Comicpalooza Weekend!!
It's alive! It's alive!
Yeah, that could kind of be applied to me at the moment. Noon and I'm just now crawling out of bed. Wow ...
Let's see if I can turn this huge weekend into a shorter post.
Friday:
It was a fantastic weekend. I've been to 6 cons before this and apparently 7 really is the magic number here. This is the first con that things didn't blow up in my face or I end up miserable. I had tons of fun, picked up lots of new things, tried new games, made friends, and was hailed by various artists as they'd remembered me from other cons, favorably no less! The fighting group from OniCon was there as well and remembered us and called us over to talk to for a bit too.
This is how con should always be.
I hope your weekend was as delightful and fun packed as mine was.
