General
I don't know if I can remember everything that happened. Also pre-emptive sorry if i misspell anyone's name or leave anything out.
Drove down from Toronto with patto, alicesama, and demicoeur. Since I'm stupid and don't really look up directions beforehand we ended up taking 7 hours on a trip that should only take 5 and a half ish. Also ended up going through some hicktown with rollercoaster hills and scary white people. Told the customs/boarder person that we were going to a 'fantasy/scifi convention in pittsburgh' and he snorted and was like 'what the heck is a fantasy/scifi convention?'
Arrived at AC at 2pm, went to chillax at my room in the doubletree till like 3 and had a few drinks, then wandered around town alone while tipsy and looking for the con without a map (I'm stupid) and it took me half an hour to finally get there.
Highlights from what I can remember:
- Sharp edge is an awesome restaurant with like 10x the beer selection of anywhere I've been to in Canada. Why don't we have a place like this?
- Putting my name in for Artist's Alley for shits and giggles not expecting to get in (it was a lottery) and panicking when I got called. I didn't plan to sell anything and was just doing it to save space for Patto who actually got a table, too. Thankfully Winddragon told me it was okay to sell digital things so I just did some DS badges. Thanks Kagnar, Cyberwuff, Mousey and Geemo!
- Talking mad chinese with clup but not being able to keep up half the time. So I just laughed and nodded and hoped he wouldn't notice. Also trading little sticky note drawings in the zoo.
- Egging jasonmiller into drawing cubscatporn. Also both of us almost having a heart attack with all the caffeinated thing(s) we had.
- Watching a particularly loud and noisy white haired chick randomly break down into a mess and wail until voln and corkinbusker offered to help her. Then seeing her again that evening with a bra on her head shouting some nonsense.
- James Gurney's panels which were like super ridiculously helpful and informative and worth the time to go to [/fanboy]
- BEERING and Chillin' with friends in the Omni. Thanks for introducing me to all those different beers, guys! Also thanks to goldenboiblaze for bringing so much of it. PROPS
- Black Dynamite (the parts where I was awake) with artdecade, kilmo, mook280, thatoneguy297, hottapwater, jelloftheanticrumb, clup, and jasonmiller
- Hilarious pictochatting on the last evening with kilmo, hottapwater, voln and the other people in the zoo. That was a loooot of fun!
- Having onta see me sitting alone in the hallway waiting for my DS to charge during the pictochat shenanigans and heckling me for it :B

And you are totally not the big black chick I thought you would be :<
Did DJMixer tell you that or something?
Another one told me she was surprised that I was asian.
And then I go to this guy and he's like "I THOUGHT YOU WERE A BLACK WOMAN"
clearly I've been made incorrectly :C
"YOU'RE TOTALLY CHINESE AREN'T YOU YOU PAINT LIKE A CHINESE."
"You are a terrible person. But yes."
I think Kamui's in denial though. Embrace it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1dfEf1qOt4 is your posse right there!
That loud chick sounded familiar. Did she have a glass eye?
I gotta get my ass of to AC one day, it sounds so fun to be there. Concentrated fun, no artificial ingredients.
I figured i'd have fun while going but I didn't expect to have so much of it
[size=small]that's what she said[/size]
I can really imagine you sitting there all alone ... not sure if it's a good thing
Running up to you like an out-of-breath dork that one time was one of my lowlights*guh*
I kind of felt bad when you walked off shortly after because I was afraid we weren't including you in our conversation or something!
I was so mortified I would have skulked off even if you were talking to me, I felt like such a dweeb at that point.
Nah we were totally just chillin in the hallway cause it's less crowded. I was also kind of jumping in between 3 groups of friends at that point because I wanted to hang out with everyone equally and was like "ohmygod i'm probably not seeing them for another year"
Don't worry, you didn't see me though, I sorta didn't wanna let anyone know if I was actually there or not...but, if you saw this suit around...then you saw me, sorta. ^_^ ---> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4050820
Though I dunno if I'll be doing that table thing again. Maybe just one day like last time, or maybe I'll share a dealer's table with
Haha, but then I missed a lot of folks. >.>
Haha though I did have friends wearing them eventually, got a *lot* of questions XD
Glad you had fun, tho! Sounds like a wild time with some cool kids <3
He had a few panels there (two of which I missed :x.) but I attended the one where he talked about fleshing out an imaginary world and one on proper color/lighting.
That white haired chick I was talking about was in the former panel talking on her cellphone loudly when he was starting the panel, adding in unfunny remarks during the presentation and packing up and leaving right after being the first to ask a question rather than waiting for the thing to end.
I don't know how people can have so little sense of boundaries or social etiquette.
And yeah, there are always a few of those folks... Really, I think just about all of the panels I've been to (or hosted 9_9) have had one of them, which either means they make up like one in forty con-goers, or they specifically gravitate towards panels while the mellower, socially adept people are off just getting drunk with friends.
Or there's a third possibility, which is that they specifically seek out, find, and follow you and me around. Then, you know, make panels awkward as a kind of incredibly indirect, passive-aggressive slight against us
Wo yow fung pi.
BUT ANYWAYS, man I would totally do a Colors! DS Jam session if I were around. Sounds like you had an awesometacular time.
I've only met Voln in real life, and he's like one of the most chill dudes evar. He's the bees knees =].

Ah yes, I remember her, ear piercing voice at times too, lol, dunno what she was about.
It was great seeing you!!!
"The man killed my brotha!"
let's never talk about either picture ever again please.
If you're ever attendin' any other cons in the future though, be sure to let me know :E I'd love to finally meetcha
and pick at your brains!I am seriously thinking about FC this coming year, provided the Gods of Finance view me favorably. Maybe MFF next year, too, depending on the tempers of aforesaid deities. 0_o In any event: we get together, share tipple, plot a takeover of Christina Aguilera's cleavage.
But I knew that already.
I'd love to eventually hear how this panned out in more details—although words can't do it justice, I'm sure!
What? You don't think dog dicks would be appropriate for this? Then why would you suggest such a thing in the first place?
And yeah, what's her name. Also saw her downtown with the bra on her head later that evening.
...Wasn't as willing to help in that instance.
I was wanting to ask you about your experience with helping the chick but figured it probably wasn't as interesting/catastrophic as I'd imagined/hoped it would be, anyway!
