Titanic and The Bodies Exhibit at Atlantic Station
On April 29th, my mom, cousin, and I went to Atlantic Station in Atlanta in order to go see the Titanic and The Bodies exhibits. We found, though, that this would be more complicated than we first thought due to trouble finding parking, massive amounts of people stepping out in front of us as we were driving, and many other things. It was truly an adventure to behold.
Upon arriving in the area of Atlantic Station, we found it quite difficult to find the exact road which we needed to turn on, therefore we ended up turning on some random road that was near where we needed to be but led us further down from where we had to be. And parking was atrocious. We ended up parking on the street, and even though we got a decent space, it was still a fifteen minute walk to where we needed to be.
Well, that fifteen minute walk ended up taking an hour because the place where the exhibits were hosted at was very hard to find. It was literally hidden. And by the time we got there, it was an hour and a half until they closed and they weren't selling combo tickets anymore, so my mom decided (with my cousin and I also in agreement) that it would be pointless and a waste of money to only see one of the exhibits and have to go home.
So basically all we did was walk around like tourists and go to H&M to look at clothes (and my cousin bought a bracelet). At least we saved money, right? It would've cost us all about $40 a piece for the combo tickets and we ended up only spending about $5 at H&M (plus parking). I guess you could say, "a penny saved is a penny earned." (But we sure did waste a lot of gas...).

Favorite moment(s) of 2011
To be completely honest, I can only think of one favorite moment during 2011 at the moment. This single favorite moment of this year was the last weekend of September. For the first time in my life, I was able to attend an anime convention. The anime convention that I went to is called Anime Weekend Atlanta and featured the bands Moon Stream and The Suzan, as well as voice actors and others in the anime/manga industry.
Moon Stream is a project of Satsuki (ex Rentrer en Soi), with Tomo Asaha (guitar), Ena (bass), and U-ya (drums). To be honest, I hadn't listened to any of Satsuki's music prior to hearing of Moon Stream, but I have started listening to his music recently. But, I did however already know of Tomo through another of his bands, Echostream, in the New York area, and also through Facebook. As far as The Suzan goes, I haven't listened to them at all, although I did recognize one of their songs from a Verizon commercial.
I went to two panels during Anime Weekend Atlanta: the Moon Stream panel and the Gundam panel. During the Gundam panel, I met an awesome person, and he asked me what my favorite series of the Gundam anime I liked best, to which I said "Gundam Wing." Unfortunately, I discovered during the panel that Gundam Wing has a very "bad rap," as it seemed to be one of the most hated of the multiple Gundam series in existence. Needless to say, after I learned how much Gundam Wing was hated at the panel, I kept my love for Gundam Wing quiet.
After the Gundam panel was the Moon Stream panel, which was extremely hilarious despite most of the band knowing very little English. I think the most epic part of the panel was when someone asked the members what their favorite type of music was. U-ya practically "stole the show" by replying with, "SEXY DANCE MUSIC!!! Oontz oontz oontz oontz..." Needless to say, everyone was practically rolling in the floor laughing.
All in all, I had a most excellent time at Anime Weekend Atlanta, and so did my mom (although she thought a lot of it was weird). I'm excited and can't wait for AWA 2012 in September! I hope to be able to take more pictures (and in a better quality), too!
My pictures from AWA 2011 can be viewed and purchased at: My deviantART (They are also featured in the AWA group.).
Thanks for reading and don't forget to leave a comment! (Constructive criticism is ok, just don't be a jerk.) Thanks! :)
