MFF recap and Holiday plans
13 years ago
MFF was a great success!
Thanks a ton to
spiketxtyger for driving 
merystic and I to Chicago. By far the best roadtrip ever.
Arrived to a mess with hotel check-in (unsurprisingly). Had to wait a while to get a room, which
urbisromae took care of. He was even awesome enough to go back downstairs and request we be moved from the executive wing to the main section of the hotel.
Met so many new faces at this con, one of my favorite parts of going to a new con for the first time. We hung out with
TugtheUnicorn and 
Lucky-Pony a bunch, including having some local beers they brought for people to try. Thanks to the two of them for the hospitality and good times. Also met some locals including 
Burnide who showed us some good places to eat and shared what he knew about the area around the hotel. Also met some of Tug's friends, including 
Nyil and 
mits.
Also got to meet my double after much talk from Tug and crew about how they thought I was him when they first saw me. Turns out
JousterL is an ok guy once you get through all the goo stuff :P. Not only are we eerie mirror images of each other, but we actually have stuff in common too, soon to be one more thing...
Which brings me to Holiday plans, first of which is LASIK surgery. Drove down to Houston for a consultation this afternoon, and just recently regained my near field focus. Didn't know they would have to dilate my pupils for several of the 5000 tests they ran to see if I was a good candidate, which I am!
Scheduled my procedure for next Thursday, jumping into this thing head first before I can psych myself out about it all. Luckily I have had Jouster to talk to about how things will go before, during, and after the procedure.
Lucky me I got such a quick turnaround for the procedure, since I plan to be hanging out with
neoscottie, merystic, and 
rapier4 in DFW the weekend of the 14th if he is cool with us staying at his place for a few days of fun.
Then the next weekend it is back to Houston to spend some time with family, always good to visit.
If everything goes well there may be a big new year's get together somewhere with
Huduu and 
Sepiaa , who will visiting Huduu from Canada for a few weeks, as well as merystic, neoscottie, and maybe some other friends.
All that and a bunch of work, tests, finals, research, etc. to fill my remaining time this year. Gonna be pretty intense.
