The Con
Weell, I just spent the past 2 days at Mega-Con. It's funny, although I went alone, apart from seeing Brad and Jen (HI GUYS!!), it's like I feel a kinship with these people. I never really feel part-of-a-crowd when I'm in a Large Group of People. Especially when they are my age. BUT, the con was different. Somehow, I identify with the assortment of freaks/geeks/weirdos/goths/gamers/ and star trek/star wars/anime/lost in space freaks as a group more than I ever did at any sort of "event".
Plus, I got to meet Bill Mumey (Lenier!) and David Mack (Kabuki!), and I got to see Chekov (the actor from star trek and B5!!), Atreu (from the Neverending Story!), James O'Barr (the Crow!!) and a host of other minor-but-significant stars. AAAAAND, I got dice!! Pretty dice. Shiny dice. GLITTERY dice. Dice-of-many-colors. Huzzah.
In short, it was Neat. If you didn't go this year, go next year. S'a good time.
The bad news of the day (booooo) was mainly that the AFI concert that I've been looking forward to for Months was cancelled. Booooooo. The lead singer has to rest his voice or risk damage to his cords, so, I understand, but STILL. Booooooo. (everybody with me now...1...2...3....BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!)
Ahh well, whatayagonnado.
Ciao people. *bounces off with her new dice*
