AC Report!
13 years ago
A bit late, but I haven't had much time to rest since I got back!
Rode out to Pittsburgh with :mistertastee: Sparkz and
jouva. We arrived there a little ahead of schedule *gives Sparks a bro-fist under the table*, dropped off Jouva at the Westin, checked into the DoubleTree, got our free cookies, parked the car, and checked out what was happening at the Westin.
Stuff I got to do:
Gave
WolfPupTK lots of hugs.
Played Cards Against Humanity with drunk Giza.
Drank
ABoxofDeth's alcohol.
Took a picture with
rpolack while we were both in suit (he's the only other person with a suit made by
Lurch!)
Hung out with Anna-chan,
bmagus,
Kojac,
tzup,
RinTheDragon (but made her lose the cap to her sonic screwdriver >.>),
Icepaws, and
spottacus a few times.
Saw
FawksBeaumont and
ZotCoon, but didn't spend anywhere near enough time with them!
Saw
Huttser-Coyote and heard his trademark huttsercry!
Got on the local news's YouTube channel! :D
Found out Mica's name!
Saw
tigersclawswiss and gave him a piggy-back ride.
Saw Jim Martin and his wife Crystal again, and gave them more dates. :3
Took my mom and sister to their first fur con! (only Sunday, but I'll be taking them to some of the local meets, too! :3)
Bought arts.
Met new people, like
DJZing and Zenthur (whose real name is so cool, that I want to see his driver's license to prove it's real :P)
Things I missed:
Sardyuon's performance.
Getting a photo with
MontyC when we were both in suit.
Dancing in suit (the main area was so full of chairs in the front, that I didn't feel confident that I could run back to headless on my own, and I wasn't in suit for Zing's set).
Given that the first list is so much longer than the second one, I'd say it was a great con! (and if I left someone out of the list, let me know!) Definitely gonna hit it up again and again. A lot of people say AC has lost some of the coziness that smaller hotel cons have, and I think that's true, but I think it also had a very unique feel to it, too. My feet hated having to do so much walking, but it was also such a neat feeling that we're big enough as a fandom now to take over a convention center, a hotel, and still be spilling out into the streets!

My....trademark cry? I thought the smell of cookies was enough!

OP
You've got this very distinctive "aaaugh!" of yours, especially when someone's just glomped you from behind!


Haha! Oh, really?? I had no idea!
