AWWWWRIGHT, this is gonna be painful.
Started off Wednesday night, at like 11 PM. Picked up in the van, had a quick get-to-know-everybody-thing. Ended up teasing Lynx for a while, watched most of Borat, and COULDN'T SLEEP for the entire trip. Everyone else did. BUT NONE FOR ME~ Heeehheeehheeeeee.
Got to the hotel at like 10 am, thursday. Conked out and then got our pre-register stuff, and went back and checked out stuff and fell back asleep.
FRIDAY: we wake up late, and ed up going to the artshow, dealer's Den, and Artist Alley first thing. I pretty much spend ALL OF MY MONEY in about an hour and a half. Eventually left for Open Mic Comedy. I HAD TO. I made many people vomit laughter from their mouth holes. Later went to Anthropoly, which is kind of like a Furry Gameshow, much like Match Game. Lynx and I agreed, that if HIS number was called, I'd go up instead, didn't need to. I was the first contestant called. I won the first round, But lost the game. Later went to Uncle Kage's Show, ANd I laughed. OH YES. met Nikolai at the show, and hung around and scoured Pittsburgh for hours looking for late night food, and ended up getting Pizza.
SATURDAY:Ahhhh, saturday. the day We finally had Wendy's. Did Artist Alley again, found Techno. lost techno. Found Maw, several times. got our commissioned badges and sketches. Found and Lost Nikolai again. TRIED going to a panel on muscular drawings, and both Lynx and I were falling asleep. So we went back to the Hotel, and napped. LATER: We went to 2's rant. I got some of the good stuff on video. And ended up going to most of the Improv Show. left early and I raved next door for like..... 15 minutes. went back to the hotel made romance explosion, and conked out AGAIN.
SUNDAY: almost nothing, mainly relaxed, for there was pretty much, nothing to do at the convention.
MONDAY: We Left on time, got a bit turned around in Pittsburgh. Had a few problems with the Van revving high in neutral BY ITSELF. With the messed up van, we exit Pennsylvania okay. A bit past Cleveland.... and it stops. The Van's electricity SHUTS OFF, on the interstate. We blew a belt, and it fucked the entire engine up. Towed away, and most of us huddling in a pit stop. Garrett Picked Jesse up, while the rest of us are tired, cranky, and I'm in pain.
7 hours after the initial death of the 'f'ing Lies and Vice' Van. Garrett.... shows up in a soccer-mom Van. I again, can't sleep in moving vehicles. Already in pain, and cramped legs made getting home fun. We end up getting me back to Milwaukee around 4 am.
