AC report!

Yep, it's that time! That time I go and fill out that looong thing about what I did at a con over this past weekend!
FRIDAY- I woke up at 3:30AM after only getting 2 hours of sleep, ate, got ready, and drove to the airport for my 5:30AM departure for Charlotte (Sunrise at FL100). Get to Charlotte, eat again, then jump on my flight to Pittsburgh. Once I arrive, I jump on my supershuttle, and 30 minutes later, I arrive at the Omni, check in, and begin on my way.
I wanted to get my commissions started as soon as possible, so I went ahead and gave money to
(who was an awesome person to work with), 
(who was very relaxed, and had a great attitude), and I also got a very cute little badge from 
(who works fast, but does a really good job. Great to talk to, as well!). I also got a sketch of Sly Cooper from GoH Dev Madan, the Art Director for the Sly Cooper games.
Later in the day, I check up on FA just to see who's doing what, and sure enough, one of my favorite artists
was taking commissions. So, I snagged one from him. Once the dealers den closed, I went out to eat at Fernando's, which was really good. Even ordered myself a T-shirt! A couple hours later, I get a text from saying that he was at the zoo, and that the preliminary sketch was done. So I went up there and hung out with him for well over 2 hours. It's amazing to watch this guy work. He can even keep a conversation going!
SATURDAY- Woke up, remembered that my room was next to the ELEVATOR SHAFT. Skipped breakfast and went straight to the con. I eventually got there and got to meet
along with 
who was like "who the hell is this dude?". I then picked up a couple pieces of art that I had bought.... and that I still need to post, as well as stuff that I have drawn.
While I was in that area, I went back to Dev's booth to chat with him. He's a cool guy to talk with, and can keep a good conversation going. I even took a look through the Sly Cooper concept art book. HOLY CRAP there was a lot of stuff in that book, but it was neat to see all the "oh hey, I remember that part of the game" sketched out right there.
Went to 2's show as well as Kage's. Both were really good, and many lulz were had with a few of my NC buddies, as well as some new ones from PA (and sorry
, no one got NASCARed at this one... shame!)!
Near the end of the day I hung out in the zoo for a bit with
and one of his buddies. Attempted to draw, but didn't really get no where.
SUNDAY- Woke up, got dressed, and went straight outside for the shuttle, I didn't get to do anything con related this day, sadly. Maybe saw a fur or two that had to leave that day to get home and get ready for this thing called work on Monday. The ride was smooth, the Boeing 737 can deliver a good ride. Nothing beats a good, quality American made aircraft.
Welp, that's all I got, I really hope I can stay longer next year, and it's a shame all my roomies and ride bailed on me, but I'm a stubborn SOB. Honestly though, even though I get free flights, I -hate- flying to cons, it's so boring! You have no one to talk to you normally would, so next year, I'm driving.
