Anime St. Louis 2009

Ah, home sweet home? It was so odd returning to St. Louis with my friend Nikolai. I knew I was in my home city, but yet it felt like I hadn't been there. I think it was mainly due to the fact that the convention was held in St. Charles, a city near St. Louis; and I hadn't been to that area much. The convention was held at a new Embassy Suites, which was breath-taking inside. I hope they have the con here again next year!

Yes, even Alucard has to wait in the Pre-Reg line. And the Hellsing characters continue with Seras Victoria. Oh, and with her was this British guy getting signatures on his upper body from everyone at the con.
Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia Three Wolfwoods?! And they can perform jutsu?!?!
While waiting for "Iron Artist" to begin, a Chouji cosplayer stands up and casually chats with the small audience in the room. Mike McFarland (Roy Mustang), armed with extension cords, ready to strike that British fanboy who just chased him around the table!
Various fans and guests participate in
"Anime Hollywood Squares."
And there's Nikolai again, in contestant's row!
A look up at the floors and elevators of
Embasssy Suites. Wow...
Drill to the heavens!
One of three astonishing elevators at the hotel.
Am I privileged enough to ride this?
A fountain in the courtyard area of the hotel.
Lovely pools stairstepping down along the stairs. The waterfalls on the lower level, nicely lit.
