So I meant to post about this like 4 months ago and I'm sure it'll come to bite me later but whatever. I'm still posting it anyway.

Basically this post is nothing new since it seems to getting made more often then naught now. Sorry I fail to bring any exciting news about it (site just went up not too long ago so I'm in the clear). But there's something exciting on my end.

I have a free plane ticket.

Yeah, for once I don't have to pay like 300 dollars just to get over there which is usually the biggest pain in the ass ever. And these flyer miles are basically only good for this year anyway and no better time to use it but over the summer.

So yeah, AX is pretty much my plan. My specific plan was that I would try and go for a hotel room if any of you guys were interested in going (which you are now because I'm telling you you are) so we could split it up and make the cost less. Seriously not even kidding. It won't be friendly but I'm willing to investigate it anyway. At least planning ahead may help to some extent.

Only reason I'm making some spiel about it this year is because I probably won't get another chance to go again for a long while. I'll have to be interning basically every summer from now on, with maybe an exception next year IF I'm lucky. So whether guests are good or not, it's just for the sake of having fun and relaxing.

So yeah, you should all stop recklessly spending money. And wait a bit and recklessly spend it with me and have a good time.

hmmm, interesting how you bring this up now. i was just talking to my friend that i went with to AX07 if he wanted to go or not this year....on the condition that a must see guest has to come visit in order for me to go. hearing that this may be your last trip to AX for a while makes me think even more about going.

your plan for the hotel room should perk up some interest from me and my friend...maybe. we did the same thing in '07 with the cost being split 6 ways or so which made the deal really sweet for 3 or 4 nights. i'll have to contact my friend to see if he'd be up to it. of course this isn't set in stone mind you so don't get your hopes up too much. i believe he told me that he'd go if he doesn't flunk his classes this quarter and has to make it up during the summer.

hahah, recklessly spend money. a bit too late for that when i started my Nanoha collection. although i'm worried if i were to stick around with you that i would really end up spending a lot more than i had originally planned to spend. ahh peer pressue is wonderful isn't it?

Wow, how did you end up getting the cost split 6 ways. I have to admit that's pretty impressive but then again, I hear too many stories like that from conventions anyway. Good luck to your friend though. I wish I could say I was not in the same boat but since I already set my trip in stone it'd be something I've have to make up later anyway. So it'd destroy about every summer in the future, but let's not talk about that.

And of course it's not like you're the only person I'm talking to about it since I was trying to egg about anyone who wanted to go who was interested.

I already talked to agumike a little bit about it, I know he said he was interested in attending but whether or not he'll be able to drive up is pretty much a on the fence kind of deal. Nano-Nano's not around so I can't really see if he's available or not and he's another person who I'd have to get in advance to make sure he actually has money. I also got in touch with the friend I went to AX07 just in case he felt like going again. And I'm pretty sure my sister and her friend are planning to go again this year.

In other words I'm leaving a lot of seats open on the bus just in case. I more or less could care what happens but I'm just trying to make it fun. Plus the more people we could get to go from the forums the better since it'd basically allow anyone involved the site some leisure time together, despite the fact we don't work on the site that much anymore. I'll attend to that issue in the summer though.

And yeah, we'd all be bad influences on eachother. Not like I would force you into buying too many things, right? And I think it'd be hard to find some Nanoha items you haven't already gotten on your own time, which may or may not be a good thing.

Oh, and of course if a really awesome Guest of Honor shows up that would be bonus. Though I haven't seen anything licensed (not like I keep track) that would encourage any really amazing guests.

well, it was only split 6 ways because the other people i were with were part of a club from my friend's brother's school. i hopped on into their plan a little late into the game (more specifically when they announced Hirano Aya and company were coming). i was the fortunate one to find a group to jump in with so i wouldn't shoulder the burden of having to pay 3 nights worth all by myself. the most i had to pay for was the gas since i carpooled too. i think i'll take summer classes to, but i'll try and find a class that doesn't fall on any of the days of AX.

well hearing from your plans, seems like you won't be alone if i don't happen to go so that so that's good to hear. and if we do end up planning to go together, that pretty much makes up for the failed meet up plans from the past AX conventions. fufu, "leisure time from the site".....such an oxymoron. it'll be more like going together would invigorate us to keep the site going hopefully.

yeeeah, the chances of you guys egging me to get Nanoha stuff is pretty much zilch since i've practically got all the things so far minus the unfindable Nanoha Chronicles book that appeared at a Comike event (such a cool cover, but i still can't find it). if there's anything i think you'll make me get, it would probably be GA stuff like the CDs or whatnot. admittedly, i still don't have the GA anime as part of my DVD collection (actually, i just got GAZ which was hard to find online).

i'm pretty strict on who i would consider as a MUST SEE guest of honor. the one i REALLY REALLY want to see even surpassing that of Hirano Aya would no doubt be Nakajima Megumi and/or May'n and/or Endou Aya. oh my gosh, just imagine if they even threw in a concert....i would go berserk if they actually do do that. but obviously that's pretty much nigh neear impossible because they're part of the "Macross" label and we all know Macross + U.S. = TROUBLE (stupid Harmony Gold). well one can dream....OPTIMISM MAX!!

