Coming, driving and parking my type 40 vehicle, on parking curb, that nearby by the main entrance to the Auckland War Memorial Museum… On that clear night but soon to be cloudy morning night expecting rain passing midnight…. walking up to the Domain Mount where the Museum is located in very near Central Business district Auckland, a very cosy neat historically enriched village township of Parnell…
Walking up the Mount, seeing the warmth Ambered light limestone that greeted me also other people, like if it was some lit campfire giving a visual warmth providing with you with company to see the what lies in the very near city landscape the from the Auckland Hospital, Sky tower, to the fairy lights of amber, whited lights of the coastal city, of looking into the into the dark distances of a unphotonic shrouded lit north head also Rangitoto Island..
Armed with a small pack or peanuts M&M’s, smart phone, also Melody’s Sonic, waiting… also arriving early just in case for parking becomes very mall like on pre-Christmas shopping… about least one hour and haft early… seeing that only a minority of people arrived early.. People settling down in their chosen campfire seating’s, a group of children playing awaiting, playing soccer.. Some were among the entrance of the Museum.. Playfully chased screaming by their peers…
During the wait, armed, checking in with in all the various socials.. Seated… Looking at the cars that gradually acuminate also its occupants… seeing the numerous people be seated on the museum steps… waiting for the new year to candlized by its Auckland Ambassador the Auckland Sky Tower in the Northern western distance in a slightly tree view..
Looking in the distance of where, I notice that there was a couple, teenagely adultly young, walking then seated nearby awaiting in both embracing in each other in this moment, also they look like they’ve just got out from the celebrating mosh pit crowd in the city.. Both were dressed in casually formally. She was dress in with a black spaghetti strap sheath mid length dress with long brunette hair.. he was dressed as the raggydoll doctor like, with black pants.. Raggy out white shirt with a very loses tie with David Tennant’s hair…
Noticing then in the distance the, the Sky Tower communications array tower started counting down. Blinking the very few seconds….. Then it sparkledly teased… Then the Sky Tower communications tower exploded in to the new year.. Of multiples of rotating colour hues of fireworks from the tower’s platform.. Bringing Auckland of many cities within the first time zone to celebrate.. The new year… in a festive 48 hour celebration…
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 6,600 times in 2013. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 6 trips to carry that many people.
As to arriving very early, also admiring the weather of blue fine skies with moderately placed fluffy clouds, then prescribing myself getting my early prescriptions of four or five shot lattes, to wake me up, after a drive in it took my morning instant espresso coffee out.
This year cosplay, has been different, it’s pretty much diversify, in sense it cover almost every single possible genre.. from gaming, scifi to animie manga, Notability there’s been more of Doctor who… girls and guys cosplaying in either mostly the Matt Smith Doctor, than to the David Tennant’s Doctor… also there was some interesting uniquely tardis dresses, dressed in the blue box dress fashion , there was one impossible girl known as Clara Oswin, and a couple of excellent scary weeping angels… there was also the Dalek Dress girl, as well Daleks from different times of series from the classic, ironsides to the Cult of Skaro .. But one thing it’s going to be interesting to see, what Peter Capaldi’s Doctor is going to wear where he becomes the 12th Doctor..
On the comic front, there was the traditionally duo of harlequin queen and her slave The Joker…. Impressively cosplayed, of using the DC universe of Batman Asylum as a brilliant reference, as to the Joker, it was likewise aswell. Among that genre there was Diana- Wonder Woman, super girl. Captain America.. Marvel’s Movie Loki, the Arrow’s the Arrow himself also the Black Canary.. Among them is Catwoman….
Game, film and television wise cosplay it was interesting, walking around the halls of Armageddon, it seems that there’s been more of Assassins Creed cosplayers than from last.. Roaming around the halls location of Ubisoft’s Assassins Creed gaming centre, nearby that there was the Xbox live roaming also was brilliantly worked cosplay on Master Chief’s armoury 117 combat suit.. also his escort the trustee Starfleet officer from the NX01 days.. Among them also is the different variances of stormtroopers, in different eras of the Star wars Universe.. Plus with the exception of the Rebels having a X-wing fighter pilot, also a Jedi… the exception is a Zombie Storm trooper in which he haunts the halls.. Also I got the met the Cosplayer winner in Melbourne with his Game of Thrones in his Lannisters Armour.
Magically wise there was a few Hogwarts students around also there partnering schools in finding and defending against the dark lord, for he could not be named..
Game wise there was a very good selection, there was Fem Shepard from the Mass Effect series, also as mention above the assassins but the very impressive ones I’ve seen is Ironman also as Tony Stark, the Tardis girl, Fem Shepard, but one brilliantly impressive one is the Cosplayer whom did Claire Farron… Known as Lighting or Light.. Final Fantasy XIII– Lighting returns… she did a awesome job in creating lighting’s clothing in an intricately highly delicate degrees detailed….
Arriving early in the morning, the weather is clear, blue skies, walking through the multiple halls corridors in the ASB Pavilions, looking around, that there’s something interesting that from the last. This year at Armageddon in Auckland, exploring around, the corridors, also the event programme has reverted back to the previous calendar, as it was alternated due to making way for the Rugby world cup of 2012, as Armageddon Auckland falls back to the Labor day weekend…
In this year’s one, the events exhibits have grown larger, encompassing the third hall, in which contained the Artist Alley, also containing the legion 501st , also , plus the guys from Star Trek collection featuring there Collections of collectables also a sliver partial of the Constitution class Bridge, the Comm, Helm, also Navigations.. Within this Hall contains Wrestling matches, Laser Tag, plus Zombie chase. ..
Hall number two was interesting, traditionally it contain the signing booths, in which progressively the largest line in waiting was repeatedly three days straight was the actor whom played Luna Lovegood, the wife of Longbottom, is the curiously fabulous Evanna Lynch. Evanna Lynch line was so patiently waiting gridlock to the end of the hall. Nearby the signing panel in which had the Doctor panel, with three Daleks, and one freshly scruffy Tardis.. in two Daleks, one Ironsides, plus one Black cult of Skaro with a newly acquired driver…. What’s new within the halls of the number two, is that Warehouse, taking place where skinny communication used to be…Among the labour weekend of Armageddon Auckland is the brilliant awesome craftsmanship of cosplayers,
Hall number one. Had an interesting change, orthough it kept it’s traditional stalls, but it filed with mostly gaming from the Magic the game, to several major gaming companies, Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation, EA Blizzard, Nintendo, also Ubisoft’s, featuring some new content in gaming, plus PB Tech, in PC desktop customisation. In the area within is demonstration of the upcoming current Battlefield four, also its counter Call of duty…there was one early morning during Sunday as I was picking a very nice strong five shot latte where I met up a Ubisoft’s person, and explained about the story of a very much need coffee….Surprising enough during the conservation, she didn’t know whom the Fragdolls are, but explainly I suggest it would be very cool.. to have them invited over here…..
