 (always have that cheap camera with you, in addition to that nice 
caera... if photo's aren't allowed, try the "cheap snap shot" one... as 
long as it's only 1-2 shots, they'll probably let you go ^_^;;; (maybe... 
unless the other fans decides to kill you, which is most likely... ^_^;;;)

 Getter a longer, bigger zoom lense... (...but people will think you're 
an pervert as wel, at events like comicet... and they'll refuse photos, 
if the zoom lense is too big... ^_^;;; One reason why I dropped the idea 
of a good zoom lense ^_^;...but they work well, if you are in the 
lastrwo, at some event, etc... ^_^;)

 (I might have the picture of Misato and ahinji (mom and son) cosply from 
comicet somewhere... I saw them, but I can't remeber taking a picture of 
them...I think I showed you all the ones I took at comicet last time at 
AM... (or was it at karaoke, and not AM?)
