So, I'm back from Sonic Boom(and San Diego in general) ! It was very exhilirating to be surrounded by my own kind. People whose nerdiness can outdo MINE.
Thoughts:
-Crush 40 / Cash Cash was just epic. They almost forgot Live and Learn and I was ready to pimpsmack someone. I also discovered Alex Makhlouf apparently likes to eat his microphone since parts of it go into his mouth. Well then.
-Previews of new games. Seeing Sonic's role in Wreck It Ralph, the confirmation of the SA2 remake, etc. What was not to love?
-Takashi Iizuka in person to answer questions. He isn't the best at English but even he cringed a bit when hearing "Will there ever be a Sonic Adventure 3?" Entire crowd starts shouting, "SA3! SA3!" When he asked if there was any demand for Marine the Raccoon to come back, entire crowd shouted, "No! DX"
-We had a trivia contest, that was neat. I wasn't one of the lucky participants, but I knew the last question. How "Who was Sonic's uncle in SatAM" is a hard question, I do not know.
-My friend and I met a pretty awesome guy named Sean. We stayed with him the whole 4 and a half hours. He's working on a series for Adult Swim, and we wished him luck!
-Costume contest. Winners are Mecha Sonic, Eggman and Tails in 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively. "Coincidentally," Mecha and Eggman both used a bit of Japanese in their catchphrases. Tails was just adorable - a 2 year old or so kid dressed in full body costume. Iizuka and Senoue were on the panel, so it's no surprise there may have been a WEE bit of bias. Seems I'll have to practice my Japanese for the next one. :P
-I believe I met Evan Stanley and her boyfriend,
Cirotin in person at one point, but didn't know it at the time. I feel sorry for not sounding more interested in what Evan was presenting! Sometimes I lack emotion in my speech. I'll have to apologise to her on her dA!
-Sean said apparently the next one might be held on the East Coast. I hope not, or I'll be very sadface. ...wait, no. I forgot, airplanes exist. XD
Well, that's it. It was a great 4 and a half hours. About 800 people attended. Summer of Sonic's bragging about selling that many tickets in a matter of minutes, but when was this a competition? :P
I shall return to your normal porn broadcasts.

But that trivia question... "Who was Sonic's uncle in SatAM"? You serious, that was classed as hard? =/
But wow sounds like you had a blast, shame I couldn't really hear much of Crush 40 when I went to SoS (they played more in the last hour when I had to leave to catch the train =-=).
And yeah, the whole crowd shouted "Chuck!" at the first question. The hostess couldn't even pronounce "echidna" right. xD
i need money and transportaion to gwt to these thing XP
Bare in mind not everyone has watched all the Sonic anime, it's like only recently I started watching the series and I barely recall his name, people are too focused on the games though, they're more canon to sonic's life adventures, where canon is even possible.
This place was filled with hardcore nerds so if any of them didn't see SatAM, I predict they were flayed at the door. xD
...parking cost 40 dollars though that was kind of bad. xD
