GenCon and other news.

Ramblings of a Trash Cat.
Okay, overall it was a fun event.
Now there were some issues Wends and Thursday that could of made this event alot more fun in the end but they didn't. I had saved up about an extra 300 dollars or so more for GenCon so I would have something to fall back on in case of emergency or if I felt the need to actually spend a large amount of money on something fun for once.
Nope, hotel screwed us this time around and they tried to do it multiple times throughout the entire event.
One: Hotels should NOT charge 22 dollars per car, per 24 hours to sit in THEIR OWN parking garage. Why the hell would you want to tack on an extra 220 bucks to my account? Ruin my day? You guys sure did it. This instantly removed any and all extra cash I had to fall back on.
Two: Do not ADD a third vehicle onto my account under the 25 bucks a day/valet parking. I only had two cars in self parking under the 22 bucks a day, your NOT gonna charge me a extra 75 bucks for this, and I'm not gonna take it.
Luckily for me I kept my urges to buy crap under control and ended up with 60 bucks still in my wallet in case they overcharge me again... I still have the receipts and I was able to confront them over the valet parking for our mystery car... and got it removed though apparently they didnt contact the parking people and they almost didnt let us out of the garage because I wouldnt pay the 75 bucks. (I had the receipt still on me, so I was able to show them they removed it.)

In the end though it was still a fun con, won the Soul Calibur 4 tournament on the third day (Lost the first two to cheap players, but on the final day I decided I didn't want to play fair anymore and did the same thing they did... I won.. I guess I can be low and cheap if I want to as well.)
Got to try out Champions Online and Warhammer Online... just in time for Warhammer's Beta to reach me so I can play it at home now. :P I wanted to check out Dragon Age by Bioware, but couldnt get in line fast enough for the preview they had, was always too full. And Xbox 360 was there, but nothing too spectacular was seen.
Hentai Dubbing was a big highlight and was really fun, as well as again meeting furry artists there and chatting with people I knew.
It was a great event All and All. :D
And again.. I get to go for free next year.. woop!

As for Warhammer Online, I have a character named Wani on the Beta servers, cant remember the name of said server, but it's popular.. had lots of people on it, and could play low level characters. :3 I'll edit this post later with the name.

Vehicle charge sounds sucky, Congrats on the Tourney though, we should try playing each other again sometime. Any commissions or big purchases?
