AC Complete
14 years ago
Back home from AC and a week with Mozee afterward. Had a good time, not exactly thrilled to be back in the daily grind.
Ended up being less active than I intended to at AC, but that's what usually ends up happening. Spent most of the convention chilling with Nemo in the zoo or wherever we happened to end up and saw a fair amount of Odendo, LQ, Woods, Dayken, Nate, and other people passing through. Didn't do a ton of drawing but it seemed like more than I've done at a convention in a while. I have a habit of getting all excited about doing all sorts of things at whatever convention is coming up and then just going into full on chill mode when I get there and spending most of it sitting around. It's not so bad at AC though, since there are a fair amount of people I only see once a year there.
Spent surprisingly little time in the game room this year. Played a song or two with Milt after the RB tournament was over, played a couple songs in DDR...that was about the extent of it.
Had a dope lunch with LQ and discussed careening, smoldering, and reduction with him one on one.
Saw Mozee throw down with the other dancy guys a fair amount (as well as win the dance competition! way proud of him for that), they had some nice circles going throughout the con. Ronnie, Atsu, and Blue were really tearing it up as well, saw some very cool stuff. I really need to work on my dancing. It's something I enjoy, but I've really slacked off since I initially got interested a few years back and really have a long way to go to catch up to people. Just need to make myself do it more so I can find some style that works for me and run with it...though I've been directing most of that sort of energy towards turntablism lately.
Met some new people, Nargleflex is a cool dude. Futonmania and Yorick were pretty cool to hang with, had fun gaming a bit in their room the first night of the con. Spent time with Abby, not really a new person but I hadn't talked to him in years, also a really cool guy! Got to sit down with Mozee and Milt and chat with Media a bit the last night of the con, really nice guy with a lot of interesting stuff to talk about.
So yeah, it was a good time all things considered. I always end up wishing I'd spent more time with various people and it always feels like the con is over just as I get into the groove of things, but that's just the way it is. Getting to spend the following week with Mozee definitely helped take the edge off, and I had a lot of fun seeing friends in the NY and PA area, but all trips have to come to and end. Train ride home went smoothly (sort of got to see a fight! some tool got dragged off the train and slammed onto the trunk of a police car at the Buffalo station) and actually arrived a little bit early.
So yeah, back to boring life for a while.
