King's Island Stuff
13 years ago
Well, I'm back in Canada now. Just got home under an hour ago as I write this.
I arrived in Ohio on July 27, around 3pm-ish. I made a surprise visit to
mr~morris, and we went around town for a while. On Saturday, I went to the first King's Island meet. Got to the IHOP a bit late, but still had a good breakfast. Met Neko, Kerk, and many others that I unfortunately forget. I also met later that day
Dexter_1983,
~ami~,
whitekitteh, and a few more. Again, my memory isn't the best.
After getting lost from the group, again, last seen was
KerkFikan and
Chayce in the que for Diamondback, I wandered for a few hours, and ended up having to go to the first aid station. After a little while there resting, I felt good enough to head back out. I made a few calls and eventually found Kerk. We got to go to a restaurant that I again have forgotten the name of, serves these great 3-way chili spaghetti dishes, very great.
On Sunday, I again met up with Morris. We went to a church nearby, which was quite a change for me. I typically go to a Baptist church nearby, but this was Lutheran, which I actually haven't ever been to. We later went to a game store to attempt to sell some game units, [if Atarii units with no extra parts included interests you, see
for info. They're near antiques, still look to be in great condition], and later to Speedway.
Monday, I do not recall well, but I believe I was working with Morris to upgrade my linux machines. That turned out pretty well, and am reasonably happy about that.
Tuesday, much similar, I don't remember a whole lot.
August 1st, the second King's Island meet. Finally got to meet
kenson,
RikkiRaccoon,
Punkcat and others.
Again, got lost. However, I was able to follow a tail the whole time. Or more lead it.... So, I wasn't really totally separated.
I got lots of pictures this day.
A huge thanks goes out to the furrs that donated some cash to help a hungry coon get breakfast. I'm sorry that I can't say who, because I don't remember, but you guys know who you are.
I also went on my first roller coaster that day, Backlot Stunt Coaster. Supposedly a very mild ride, I was barely able to pry myself off the front bar.
Doesn't sound near as bad as the one that
Mr~morris went on. Rikki managed to convince him to go on. I saw the start, and I have no doubt why he didn't want to go back on.
Thursday, spent a lot of the day with Morris, got pizza, saw Kenson, and played a few video games. More I watched. Kinda upsidedown. :P
And now being Friday, I spent half the day on the road. I will definitely have to go back. Plans are already incubating for me to move there permanently. It felt so much more like home than I do in Canada.
Pictures on their way, once I get a little more settled.
