Nabeshin & Animinneapolis: Anime & Conventions

In 2012 I forgot to write that at Animinneapolis I hung out a lot with my afro idol, Nabeshin. On the first panel he had on Friday, I was there. What it was about, we didn't really discuss. It was more of an open discussion panel. In the end, most of the people who go to the con are white, and Nabeshin brags about his afro powers, so they have a lot of afro related questions because they don't ask their afro'd friends apparently. So he's going on about "Have you ever seen an afro bigger than mine?" And I go hells yeah! In my family, but in Japanese and he's like "get rid of that relative. Behead them or shave them." And on and on like that for a while. Then Afterwards he says something I can't quite remember and he goes "after this I want a hug!" and I was already ready to run up there at that moment. Then after the panel is over, because I had ripped off my blue wig during the panel to reveal my identity (he went "AH!" When he saw me and my fro, so I suppose he remembered me which is why he wanted the hug.) I ran up there, pushing my friend Littlewolf out of the way, and all but hopping over the table to hug him. But since he was going around the side, I ran over and gave him a huge tight hug, which he did the same. He actually practically picked me up when he spun me around the room for about five minutes. Then he rubbed my afro and I to his. It was magical. Then we took a picture together (I asked in Japanese) and it was awesome. Everyone else afterwards got a not so magical or awesome hug. Not anywhere near close. OMGS! <3<3 He's so wonderful, poor guy was dead tired that whole weekend. But he still puts in the energy for us. So glad he remembered me since we last met, 1.5-2.5 years ago. And that was the beginning of the best Nabeshin con ever. Other things happened that he asked us not to talk about in other panels, but he always shows up at the rave and participates. Also his favorite words is "mogi" or "moshi" I am pretty sure it is a breast sound effect. He's freaking awesome.

Thanks for reading, bye bye.