Alright, well plans are all set up on my end. Sorry but no hotel room sharing so to speak since nobody really jumped in quick enough. So I'll be rooming with a few people who came from my hometown with me.

Either way, I know agumike is confirmed coming as well so we'll probably be organizing a lot. So if anybody else is interested in joining in the party, then I'll be glad to cooperate.

For the most part this will obviously entail walking around the convention together. I wish I could say we could attend the Broccoli USA panel but yeah, that's not happening this year.

But I also plan to organize us all going out to eat somewhere so the cost can be split up and everybody can socialize in a not so geeky environment. Should be fun, so yeah, if anybody else who reads this place wants to, just say something. Otherwise I'll have no idea what to tell you since we probably won't set a designated time and location. At least not that I know of yet.

ho~h, so there'll be 2 people form this board that'll be meeting up for sure this time. hey that's an achievement already looking back at the past failed attempts 2 years in a row. take lots of pictures!

had i known the fate of Broccoli USA would end up like it did, i would have have gone to the Broccoli panel in AX07 for sure. that was the first/only/last time we could have seen a GA seiyuu appear in person.....gaaah, i regret it so much now. you still have that keepsake of her signature somewhere safe right Likkun?

hahah, eat somewhere where it's not so geeky. the geekiness will still be there wherever you eat since the probability of running into an anime fan at that time is really high.

well, i still can't say that i'm going for sure. it's probably a "not likely" decision at this rate. bad timing and everything.

Bah, this just means fate has to throw me a bone and have a guest show up that you can't refuse. It would take some guest but I'm holding out so I can force you to come.

That or I'm going to have to resort to...

A) Begging
B) Blackmail
C) Something else

Other then that I have no clue where Nano-Nano is. And it's one of those things that one begins to worry about, especially since this has taken place over the entire year.

EDIT: I just realized how long this thing is. Happy reading.

Alright here we go, I'll try and sort through all this stuff best I can. I could do something smart like go day by day but I don't think I remember what goes where anymore. So whatever, I'll just start somewhere. And as always, my photography doesn't get any better so you just kind of have to deal with my half assing of things.

As usual I got kind of busy and didn't get a lot of chance to look at cosplay. In reality I spent more time in panels then anything else this year so it made it hard to get photos of much.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...09/frontier.jpg - A Sheryl and Klan pair that I ran into a couple of times.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...9/higurashi.jpg - Probably my favorite of all the Higurashi I saw around the convention.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...09/mireille.jpg - Mireille from Dusk or Mistral from Sign. I didn't really ask here so I wouldn't know which exactly. Not like it really does matter.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...agamasasama.jpg - The one Sengoku Basara cosplayer I saw. Seriously it was godsend when I saw him and he couldn't have picked a better photo-op character then Nagamasa.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...xpo%2009/p4.jpg - I ran into this group on accident when I was running to meet agumike for the Maid Cafe. Even though my sister and her friends were doing P4, I wanted to get this group because Nanako was so cute.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...%2009/snake.jpg - You can't see it in the picture but Old Snake's Solid Eye was actually flashing a red dot every so often.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...2009/travis.jpg - A night picture which explains the flash in the background. But nonetheless a Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes. I just finished the game recently, so it was awesome timing to see one while I was there.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...momosupanel.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...mosutickets.jpg

Some Morning Musume related stuff. The first picture is at the panel. Since we couldn't take pictures, a lot of people were taking a picture of where they were sitting, so I did the same. Since agumike was at the panel before, he got me a seat in the third row about, not including the first which was reserved for press. Ironically I was in front of Sayumi, who I think is the only one I really care for in the group. As for the other, it's the ticket as well as a ticket for their autograph session. I heard the autograph session was suicide, so I didn't even bother (no more SOS-dan incidents please). But in reality, me and my sister got moved up to fourth row at the concert since they outsold our seats. I can't say I like Morning Musume at all after going but at least I have the bragging rights of having seen it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...buildingday.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...ildingnight.jpg

