accept this way, I could physically hug them.
And Trusty was so cute and sweet! I didn't get to see her very much (just for a short time before the cosplay competition in the food court before I went to play photographer), but it was well worth it.
I can't wait to go again next year. <3
Kairi's Comments:Best time of my life. *-* Seriously. It SUCKED that I got sick Thursday night, though, and had to miss out on Friday morning. I forced myself to get better, though. xD; And omgaaaahhhh~ Meeting Renee was just awesome. <333 Trusty, too, even though we hardly spent any time with her. i____i

Iia's Comments:I don't think my first con could have done much better.
Yes, I lost my camera, and all the pictures and vids, and I could have done a few things different. I learned a LOT, and next con will be even better!
AWA was...well, amazing! I was really surprised at how many Karin fans there were! I was expecting at least some harsh comment or whatnot, but all I got were great memories! Staying with Kairi was the coolest, and meeting Renee and Trusty was a dream come true! I truely wish I had more time with them. (You know how I'd like to take some crack photos!) And meeting Alyson, Randi, Michele, and many of the other con-go-ers was a wonderful treat! I only wish there were other Hebi members...
Sure, there were a handful of downs, but I've never experienced anything like AWA, and I hope and pray that I can jump on the con bandwagon and go back to Atlanta for AWA next year. <3
Trusty's Comments:This past weekend.
