General
Okay I'm not good at these things but this will be the most detailed one I've ever done.
Thursday. Left out of Greenville SC at around 12:30 stopped in at the rest area around Lavonia GA and took a break then trudged on sleep deprived with my mates
mogthemeerkat and
corgibones. Arrived at the Westin around 3:15 and check my car into the valet and had our luggage sent up to the room. 4:00pm we hit the bar in the lobby and had a long island ice tea, the corgi had a white russian and we talked with Stormy Carlisle and went to the liquor store and got whiskey and other goodies. Few hours later hung out with
kovawolf
omnibahumut and
Moon_Mochi and chatted about past cons and listened to music. After many many a shot of the liquor, a hurricane and food at the Hard Rock we headed down to the lobby in suits and met
dragonmelde and
jenks in the headless lounge. At some point (time gets a little mixed up) we ran into
acefox27 and then all goes blank. Apparently I acted super stupid and stayed up into the daylight hours chain smoking and being accosted by homeless people.
Friday woke up from 3 hours sleep hung over with the mongoose and corgi and headed to the dealers den and commissioned my badges from
dragonmelde and
jenks also bought a sweet Rukis print. We gathered our things and headed out to find foodstuffs but kept getting lost trying to find stuff on the phone and ended up at a quiznos after being given direction from a valet worker at a hotel and told that the Bulldogs were gonna beat our ass.
Leaving out of quiznos we were yelled at by a woman in a toyota corolla to "Suck a dick faggots" and then experienced a man that looked like Josh Freese on mushrooms driving by asking if we knew were "motherfucking Gandolf" was. Headed back to the hotel and suited for hours and hours until we went to see 2 the ranting gryphon. After that we hung out with a few people and headed up to Kovas room and hung until the wee hours and then headed back up and took a 5 hour nap.
Saturday Woke up and headed down to the dealers den to collect our badges and then suited up for the parade. After doing the harlem shake and losing 5 pounds we went back to the bar and had a few drinks. In the dealers den I ran into an old coworker of mine with his boyfriend which was a mindfuck working with someone for all that time and not knowing they'd be there. All of us headed back up to the room for a break and suddenly another crazy ass mongoose appeared
mangusu
After chatting and singing Queen the mongoose departed to practice for the dance competition. We got ready and headed down to wait in the mile long line with
kovawolf and
omnibahumut. The dance competition started and we ended up hanging out with
phorphaux and
mangusu for most of it providing water and whiskey. After the dance we headed out to the Hard Rock and got more food since Hooters was absolutely packed. Came back up to the room and took another 4 hour nap.
Sunday we woke up gathered our things and checked out. Put our luggage in the car and had valet repark it. We walked around the dealers room for a bit and the corgi got a badge for a friend at home after that we said bye to everyone we knew and talked to Phor where he told us about his crazy adventures after the dance and that he was "more of a nuisance to the south than Hurricane Katrina". We left around 3:30 and got home around 5:30 and sat around all PCD'd out and bleh.
Overall the con was amazing and thanks to everyone for making it so damn amazing. This was my first con where there wasn't a drama train rolling around somewhere near me so it was better than any previous con I've been to. I know I ran into
turbo35 numerous times as well as
dragonmelde and
jenks if I forgot to mention ya sorry everything this weekend was a massive blur of booze, sleepdeprivation, and sweat. But for everyone I met and hung out with I'll miss you guys and hope to see you soon! Also this con was interesting because of the intermingling of all the different groups in the hotel (there were business conferences, a wedding, and many different clubs meeting at the same time during the con as well as drunken weekend sidewalk goers in ATL). Everyone was pretty chill about it and mostly asked questions then told us they thought it was fun and that we were very friendly and gave them an awesome story to tell when they got back to work.
Also
corgibones and
mogthemeerkat I love you guys so much! <3
