Xanga: An update
MOOD: Patiently waiting for Mia to return
WAI~~!!!! Mia-chan's coming home tomorrow! Oh, I'm so happy!! ^_^
But, on the other hand... I still won't be back until the 10th of August. Well, at least I can finally call her. That's a consolation. watashi no koibito... <3
Um...so...an update. Hmm....oh! I went to Connecticon this weekend, and it was fun. Eh...lets see what happenned.
I got there at 11:00 AM, and parking was very hard to find (they were actually finishing the construction of the connecticut convention centre). I went in, bought a pass, and walked around for a minute before I realized I had to go up a floor. ^_^
For the first while I was in the dealer's room, looking at all the things to buy. (I had $100 minus the admission [$20]) So anyways, I called up some people and asked what they wanted, spending a bit of money. After that, I walked over to the game room, where they had Halo 2 (among other games) on projection tvs. (four huge ones)
A few hours later (heh) I went back into the dealer's room and bought more stuff. After that, I watched some of the Cosplay Chess match. It was very...humorous. Many inside jokes about different series. ^-^ fun!!
After that ended, I visited the Dealer's room one final time, then attended some panels by various webcomics. One panel had the people from: Applegeeks, 8 BIT Theater, Ctrl-Alt-Del, VG Cats, and Penny Arcade on it. (Tycho is a bit odd, Tim Buckley is cool, and they all don't like when crazed otaku barge in, interrupt, and demand when the next panel is going to be) I sat in on the "Comments and suggestions about the convention" panel. That was good. A few other people and I volunteered to be mindless minions for the convention staff, in order to get free T-Shirts that said "Volunteer". Amazing what people will do for a free T-Shirt. (nods to "Moogles Gone Wild") Anyways, we volunteered, and I got to pick up all the stuff that stupid people leave lying around. An unopenned box of Mechwarrior figures and a bit of manga later, and I was done. On the drive home I listenned to the Audiobook of Al Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them", read by Mr. Franken himself.
That was a fun day, and I can't wait to give out all the presents I got everyone. (NOTE: Stuff is expensive at the convention, so the people who answered their phones when I called got the first choice. If you didn't answer, I probably still got you something, but it might not've been what you wanted. I apoligize.)
