Just got back from Momo-con!

General
So my bro,
cj-fox and I just got back from a convention called "Momo-con" in Atlanta, GA.
Lets start with the adventure to.
Just a regular trip, nothing too special, but about 3/4 of the way there, I actually turned the radio to this one station that was playing Saturday Morning Cartoon song intros. We heard Captain Planet, The Tick, TMNT, Power Rangers (first season), and several more. We had a massive dose of nostalgia!
When we got to where we needed to be, he had to find the convention center... That took about 30 minutes... After we got in, we had to wait at a registration line for about 2 hours. Its surprising how many people show up when things are free. Fortunately there was a lot of entertainment to keep us entertained: Karaoke, A LOT of cosplayers of all kind, I brought my DS, and there were people to talk to. Fun, fun!
So soon we got in and got our badges. Not even 2 minutes when we all get in, my brother goes his own way, and CJ and I head to the shop area. A lot of cheaply made goods, yet somehow awesomely made. because a lot of it wasn't officially licensed. Fortunately, I found a few artists and bought a few prints. Some of those artists are even part of Deviant Art! One random person even drew one of my characters for me! In return, I drew one of her characters. In the time it took me to draw her character, she sketched 4 more... [PWND]
There were a few gaming sessions, tournament, and anime watching rooms but I was in and out about that stuff.
Overall we had a fun time, even in if the adventure and wait was longer than the stay itself. I know for sure I'm gonna hit up more cons and next time I may cosplay, for the fun of it! I'd like to go to Furry Weekend Atlanta, but I don't think I'll have to money to get in. Oh well. The year's young. There'll be more cons.
Artists I saw (I hope they don't mind this Plug...) :

http://juliejubz.deviantart.com/ (I bought a print from her)
http://madmagnus.deviantart.com/ (I bought a print from him)
cj-fox (Given he rode with my bro and I)
Now its time to up my art ante! I'm off!
