Heya everybody, i know that AC ran from June 15 till the 17th, however my vacation lasted all the way from the 13th till today on the 24th of June. This is what happened on that trip :3

On the first day of my trip i flew from Love Field in Dallas to Austin to spend a day with and and it was fun! we went to go see MIB 3 (go see it, it's infinitely better than the second movie). Before that though we decided to go to the mall and just chill. There are some badass video game stores in the mall we went to, they had everything retro, modern and everything between. I actually was able to get a new charger for my old DS so that worked out nicely. I also got to play that oooooold arcade game House of the Dead with for a good long while, we almost made it to the end. Of course joined in on the ridiculous shooting fun near the end and he did quite well i must say hehe. Anyways after all that we went out for dinner at Red Lobster, then went to dna's place and watched Mystery Science Theater all night while talking about AC, our characters, story ideas, etc. It was hella cool watching the masters at work in drawing badass stuff hehe. even helped me design a new character of mine: Natalia. you'll get to hear more about her later.

in the morning we went to the air port and flew to Pittsburgh, PA and that's where we met who flew in from his own town. I've known the big purple dragon for a good long while before then but it was no less an awesome experience. to be honest he looks pretty much exactly as i pictured him, but in a good way ^^ the four of us rode to AC and got situated. After that we had fun meeting a few people that i'll mention later :3 We explored the city for a while with  voco_letum's guidance.

Over the course of the next few days i met AMAZING people! I managed to commission and of course my dear friend However that's not all i did of course, i also got to do a trade with it was so awesome writing something out and in return receiving awesome art by that awesome panda. Even more flattering to hear how much he liked my work! Even more surprising when i was recognized by a second badass by the name of hehe he and his wife were such a hoot! i'm actually currently in the middle of a trade with him, but i'll say more about that when the time is right. I also got to meet  beckycascane  badgerben (LOVE his style so much!) (who is a computer genius btw, seriously :3) (it was indeed a pleasure meeting her, gonna do what i can to commission her when i can ^^) and of course the one person i enjoyed meeting... so much was in all honesty she was the one who hooked me into the fandom. her art is amazing and takes my breath away. I wanted to commission her but i couldn't snag a spot *head desk* maybe next year.

on the last day of the con i rode with  ryuakira and  zero-shift to the airport, it was so sad parting with zero how i wish he could've come with Ryu and me to stay with us at my place. Both of them are like my brothers *blows into a tissue* X'3 <3

Needless to say i had a wonderful time hanging out with all people mentioned so far and so much more. the artists i commissioned were all very polite and kind. I could go on and on about individual experiences with everyone but then it'd be way too long haha XD if you do have any questions just post a comment as such or send me a note. (also there are likely to be people i forget to mention and i'm REALLY sorry if you're one of them, feel free to slap me if you're such an individual)

okay well after all that  ryuakira stayed with me in DFW for over 5 days... it was awesome. He was a very gracious guest and he loved my dogs so that's also cool. we spent a lot of time at my home in my room or in the game room. i would work on my writing and he'd work on some drawings while we watched more MST 3K and Red vs Blue. some of this art as well as my writing will be posted in the near future, just need to be patient my friends =) we also went around town to the zoo, art museum, comic store and many other places. My parents were awesome to treat him and me to see Brave and dinner. He and i also got to play/chat with some good friends of ours including  ryoku7 and  shinfox ... DAMN those were some fun chats XDD Ryu and i also got to chat with  neodokuro haha she's a unique brand of awesome

yesterday ryu and i drove to austin to meet up with dna again and hang out, but not only that, we also got to meet dna's family! squeeeeee! they are such awesome people! oh my GOD it was so much fun meeting them. every single one of them down to earth and fun to talk to. I even plan to go see them again in the near future if i can help it. Anyways dna, ryu and i got to play an awesome game with the family called... okay i forget what it's called but it's like a 17+ version of Apples to Apples and fuck... that is one funny ass game! i was laughing so hard i got a workout.

so after all that we drove Ryu to the airport and gave him a proper goodbye, it was so hard doing that too. having him in my home for a week it almost felt like the normal thing at the end of it all XD dna then drove me back to his place so i could get in my car and drive home and now i'm here.

So that's it in a nutshell, a big thanks to all of my friends who helped make this the experience of a life time. I always felt included and accepted so i must thank you all for that. For those of you who couldn't be there this year i really missed you all and hope you will be there next year cuz i sure as hell am gonna make plans to be there again one way or another =)
