Reactor 2007
SO...let's see Reactor has existed for what 5 years now? The first year I cosplayed and I still want to thank Renee for making that possible and for making my costume. Although I have thought about cosplaying again I haven't had the time or energy to go and do it. And I like working the cons. ^-^
Uhm anyways...I've been on Security for 4 out of those 5 years and I have to say that...this..was probably the SLOWEST most boring reactor ever. It wasn't horrible because as June has repeatedly said, it's the PEOPLE. Seeing all of you of course, and also seeing those people that I love but only get to see a few times a year. Hanging out with people for a whole weekend is awesome but I was disappointed in how things ended.
I got to the con on Thursday, and it was pretty much uneventful except that Kathy went crazy because my xs shirt was missing and no one understood how it could have been taken because I am the only xs on security...and they might have said I was the only xs on staff. *shrug* I don't remember. Turns out..MALCOLM had it. HAHAHAHAAA RJ and I found it when we went to the room to drop our stuff off and he saw a shirt, that Malcolm had gotten, and said "Queenie...I found your shirt" He had it by accident because it said YOUTH XL..and someone other than the people in con-ops handed it to him I believe. And then..that was it.
Friday: Slow....veeerrrry slow. soooo slow that I was too tired to do anything at night. And yet I still didn't get that much sleep.
Saturday: You know that raffle Locke set up with all his stuff? GUESS WHO WON..TWICE?! Me!!!! Because I went and bought 15 tickets. ^-^ So I won on Saturday and Sunday. And no...it was not rigged....mean ol' Jim. I loved talking to and chillin' with Locke, Hugh, Iguill and all of those wonderful people. And I of course could not have made it through the weekend if it were not for you guys being around and some being on staff.
Nothing big happened this con that really caused any of us stress because you probably know that a lot of people went to the other convention...thus the lack of people and dealers. Oh well.. that was for the best anyways seeing as how the staff was really small.
I was actually incredibly awake. Maybe it's because I watched baby Dom for like 2 hours..and then he fell asleep so I carried him for well over an hour, but I just wasn't tired. But then..nothing really happened. OH! Mark came after saying he wouldn't come, hehehehe. I had a shot of Godiva then we all went down to the dance..I went cuz I wanted to see Taz and then...nothing. I do wish I had stayed with Lee and everyone..I mean you guys were right across the freakin' hall but I thought I would sleep. BUt then I got into bed and didn't sleep..sTUPID!
oh...Lee...STOOPID! How many times did I say that to you...and Adam? hahahaha I heart you guys..really...but STOOPID!
Sunday...did the last of my "shopping" I had a hard time finding good cell phone straps..and there were a few things I regretted buying but oh well. RJ got me all 8 colors for Yoshi. heeheehee YAY! they're so kute, and I won him the huge painting from something I don't remember but everyone was jealous and Malcolm was mad...ok not really but he wanted it for his brother but didn't know how he would have gotten it back home. And also this other old figure things that was cool.
Said bye to people after hanging out for a bit and then--left. All of day shift security left at 2 because Hugh said it was ok and there was nobody around. Which was weird for me because I'm used to staying until 4-5 on the last day of Reactor to be there when the dealer's room closes.
The hotel was cool and the hotel staff was awesome, they were so open and friendly. I got to know quite a few of them! The rooms..were nice but made everything really dry and like Hugh said..there had to be SOMETHING in their water..did anyone else notice?
all in all....it was pretty ok but moved really slow. I miss the people and the hanging out and not worrying about what time I needed to get home. ^-^ I'll put up pictures on Facebook. HAH!
I heart you guys!!