So now we're getting into some different sort of things. But at the convention center they had these nicely up on the buildings. I have no interest in the game but yeah, how could you not take a picture of it? I would never have called a gigantic FF advertisement in the middle of downtown LA, that's for sure.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...09/michael1.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...09/michael6.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...09/michael2.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...09/michael3.jpg

Okay so not part of AX but part of it at the same time. In case you didn't know (which I would find hard to believe), preparation for Michael's memorial service were being done as AX was going on. So the signing board was out, the building projects, etc. One night we got out late and decided to get our names on the first signing board they put out. It was nice since it was something rather interesting to do, even if I wasn't down there intentionally to do it. And saying it wasn't a circus down there before, you would say it was because of Michael.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...o%2009/haul.jpg

Next on what I want to post. I actually didn't buy that much this year to be honest. Versus how I usually spend my money at AX, I really watched my pocketbook this time. But it has a lot to do with having to pay hotel, food, and other costs. But I think it made it all together a better experience.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...bbclearfile.jpg

This wasn't included in the previous photo since I didn't actually buy it. Aksys was just giving them away for free at their booth (I didn't figure it out until later so I only got one). But yeah, just a small clear folder. Simple and cute.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...po%2009/cds.jpg

I ended up buying a lot of CDs this year to be honest. The BB soundtrack (which I've been meaning to get), Deadball P's best collection (also was on my list), and the Pani Poni single was only around $4, so I couldn't pass it up.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...blueartbook.jpg

Yeah this made a lot of people mad. I know a lot of people had to go through GameStop to get this but they were selling them for $10 at the Aksys booth. They actually started selling them on their website as well for $15, so yeah I don't know what to say.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...%2009/lbset.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...%2009/kudo1.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...%2009/kudo2.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...o%2009/rin2.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...o%2009/rin3.jpg

Next is some Little Busters trading figures. So yeah, let's talk about how good I've gotten at trading figure weighing. Alright, so it was probably just dumb luck. But I found it amazing I scored my two favorite characters with not so much as a tiny struggle. I really wanted to order the set at one point but I'm kind of glad that it worked itself out.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...009/satoko1.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...009/satoko2.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...009/satoko3.jpg

A small, Nendoroid sized figure of Satoko from Higurashi. I saw quite a few of these around and couldn't quite pass it up. It pretty much felt like a Nendoroid just you're limited to one pose. On account I don't have any Higurashi goods, I figured it was good enough for me.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...009/pikmin1.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...009/pikmin2.jpg

An obligatory plushie purchase. It was actually going to be a Sakuya plushie from Touhou Project but it was so terribly overpriced I got this instead. It's really adorable though and I really want to get more of them just so I can make a Pikmin army in my room someday.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...hugoartbook.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...shugoposter.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...okcoverreal.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...bookpreview.jpg

They were selling this at Kinokuniya's booth and I was just making last minute purchases. Since I hadn't bought anything too big, I decided this would be my one larger purchase. It really was worth it though and since I love Peach Pit's original artwork it was hard to pass up. The covering around it was actually that poster which I found rather amusing. The poster itself is nice so it's just a matter of working it out so it's straight.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...09/freecure.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...thersigning.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...09/satsuki1.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...09/satsuki2.jpg

So he's a humorous one. I was walking by a booth and I got handed this booklet. I really didn't think much of it and stuffed it into my bag just to get it out of my hands. When I open it up at home, I find it's loaded with signatures. I can't say I'm into J-Rock at all anymore but I know well enough that Satsuki used to be a pretty big guy. It was rather odd to receive a free book with all these signatures and sadly I know a lot of girls would probably pay a lot for this kind of thing that I simply got handed to me.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...09/thouther.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...2009/iroiro.jpg

Alright, so fine. This is a side triumph post AX slightly. I said that while I was in LA I would go down to Olvera Street and pick myself up a lucha libre mask. This was the result and I have to admit it was worth every penny. This probably has more to do with my friends back on campus but yeah, it's a purchase made around the same time nonetheless. As for the shots of me wearing it, well that's a different story all together.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...9/moriandme.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...risignature.jpg

A picture with Mori Toshimichi, aka one of the main men behind BlazBlue as well as his signature inside of my BlazBlue artbook. I really didn't know what to expect from him but really I liked him more then Ishiwatari. He was incredibly funny at the panel and a lot more talkative on certain subjects then Ishiwatari (as in letting things slip that Ishiwatari was hesitant to).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...watariandme.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...keautograph.jpg

A picture next to the one and only Daisuke Ishiwatari and his signature on my copy of GGAC+. In reality, standing next to him was one of the biggest things to me. Since he's really a big composer when it comes to music for me (his styling with music is something I've come to tremendously respect) it was a huge honor to get the picture with him. Frankly though he is pretty mellow but it's one of those people that you can see pure experience in.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...09/maidcafe.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...9/maidcafe2.jpg

