AnthroCon Report
7 years ago
Con was great! Brother and I have come to realize that we're horribly out of practice when it comes to attending any sort of Con, we've known we were going to be attending AC this year since December but put very little thought into planning anything for it beyond where we were staying. It was nice meeting up with people we haven't seen in a while and bumping into a few people I've only met online, was surprised to find out there were quite a few people I didn't expect to see attending this year.
Between moving to a new place and paying off all the bills I really wasn't able to commission all that much art this year but honestly that probably worked in my favor. Still managed to hit up some great artist during the con and was even able to get my brother to commission two pics while we were there. The rest of the con was spent socializing with whoever we happened to find walking around or in the Zoo and exploring Pittsburgh within the surrounding area, didn't realize we were so close to the cultural district so we'll be better prepared to check out some broadway shows next time we head up that way. Had some really good Italian cuisine for dinner Saturday, regret that we hit the end of our budget since otherwise we probably would have eaten there again before we left.
The trip back was mercifully uneventful, flights were all smooth and we ended up making it back about an hour earlier than expected which meant we didn't need to call a cab to pick us up and got to spend time with dad before he took off to work.
Gotta give shout outs to
carrot,
ebonyleopard,
kayla-na,
rgibson,
thepurplehusky,
lizziebean,
gnaw,
darknatasha, &
michelelight for letting us hang with them and the amazing art. And to whoever it was that let us whoop the snot out of them in Tekken/Killer Instinct at the Zoo sunday night, had a lot of fun! =3
