Yyyup, cause I typed it all out for 
rhine_seleno so I may as well copypaste here XD Also btw, I am planning on doing a huge slew of replying to comments within the next day or two, so yeah :P
the drive was a bit awful :P hehe, I drove someone else down, and we didnt chat or do anything either down or back so warrrgh, and it was a 4 hour drive :P but meh, thats enough of that :) I got there Friday after the sketchbook swap event (boo) but in time to go to the dealers den and artist alley before they closed (yay!)! So I went and scoped out who I was gonna buy from, got a few started, and then went off to the con, where I wasn't planning on joining the talent show at all this year, but they were low on acts, so I figured "what the hell" and went and juggled XD Went pretty hardcore with it to and got a good act together, winded myself to the point of exhaustion XD and was voted 3rd place out of 5 by the judges ^^ 2nd to a magic act which kinda deserved it :D and a frieking MUSIC ACT GRRRRRRR. (the rivalry between everyone LOVVVVVING fucking people who can sing and HATING people who can do actual skill based stuff, aka music vs variety acts, goes on). So got a ten dollar voucher for the con store from that ^^ yay! But yeah XD hehe. so after that it was I ran into a buddy of mine AvianDebyrd ^^ went to smashburger with him, got a doodle :D then uhhhh yeah by that time I was suuuper tired from drive and juggling, so I sleeeeeped.
Next up on the main day, it sstarted with me going off to the dealers den and artist alley again, this time with my SEEEECRET WEAPON. A Bag full of multiple things of Chips Ahoy and Oreo cookies :) full size packages ^^. I find that, while SOME artists are a little insulted like "Wait, so you want to trade me, 3 dollars worth of food, for a sketch I charge double digits for? GTFO" others are like "OH MY GAWD I WAS GETTING SOOO HUNGRY NOW I DONT HAVE TO LEAVE MY TABLE TO GO GET FOOOD THANK YOUUUUUU!" and I end up trading foor for a sketch and sometimes more :D It's a great strategy ^^ and has helped me satisfy my artsluttiness for cheap lol. So after that! Had the Juggling 101 panel I ran ^^ this con was a bit thin on people who came to the panel, only 3 to start, but that was good too cause 1 had already been to the panel before at a previous con, and I was also able to give them all one on one style attention to get them juggling fast ^^. After that I went to check on my commissions before ending up at the charity Poker Tournement :D I actually wasn't intending to do that, buttttt I figured hey why not, plunked down my 20 bucks, and it went steaddily down from 20 folks, down to 2 tables, down to the final table, down to three remaining people :) I was number three XD hehe. Of course by then it was like, 3.5 hours into it and we were all getting suuuuper tired lol, so we were losing focus and I pushed all in when I really shouldn't have XD but it';s ok ^^ I got my 10 dollars voucher for the convention store for third place for it as well! I traded both of them for art with artists in the dealers den XD hahaha. I'm such an insatiable artslut lol. Anywayyyyy, so then I went to Subway for a footlong sandwich right as they were closing before heading back to the con and the tabletop gaming room, where I ended up playing Werewolf until 4AM! Ohhh man I just couldn't stop myself from going "one more game, ok one more game, one more game why not XD" Was worth it ^^. Got to the hotel room and passed right the fuck out lol.
Day three and a bunch of my commissions were done, and I collected them, happy with a majority ^^ and then uhhhh oh! went to the video game room where I got allll pissed off and salty because when I started a game of Smash Brothers, 2 of the 5 players were like, tournament level players. and they were playing like they were IN a tournement. Either camping off to the side or like, just killing the shit out of everyone. UGH was so annoying. Finally after going through like teams and such and even me turning on handicapp, which they negated by just exiting to the menu between matches, GRRRRRR, I finally won a round against them and went "THERE! HA! DONE!" Turned in my controller, and watched them play with my arms folded for a little while XD hehehe. then I finally had the big 4 hour drive back home, which I did, managing to not fall asleep on the road on two seperate occassions XD instead stopping strategiclly at rest stops and being safe, and then passing right out at home lol. sooooo yeah! good con ^^
