Sorry for the silence, and Anthrocon
a year ago
This year has been a massive pain from the start and progressed like an endless waltz to this day with annoyance, idiocy, and blatant stupidity. Sprinkled with a little loss and forelorning to further put me into consecutive deep thought during my self-reflecting to better ascertain my standpoint. Even to the point that my videogaming has gotten stalled, and anyone that knows me well enough is aware I play for fun to relax. I'm still quite sane, just a bit more detached from my normal flow than usual.
And thus Anthrocon; my escape from reality, away from everything and one I hate for a near week with absolutely no obligations to care what occurs in my absence. AC was my very first vacation (in general) away from home and I found it to be most pleasant, albeit the financial screw-up and judicial issue that job at the time caused and forced me to relinquish most of my spending funds as a result. The con experience is always good for me, and great when I get to see those that I only get to interact with online. I also give much recognition to the city it's held in due to the various cultures and places you can go to for recreation and culinary satisfaction, which is why I always try to go to atleast one new place very year while making repeat trips to others.
The trip-to is always a treat. The scenery varies so much and th changes are the indicators of getting closer to various locations. Breezewood is the mid-point marker I reach from my traveling point and the shifting of the land & views are really something to behold before and after the stop. I strongly recommend pitstopping at Breezewood if you get the chance, especially for some good food (Sheetz & Bob Evans are awesome prime). Last year I got to Pittsbugh at night, and the visual of the townhouses in the distance was so cool. It was like looking at a mountainside speckled with lights, a vertical starfield if you will.
Anywho, will anyone be going this time around?

The love to Pittsburgh and to Breezewood both is noted. I hope you have a great time and enjoy the food ^_^
If it's still in business, and if you're able to find time to visit the southern part of town in Pgh., I recommend Victory Arcade. I was fond of the hot dog vendor across the street from there, too.
Oh, I'm counting on that vendor to be around. We can all agree that vendor hotdogs hit differently than others, moreso when they grill it on the spot.
All jokes aside, no AC for me dude. Between taxes (taken care of), medical bills (in progress) and having to find an additional job now, no AC plans for me this year.
I am trying to get things ready for animeusa. It'll be my youngest nephew's bday gift. Lil dude is a massive weeb and he really wants to experience an anime con. I myself am making plans to sa e for Evolution at Las Vegas. Be it 2025 or 2026. That and giving a few other events a chance aside from the ones I've been attending.
Wish I would have known about your plan for going to AUSA back in February, so I could have given you the discount promo code. If you guys do come, it would be great to see you. Even more ironic, the location where it is now is the same that you were denied the full immersion that one year. There's actually an arcade place not too far from the hotel, so it would also be an interesting spot to check out.
TT's doing well at college.. and at a summer internship this season. On Track to graduate with honours soon.
And, unfortunately, I don't have the recipe or the tools to make any of those apple pies - and geeze? Has it really been 7 years since the shop closed? Damn, that hurts.
