Yaoi Con 2007, Day Two
Posted by rdsolange under: in person event; life or something like it; yaoicon07 .
We’ve almost made it through the second day of Yaoi Con. At this moment, there are around 9 people in my hotel room, I’m not sure who everyone is, but that’s ok. So, what happened today I hear you ask. I’m glad you did, let me share.
Today started with some panels. I attended two of several on various topics, both panels I went to were very good. I’ve also met up with some authors and publishers. I had the honor of meeting Jet Mykles and James Buchanan, Kiriko Moth (who does all the artwork for Anne Summerville’s site), Katherine Tag and Ann Harris who sometimes writes as Jessica Freely.
I’ve also seen more of these amazing cosplayers. The amount of time these people spend on their costumes making sure every detail is right is inspiring. I have a huge admiration for their craft.
In the dealer rooms and on the floors outside the panels.
This! Is! a Spartan Cosplayer!
I can’t even imagine what the people who are staying at the hotel on vacation must think of everyone.
I put a handful of our book release announcements out and they were gone after a few hours. 
I’ll put out a new batch tomorrow.
YaoiCon has what’s called a Bishie Auction where boys put on their costumes and do little songs or play action things to try and win the hearts and pocketbooks of the ladies and gentlemen present. This was our auction number.
A little doll that sat on his owner’s lap the whole night.
I apologize in advance for the crapfest that is these pictures. But we were a ways away.
Boy’s dueling.
The woman standing up is the one who eventually purchased the boy on stage for over a thousand dollars.
Ritsuka from Loveless singing a little song.
Oh, the boy touching that goes on here…
And that’s about it for tonight. It’s past 1am and I need sleep.
More tomorrow!