And now for the real fun for last. Basically though the first shot is actually on the first day of the con. The maid cafe was advertising itself in the front area so they were allowing pictures of everything. Unfortunately there was no photography allowed inside but that's solved later (or another set of photos I guess). The second is something we got afterwords and as you can see, I have two (don't ask where my other ticket is to be honest, I have no clue where I put it). I ended up going twice in a ridiculously stupid chain of events that's related to my idiocy. I'm not at liberty to post that here but you can always contact me on AIM or MSN for THAT story.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...mybackagain.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...maidpicture.jpg

Yahoo! Watermarks! Yeah, these are actually up on their site as well as a ton of other photos and such. But yeah, first photo is actually of me and my sister as well as her friend entering on the second time I went (their first). There's a ton of other photos of my back in the mess of stuff if it interests you or you want to see what it was like inside. The second photo was properly described when it was posted elsewhere as "俺の嫁キタ━━━ヽ(ヽ(゚ヽ(゚∀ヽ(゚∀゚ヽ(゚∀゚)ノ゚∀゚)ノ∀゚)ノ゚)ノ)ノ━━━!!!!" for accuracy's sake. On account there was the opportunity to take a photo with a maid of your choice, there was one I couldn't pass up. Not surprisingly, I look like an idiot in this photo to but I'm terrible at taking photos 24/7.

To wrap everything up!

I didn't go to the Vocaloid panel because when it was going on, I was actually at the Maid Cafe a second time. But from what I gathered it wasn't worth much anyway, at least nothing I would care about. If you ask me I was having more fun where I was anyway. I was really having trouble wanting to go anyway, so it's probably better that I found an alternate way to spend my time.

The Vocaloid cosplay I saw was pretty mishmash. A ton of stuff but nothing really special that I could speak of. The most amusing I saw around was a Gackpoid but the rest didn't really drive me crazy. Then again, I didn't have much time to glance around. Oh and to answer your question no BRS as far as I saw.

agumike was taking pictures as well. And I can probably get him to post those here when he gets the chance. I think he took a lot more cosplay photos then I did, so his collection might be more intriguing then mine. He might also be willing to reveal which photo at the Maid Cafe booth is his, but from how he is I wouldn't count on it. Oh and somehow we stupidly overlooked taking a photo together. Don't ask me how but I think it just slipped our minds since we were hanging out pretty frequently.

Uwaaaa....last but not least, the ringer. Through some further stupid moves in hindsight on my end, I'm already in the grave. Or so to say, I'm already set to go again next year. I kind of sort of dropped some promises here and there and I probably want to hold to those. So hey if you want to join me, now you have all year to think about it. I'm not sure how much free time I'll have since I'll be hanging with numerous people. I have to cosplay though and there's no getting out of it this time around (ノД`). But I think it'll be rewarding in the least and it gives me plenty of time to be setting money aside. But I already know that I'll be working my ass off since the plane ticket won't be free this year. Time to get to work.....(ノД`)

wow....that was pretty long. i finished my lunch/dessert/2nd dessert while reading this so i wasn't too bored eating, heh.

interesting that there were Macross Frontier cosplayers still. since the airing's over, i was wondering if it would go the way of the dodo. guess i was wrong.

hmmmm, sounds like the Morning Musume was equivalent to the SOS-dan fiasco, huh. well, they are a pretty big name so that's understandable....not that i care for them really. yeeeah, if i were to have gone i probably would've skipped the autograph signing after going through the hell that was the SOS-dan nightmare. how was the concert though? i'm curious if they did similar things like the SOS-dan one where they had little talking sessions that took forever because of the translations and what not.

ahhh, i remember seeing pics of the FFXIII ads on those buildings. i didn't know about the Michael Jackson signing stuff though so that's news to me.

ok....i'm one of those guys whose pissed off about the BlazBlue artbook so seeing that pic didn't help me much. when i saw it, i think my mind automatically snapped with many many curse words (directed to Gamestop of course) flew through my head since i didn't get one. of course, i complained via email and they said they'll see if they can send me one......yeah right

ahhhh the Shugo Chara artbook. i tear came down when i saw Nadeshiko after so long.

well, you can always sell that Cure mag for a pretty nice price......or win over some girl's heart and say you went through hell just to get that for her (awww....). either way, you've got something good in your possession it seems.

hahah, the little chick on top of the lucha libre mask makes it even more fearsome.

wow, now that i'm a fan of BlazBlue, those pictures with them make me wish i went just for their signatures. too little too late i guess.

