Anthrocon 2013 Report
12 years ago
General
Arrived Thursday at 3 PM. The drive was uneventful, aside from leaving a puddle of radiator coolant in the Taco Bell parking lot in Breezewood.
Ran into
DarrenZeraus in the Zoo, which was fortuitous because I was staying in his room along with
ShaneRufus
We retreated to the Omni along with Shane’s friend Rakana.
We ordered pizza with bacon. Pizza arrives, topped not with wimpy bacon crumbles, but real honest-to-god fried-and-put-on-a-pizza strips of bacon.
Little Miss Muffet, sat on her Tuffet, eating her curds and sharing needles.
Actually taking candy from a baby
24-hour media coverage
Suicidal thoughts
I kinda regret not going to the Thursday night dance after we finished our game, but eh.
Wandering to and fro
Friday late lunch at Fernando’s
2’s Rant was excellent
Yup, I still love the Anthrocon raves. OONST OONST OONST
Roommates were all asleep when I returned after 3 AM.
Roommates were still asleep when I woke up Saturday. Carnivores, eh?
There were a lot more people at the car meet than I was expecting. My 1974 Mercury Cougar was the second-oldest car there, and as a bonus I got to photograph my Cougar with a cougar. Lapped the convention center right behind the Yukon blasting Macklemore.
Cruised the dealer’s den
Watched the fursuit parade
Saturday late lunch gyros from the Indian restaurant
Red Dragon Inn
Story Hour!
Your mom moons a Prada display
Can You Read It? didn’t seem as entertaining this year; maybe because now I know what to expect from that book. They’ll have a new book next year.
Sunday, finally had time for the art show, and picked up a few more prints in the dealer’s den
Lunch at Hanlon’s
Xenochu!
Closing ceremonies
The con’s over? Yeah right. One of these years, we’re just not gonna leave.
Got a sketch from
Blitzava in the Zoo
Didn’t have much to do, so I wandered back to the room around midnight
Drove home Monday; I was planning on taking the scenic route, but after the first big uphill grade I pulled over at a scenic overlook and my car was gushing boiling radiator coolant. Hm. Interstates it is!
