| Overview: | |||||||
| This was Saber's second convention and my first. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone in their costumes and everything, so it was an enjoyable time. We wasn't too sure about shoving 12 people in a really tiny room, but that's part of the con experience so all well. We set off from the college campus at about 7-8 at night, with signs taped to the windows that read "Nekocon or Seppuku". Each car (we had a caravan of 3 cars) had a little radio in it so we could keep in contact with each other. Many jokes were made over the radio and it was fun. At a rest stop somewhere in either W. Virginia, or Virginia one of the guys stole a sign that read "Temporary Men's Room". ...it was just too irresistable. We arrived at our friend Jew's house, where his mother fed us (she is an awesome woman, we love her) and some of the group promptly went to sleep. I slept a little bit, but not a whole lot. Instead, myself and a small number of us decided to take a 3 am hike to the local WaWa, which was a trip and a half. The next morning we stopped in at this awesome little Asian store and stocked up on pocky, then headed to the convention. And what's any con without their emergencies? Our car was seperated from our little train (we had three cars) and we got lost. It took us an extra hour to find the hotel. Once their we settled in only to have emergency 2 pop up. There was a small *cough*huge*cough* money problem, that even though solved, sent Saber into a panic mode... until I literally smacked her across the face then walked off. The funny part is that people thought we were having a lover's quarrel. Note: saber and I are not together, nor will we ever be. we just don't swing that way. But it was still funny as hell! The rest of the convention was just spent having a lot of fun and then coming home to discover we'd left our dorm room window open. We (my twin and I) came home to a 20 degrees F room... but it was just a funny ending to an awesome convention. |
