MFM 2007 Con Report!
18 years ago
General
As all things are subject to inflation, sadly, so are my prices. With the raise in my cost of living, commission prices have gone up, see footer below.
Let's see, where to start. I'll try to do my best to go chronologically.
Friday: Got to the hotel at around 9amish, did the check-in thing. 10ish, registered for the Con (didn't preregister, will remember to do so next time).
The first person I bumped into (well people) were Mr. and Mrs. Orion. I got to have a short talk with Strider for about 10 mins that resulted in a bit of mutual laughter, and then they had to jaunt off to Wal-Mart for supplies (inside for Strider: "My god that's a shitty scan. It looks like someone stepped on it, then threw it on the scanner").
After that, ran down to the Dealer's Den and looked around, then ducked into Artist's Alley, and there, I met Duo. The exchange was quite funny. Here for your amusement.
Me: Well, if it isn't the artists formerly known as B.A.D.
Duo: Where the hell did you hear that God awful name?
Me: Well, I found you on VCL like 4 or 5 years ago, and have followed you ever since.
Duo: *stares, shakes head in mild amazement, then offers his hand* Thanks...
From that point forward, I'd periodically go check in and chat at him throughout Con. But that was a rather funny exchange, and I think we had some people in the AA staring at us.
From there I met K'sharra, Baka_sokunku, Vic Draconis, and a myriad of others.
Saturday:
Much lack of sleep and what not, but most of the day was spent hanging with Baka, Duo, K'sharra (they departed at one point) Beowulf (who just happened to be at the table with Baka, Duo, and co. when I sat down.) What ensued was a bit of brain breaking, on my behalf. My two favorite things said to me from Beo were " You're not allowed to talk about White Wolf anymore." and "I'm going -back- to the bathroom now...." oh....and also Duo vs. the cellophane baggie.
Then the riddlefest started. Which was amusing, I must say. Several riddles, a good....8 or 10 people participating. Jokes, riddles, logic puzzles.
Sunday:
I actually didn't sleep much between saturday/sunday, which resulted in a little bit of overlap. Sitting in the small common area near the message boards, with a laptop, looking up Misheard Lyrics, on youtube (if you haven't, go look, it's great) And gathering a crowd of people wondering why we were laughing so hard.
Late sunday afternoon was spent in the same area with Blazger, Duo, and several others, where I met Karno briefly, Verm, and....a few others.
It was here that I managed to break Duo's brain.
I do a bit of impression work, and he was working on a sketchbook commission for someone. We were talking while he was working, which at one point led to me doing Arnold Schwarzenegger saying "Yum, yum, I love cum."
Duo started laughing, and asked if I could say "I love to suck knotted dog cock" in the same voice.
After doing so, Duo took a moment to compose himself and stared blankly at the sketchbook, and proceeded to declare that the commission was dead, and he had lost where he was going with it.
A short bit later it was time to leave, which resulted in a massive group hug that included Duo, Beowulf, Blazger (i think), Verm, Jager, and a good count of others.
I will also be posting up some of the small bits of photos I took, and probably some art inspired by events from con (i.e. Duo and the cellophane baggie).
Looking forward to many more cons with these guys, they're all awesome!
Verias.
