Post-FC report thingy
14 years ago
General
Rather than provide a huge report, I'm going to take random snippets I can remember of the con and post them here.
-I thought I could pack light, and actually bring along my bicycle to the con. I was wrong; I took the big bag I had instead, and just got a ride to the local mass transit station. BART to Fremont, VTA to downtown San Jose, walk a few blocks to the convention center.
-Despite leaving what I thought was early (1:30 PM),
still beat me there. Guess traffic was pretty light for him.
-Hotel room was surprisingly nice, I felt; though the convention center seemed to be ridiculously big. A long walk from the Hilton to where the action was.
-Why was pre-reg so long? Don't remember it being nearly as big last year. Are people finally wising up and pre-registering as they should?
-Got some nice compliments for my pony shirts: a Big Macintosh cutie mark shirt, and a more-subtle Diamond Dogs Mining & Excavation shirt. I feel pretty good about that.
-Got up around 8-9 every morning of the con just to go to the Dealers' Room and get a commission from an artist I like. I picked them up from
, 
, and Tix from the Tix-'n'-Roo table in the Dealer's Room. I have no clue as to what their FA address is, though; if you know, could you please tell me?
-Sega Genesis is still popular; played some in the hotel room, brought it down to the gaming room and played some there, too. It's always more fun when you've got someone to play with/against.
-Made a few new friends, saw a few familiar faces. Nice seeing you
and 
! Also, thanks 
for the Dr. Whooves pin; goes great on my hat. :D
-Panels were decent, if a bit spread-out. MLP panel was unsurprisingly packed, the live animal demonstration surprisingly so; they ran out of room for people.
-Did a few art trades, will probably post those up soon...also got a ton of commissions/request works. I feel like such a whore now. :] Oh well; restitution shall be granted when I figure out where said restitution needs to go.
-Stayed with
and a few of his buds Sunday night; had Pizza Hut pizza for the first time in...years, I think. Decent stuff; stuffed crust was still as tasty as I remember, though you couldn't eat it every day.
-I don't think I ever got more than 5 hours of sleep any night of the con; I'm definitely feeling the effects of that now. Sore throat, general tiredness, on-and-off headache, a nose alternating between runny and stuffy...actually, I think I've come down with a cold. Oops.
And that's that; see you later!
