So yeah, I know I'm really late on this. I never really write journals but I don't want people to think I forgot about them!
AlistairAnaheim was kind enough to help set me up with a ride last minute as I decided out of the blue a week prior to AC that I was going to go.
Alkali is a total badass and drove us all the way up to Pittsburgh and back in his 500 miles per gallon hybrid. His car actually shits the money for gas (and then some!) when you pour it in. It was my first legitimate con so I was understandably scared of what I might find. Luckily, I rode up with an awesome group of people (
AlistairAnaheim,
Alkali,
Kyotsu, and
serious-stripes) who didn't smell like ass and/or rape me. Off to a good start!
I roomed with
Darkkfear,
Prototype-1,
shakraah, and Ash. As with the car ride up, I'd only ever met one of these people inperson before, but they were all super nice and friendly. I got free cookies and they got to see me get wasted for the first time, so it was a good tradeoff~
I spent a lot of time hanging out with
AlistairAnaheim,
Draconum,
deca,
Odendo,
PygarPanda and a guy named Milton. Thanks for letting me chill with you guys, particularly when I lost my cell phone and couldn't contact my roomates. You're all stupidly nice and fun to hang around. It was nice meeting you as well,
benvolio, and it was nice to see
That Freaking Cat around, albeit always in a drunken daze (<3). Sidenote; I saw
AtomicStoney walking to the room next to your's and I said hi but I'm pretty sure she had no idea who I was. I got to enjoy the experience of being a creeper!
I also hung out in the gaming room with
Matto-kun playing SSF4 for more of the con than I probably should have. I met
SeonBarzard and
Toby there, as well as running into
Honest22 and Furlop from Steam.
This is my first time doing this; I feel like I just made a collage of profile links. Is this what being a whore is like?
TL;DR thanks to everybody I met at the con for making my first one an honestly wonderful experience. A lot of stereotypes I felt towards the fandom were shattered and I had a fantastic time <3