ho~h, so there was a maid cafe was there? i would think that it would be pretty corny because those images of the Ouran Highschool Host Club thing they did in an anime convention (can't remember which one) was just....ugggh. but seeing as how you went twice, seems like something must've been interesting. i'm acutally curious for a story regarding your series of events in that so let's hear it. since i don't use AIM or MSN, email will have to suffice. i'll admit, i chuckled after looking at the "俺の嫁キタ━━━ヽ(ヽ(゚ヽ(゚∀ヽ(゚∀゚ヽ(゚∀゚)ノ゚∀゚)ノ∀゚)ノ゚)ノ)ノ━━━!!!! and then going to that picure. just imagining that description while looking at the pic is classic comedy. me thinks i'll have to take a look at the site to see the maids.

yeah i figured there wouldn't be any BRS, or if there was any the quality wouldn't be great. i myself haven't seen any VOCALOID cosplay worth remembering so it's not too surprising not seeing any good ones this year.

huh, i could've sworn you sayint that this year would be your last. looks like you dug yourself grave to change your mind like that. EHH?!? you're going to be cosplaying???? woah, now that's something worth going to next year, hahah. who will you be going as? i'm very curious to see how that will turn out. well like you said, i have a year to decide whether i'll go or not. hopefully they throw something in so crazy that there's no chance of me missing it whatsoever.

Sorry I couldn't go this year because I was flat broke and without the internet at that time I didn't know what was happening and where we would meet but I HOPEFULLY will go next year so we could meet (FINALLY after numerous failed attempts)

And nice AX pics man I would of loved getting an autograph from Daisuke Ishiwatari (love the music from the GG series) just to piss off my friend which also loves the music.

Woops, I kept on forgetting to respond to this.

@urgayduck
But yeah, as I hard the Macross gathering was a pretty decent size. I mean Frontier was recent so it allowed for it to get some pretty decent hype. So it might not stick around with a huge crowd but I'm pretty sure it'll always have a decent following for awhile at least.

Yeah, I know there was a bit of a mess surrounding Morning Musume autograph session but that was about it. I mean the rest went well. The concert itself was good for what it was. I give them complete respect as musical performers in that sense, I won't take that away from them for sure. Granted it's what they do, they're really used to performing live so it was definitely their element. Plus majority of their music sounded better live then on the CD when I listened to it, could have just been the volume distracted me though.

Actually I'd give the Maid Cafe a certain amount of credit. I mean it covers the bare basics that you would expect in that sort of situation. I don't expect some things from it since it's hard to time it for AX so that you can allow for the max amount of people to be able to see it. But they kept it interesting so I'm not going to complain. But yeah, I'll get that e-mail to you if you're still interested. I think I still have your e-mail address.

The whole cosplay thing, yeah that's a pickle I got myself into quite nicely. But for one group of people I'm supposed to be doing Kaito from you obviously know what and for another group I'm supposed to be doing Yukimura from Sengoku Basara. But we'll see how that turns out. I know I have to do Kaito for Sure, Yukimura will get done if I'm lucky and have enough money to do so.

@Nano-Nano
Haha, don't worry too much. I had pretty decent company this year so I wasn't too concerned. Frankly if everybody who says they'd go next year wants to, I'm going to have waaaay too many people to meet up with. I guess I'm starting to become a popular guy nowadays.

But yeah, the picture next to Daisuke was pretty godly. I mean I write music, so meeting a composer of his caliber, and getting a picture with him is godly.

don't feel too bad, i completely forgot about my last post so i had to read through again to refresh my memory.

@Likkun
well when you have free time or you're completely bored out of your mind, take a trip through memory lane and enlighten me (or us if Nano-Nano wants in on it) of your ordeals you went through. always up for a good read of your stories.

i'm sorry, i cracked up pretty hard when you said you're going as Kaito. not cracking up as in making fun of you, but the possibilities that you can pull off. i'm sure you won't go as far as this: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm6923004 , but going zenryouku zenkai as Kaito is priceless. it'd probably be worth going to AX to see you be as him though, heh.

@Nano-Nano
it would be nice if we actually did see each other for once. it's as if the three of us were destined not to see each other in person. and apparently someone thinks he's too popular to the point that we won't be able to see him unless we go to a panel to get a ticket which doesn't guarantee a chance to see him unless you're one of the first hundred people. i'm joking about the first part (not really) and mocking the last part of the sentence. stupid people that spent the night in front of the line.....grrrrr.....

//EDIT
oops, it wasn't zenryouku zenkai (too much Nanoha influence in my vocabulary). still, that videos great stuff. i will never forget chibi Miku's facial expression
