I really had a true blast there... the hotel, it was amazing! I got to catch up with friends a bit and had a great time all in all. I got to eat at a Fudruckers! I haven't eaten at one of those since I was a kid... The Wonderworks was a really neat adventure too! Informative and fun!

There were good parties, midnight swimmings, excellent Sunday Breakfast, the Arcade saw me a few times too (Though not as much as last year).

And while I would have liked to have gone to the Magic Kingdom, needing to be at work at 5am kind of convinced me I didn't need to go.

Oh, and  amberyn77 took this utterly cute video of me handing out cookies.

Not that I didn't already post it before, but it makes me smile to see it, I was completely unaware of that happening. I really think the background singing of  rhubarbthebear actually fits rather well in feeding the menagerie around me.

I got to meet new people, got some great photos, and all in all had a really good time that was relaxing!

Then I came home and had to work, blech.

Photo dump is here...

Oh and one of my personally big highlights of the gathering... Shaking the hand of Rob Paulson!

Don't know that name? Well, he happens to the voice behind Pinkie, and the original Raphael the turtle! And Yacko Warner! And he sang the Yacko's world song. He's a really amazing guy and I got some tips on Voice Acting and learned of some books to check out too and websites. I enjoy using my voice and actually want to get some ideas I have posted up here someday too.

So it was kind of like getting to shake the hand of a childhood hero, or several in a way all at once. Even though Donatello was my favorite... which he is going to be the voice of in the new Turtle show coming out later! Sqweee!

There Breakfast at the hotel was pretty amazing too, if a bit pricy, but the quality and variety were the reason why. Quite amazing, and I had the time there to meet plenty of others and I made some good new friends!

I'm looking forward to Megaplex coming up and also Jullie Bunny must Die being presented there too as a musical. That should be hilarious. :)

There will be cookies at Megaplex...

In fact, there should be LOTS of cookies at Megaplex as not only will I be bringing some, but expect  holliehyena to be bringing plenty too! And who knows what else.

I'm happy for that and look forward to it.
