Good Lord, what a weekend.....
Welp, now that I'm all unpacked and rested and stuff......
Time for my bootleg con report.
(for future references, all my con reports will be bootleg. I'm just lazy like that)
Alright!
Thursday Night:
Packing all our stuff and getting snackage together to go. Everyone spends the night at my apartment and we didn't go to bed until about 4 a.m. We watched anime (yup, right before a con. It's the best way to get pumped up!) and talked about how great this con would be. Woot!
Friday Morning through afternoon:
Throw all our crap in the cars. Got gas and hit the road for one BORING ASS DRIVE THROUGH THE CORNFIELDS OF HELL (i.e Indiana) to get to Chicago. Along which were almost-missed exits, a stop in the middle of nowhere for some ice-cream, and the devil's creation, tollbooths(damn 80 cents every other mile).
Got to the hotel at about 3. Find out that yahoo lied to me and our hotel is not in fact across the street from the hotel, but DOWN the street. Pisstivity levels rise.
Check in, and find out they charge $16 a day for parking. Levels elevate. We get up to the room, it's nice and all. We start our hike to the convention center to register. We are met by a scary-ass line. I mean, the kind that you wait for hours in. Thank God we found out that pre-reg was in another part. We then get our stuff and commence to con-going!!!!
Saturday:
Met Vic Mignogna, Steve Blum and Beau Billingslea. All wonderful guys and I got pics of them and with them! Oh yeah S-chan, I got your autograph! They are such nice guys. My cousin (who worships Edward Elric) kept running to the vendors room to buy more Fullmetal Alchemist stuff for him to sign! My friend Alaina now wants to have Vic's baby.
*sigh*
Met up with Lindsey! Haven't had a chance to hang out with her since Ohayocon and it was great! We hung out, talked, stole leaves from the hotel balconies(she needed a prop dammit), and had a great time. (don't forget the bum Kenshin!)It's always nice to be reminded that there are people like you in the world who want to kill douchebag staffers. And trust me, Anime Central is FULL of them. I mean, who do you know would unplug the DDR game right when you're in the middle of a song AND you paid for it? Acen staffers. Who yells at you for being in the room to get your autographs that another staffer told you to go in because they ran out of time for the first autograph session because someone scheduled a panel right next to the autograph session? Acen staffers. Who walks around waking people up in the lobby when all they're doing is taking a break? Acen staffers.
Anime Central staffers= douchebags.
Sunday:
Did some last minute shopping, said my goodbyes to Lindsey, ran into Vic Mignogna again and got pics with him and headed home.
Other than that, I saw VA's, got autographs, spent money and had some fun!
One day I'll put up pics, but today is not that day. Because once again, this report is bootleg as hell.
