Highlights of the RMFC

Day one: I arrive at the Doubletree at seven thirty expecting
chewymusicwolf,
kihu,
zombow, and
foggydane to be there, but they weren't. I knew they had a fifteen to seventeen hour drive so I knew that plenty of things could go wrong, so I register for the con and they still haven't shown up, once it gets to noon I start freaking out cause i cant afford the whole reservation on my own and I'm trying to decide if I should cancle it if they don't show. Thankfully around one to one thirty I finally spot chewy and we chat for a few minutes finding that they had left California way a couple hour late, then he takes me out side to me the guys at which point I also meet
thehambone and Jared who were also waiting for them but I didn't even know it at the time since I had never met them before. After the introductions I was finally able to check in and get a our room. At round four I meet
skippotter the last member of the gang. The rest of the day was fairly uneventful until eight when the poker tournament which was being done by
bigfootcat started, I came in fourth in the first qualifing round. After that I went back to the room since I had no interest in going to the dance. The decided sleeping arrangement were that
zombow,
foggydane,
kihu, and
thehambone got the beds, Jared got the chair and the rest of us would sleep on the floor.
Day two: Waking up at around four or four thirty which was quite unusual for I got ready for the day went to Sonic down the street, had breakfast, returned to see if anyone was awake and they were still fast asleep. At eight :iconkihu was awake getting ready to work in the dealers den, the rest weren't awake until about ten. The indoor parade was kind of boring the suits were interesting but there needed to be some music the parade was pretty quiet. I went to feew panels and hung out in the dealers den and bought a massive stack of dead trees (books). At raound three I laid down for a nap and woke up at five forty only to find the guest of honor dinner had already started, I was freaking out because I had spent 25$ on the ticket I was still able to get in but
2gryphon had finished a story that he was telling the rest of the room just as I came in, however his comedy show late that evening was awsome.
Day three: Started out much the same way as day two though I did go with Jared to McDonalds. The two major high lights of the were I finally gat up the courage to get a commission done, the one who I commissioned is
kihu for badge. At around six
chewymusicwolf,
kihu,
zombow, and
foggydane headed back to California and
thehambone and Jared headed back to Nebraska. It was sad to see them go, I wish we could have hung out a bit more.
skippotter and I were finally able to sleep in the beds and not on the floor since it was now just the two of us in the room. The other high light of the day was the last dance, I finally got up the courage to go out on the dance floor where I spent the four hours dancing (my feet are still killing me).
Post con: The day after it was time to go home packet up made sure that nothing was forgotten.
skippotter was kind enough to give me a ride home I cant thank him enough for that. Now two days later my feet still hurt, and I find myself still tired, but I will do it again next year with out hesitation and I hope the gang come back next year, I wouldn't mind hanging out with them again.
