Megaplex 2014 Report :)
11 years ago
After about a week back, it's finally time to report on the fun time I had at this year's Megaplex
Thursday (7/24)-
After a relatively uneventful flight, I got to the hotel and relaxed. First member of the Little Tales crew I saw was
kittybird while I was waiting for 
holliehyena After a bit, Hollie arrived with her hubby Treb and I got the room that I would be spending the next few days sleeping in. I met the first of my three roommates, 
starallon before putting my bags down and started to prepare my bag and badges for the con. Not too long after that, my second roommate 
arisuvixen arrived and we hugged before I went across the hall to give Hollie her gift, another of my specially made CDs.
After a bit, I went down to the main lobby and waited for registration to open. :) Once 6 pm rolled around, I got into the sponsor line to get my badge and con gifts. Once I got my stuff, I walked on over to a table where I got to talk to
genesisw for the first time :) I gave her both a specially made CD and small bucket full of Dell's Frozen Lemonade mix as a gift :) After a little talk, I got up along with Arisu and Allon to help Merrihop and 
foxenawolf unload 
gensuriel's truck. After helping bring the supplies to their room, there wasn't much to do but wait until the bowling event. I saw a few more of the LT group in the meantime while I was trying to stay awake.
Later that night, we went with Hollie, Jeazel, Arisu and Wolfwings to the Bowling alley to see what was going on. While I was there, I came across Buck (aka Husky In Denial) whom I had roomed with more than once with at RCFM :) After a bit, we headed back to the hotel then went up to to the room where we met our last roommate, Fermented, who's flight had been delayed. After that, I got ready for bed and settled in to get some rest.
Friday (7/25) -
After a decent rest, I got up and showered and watched some TV before changing for the convention. I went down not too long later and made my way to the main ballroom to check out Opening Ceremonies. The Ceremony was funny and relatively short so I hung out while waiting for the Dealer's Den to open. Once it was open I walked around a bit before settling down beside Gen's table where she gave me the most adorable badge! :) I hung out near her table for a bit, greeting more great members of the LT community and purchasing a copy of Little Tales Book #6 (signed by Gen) before I got hungry. I then excused myself and started to walk, making the fateful decision to head for the nearest Wendy's by foot..which was just over a half a mile. I got my lunch to go then walked back. By the time I reached the hotel, I was drenched in sweat..I cooled myself off before eating. I then went back to the Dealer's Den and hung out off and on until closing time. After that, I hung out around the lobby and then went to video game room to play a couple NES games (TMNT and TMNT 2). After that, I made my way to the dessert social where I had some chocolate cake, some vanilla ice cream, cheesecake and key lime pie. The rest of the day went by without much else going on. I went down to check out the first night of Karaoke before heading up to the room to sleep.
Saturday (7/26)
After another decent sleep, I watched some TV and showered. Arisu got me some hash browns from Denny's which held me over though the morning. Once I was ready, I went down to the Dealer's Den to hang out with Gen where she gave me many wonderful commissions, including my 'murder' card, postcards of Shane with his daughters and Marina and best of all, the Little Tales comic that she had done for me. :) I then excused myself and headed for the brunch :) At the brunch, I had some rolls, a salad, some delicious turkey, mashed potatoes and some chocolate mousse along with some lemonade. Once brunch was over, I went back to the Dealer's Den to see Gen again who asked if I wanted to have my comic laminated to last longer. I agreed and she did so :) (Thank you Gen :)) After that, I walked over and commissioned
mosa for a pin-up pic of an older Marina (when I got after the con..here's the pic http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14155642/ ). After that I got caught over there watching the Fursuit Parade. Soon after I went back over to Gen's table then got up and headed upstairs to the Brony meet and greet, where I met more MLP fans and saw some really cool fan made plushies :). Once that was through, I went back down to the dealer's den where I hung out near Gen again, talking with more of the Little Tales group and commissioned Gen again until the Dealer's Den closed. After that, I walked around the lobby and hung out and checked out the 2nd night of Karaoke then headed to the lobby to hang out (and almost fall asleep) until I went back up to the room to rest.
Sunday (7/27)
After a decent rest, I watched some TV and showered before getting ready for the last day of the con. After getting some breakfast at the Sponsor Suite, I went down to hang out at the Dealer's Den and talk to Gen. Soon I got up and walked around, getting a copy of Fox's Overlord Comic Book #1 (with a sweet pencil sketch of Shane in the minion outfit :) Most of the rest of the day was spent hanging out with Gen, talking with several of the Little Tales community, including Rebel, Uncanny, CoyoteCanuck, Jaezel, Hollie and Rosemary..and I got to meet
starknights for the first time :) I hung out mostly there, only leaving to get some lunch up at the suite, until closing time. Along with others, I helped Gen and Fox pack up as the den closed for the weekend. After closing, I went up to the room to relax before the LT Party. At the LT gathering outside, I hung out with many of the great people whom I had met over the past three years. The party was fun with so many laughs throughout. After about an hour or so, the party ended. I got a nice hug from Gen where she thanked me for being her con buddy throughout :) After all that, I went up to the con suite to hang out and have some food before heading up to the hotel room to watch some tv before getting some rest. Allon had already left to make his way home, so the last I saw of him was in the suite.
Early in the morning, I said goodbye to Arisu who had an early morning flight before going back to bed.
Monday (7/28)
After resting a bit more, I got up and Fermented had already left to catch his flight. I got up, watched some more TV and then took a shower before finishing packing up. I packed up the items that Fermented had left behind to take down to the lobby before leaving the room one last time. I dropped off my room key then went to the lobby to hang out for a bit. The last member of the Little Tales community I saw was Merrihop. I gave her the items that Fermy had left behind then gave her a hug before she left. The rest of the day went by quickly. I caught the 6 pm shuttle back to the airport. I waved goodbye to the Hotel before heading to the airport.
-I had a lot of fun at this year's con. Though I didn't attend as many events as last year, this year was still so much fun. I would like to thank Hollie for getting the rooms for many of us. You are such a great friend :) It was great to meet Treb for the first time.
Thank you Allon, Fermy and Arisu :) It was great sharing a room with you guys :) Especially Arisu who was really sweet around me the whole con :)
Thank you Rebel, Jaezel, Uncanny, CoyoteCanuck, Uncanny, Aramis, Rosemary and Starknights :) It was great seeing and talking to you all.
Thank you Merrihop and Kittybird for the great conversations in the dealer's den and in the lobby. You two are always so nice :)
Thank you Mosa for the amazing commission of Marina that I received just yesterday in the mail :)
Thank you Fox for the Great Overlord comic and the awesome book sketch :)
And a very special thank you to Gen for bringing us all together. :) You were especially nice and patient with me throughout the con and during the party :) Thank you again for the adorable badge, the delicious biscoff spread, the excellent postcard commissions and the wonderful comic page. :)
I apologize to anyone I omitted :) You all are wonderful as well :) A special thanks to the con staff for putting together such a wonderful convention.
To those who couldn't make it, I hope that you all can make next year's Convention :)
Megaplex 2014 was such an amazing Convention. After the past two wonderful years, I will definitely be making Megaplex an annual event :) Can't wait to see all the wonderful members of the Little Tales community next year at Megaplex 2015! :)
