:: Back from AC08 ::Posted 10 hours ago
Hi guys hows it going? Well Sorry for not posting this sooner, i was gonna do my whole report on FA first but since FA is down, im gonna have to settle for here instead.
Its been 2 days since i arrived back home form Pittsburgh and im just still taking all in the whole AC experience. Honestly now i really wanna go back to more cons, and just try to be closer to this community, AC has shown me that warmth of people, the kindness, and the just crazy antics that happens sometimes. I loved basically every bit of the con, there where a few ups and downs, im not gonna lie. but i think still it was worth going. the Day we arrived (with Yamibliss, Arius, and Illution) we had to wait for out room to check in (In the courtyard Marriott) and it was gonna take 2 hours, so we went directly to the Westin just to see whom has arrived yet, but we were jet-lagged sweaty from a 7 hour flight and all of us wanted a shower. so luckily Yamibliss got a call form the Marriott like 45mins after we were at the Westin and we left to wait on showers. After so, we went back refressed and ready to mingle. :3 I was awesome, there weren't a lot of people there yet, but we still had fun and got to do a few trades, i got to meet Dazen, Kal, Notveryathletic, papayakitty, Kazewolf, and a few others, was also hanging out with Skech and listening to his shenanigans and it was a chill night. Thursday was multiplyed by people, i was on my way up to 3rd floor of the Westin to get in the Ballroom aka the Zoo and i was greeted by Zer and Panda, which was cool. heheheh so then i went to do my pre-reg line to get my con badges and bag-o-goodies and then in the zoo an to just draw and stuff. then prepping for the Ally on Friday, i got in, i was so happy and i wasn't the only one, i was flattered that everyone else cheered for me. it meant a lot to me and it was kinda funny too, well that day i made $140 that day and went to the zoo to continue on the commissions i had lined up that day, i was sitting next to KKitty23, Gah she made me laugh so much that she distracted me during the Ally. then At the zoo i got to hang with Pall and with Soba, and they had come back form the Artshow ceremonies and such and i was sitting next to kkitty again at the zoo also with Blinque and TashaFox, but then KK kinda disapired on me so i didn't wanna leave her stuff at the zoo, so i went up to her room and left her stuff with Yuni and blaits. Also that day i lost 3 badges i had printed and laminated out....that bothered me a lot. : / Saturday i also got in the ally again and i managed to make $260...even though i made 2 commissions for Bondage Bob.... NEVER AGAIN. that was the creepiest moment of my life. x_x but i did get to meet, KodaDax and Rottie. they were so nice and sweet. ^____^ and many others as well. i really wasn't eating i was most of the time nauseous during the zoo, so bad that i had to step out and just try to draw in the hallway. Mind you almost everyday before Sunday i would have 2 hours or less of sleep. So being in the hallway i encountered Tashafox and Justin with his buds and just talking then KK appeared and her fangirls too XD, but it was cool, i did get to draw out bauske's piece clamly and i went back to my room around 4am then i took that day to sleep, and didn't hit the ally, but i did get to cruse around the Dealers Den and meet artist and such, all were so nice and very friendly ^^ sometimes i just didn't know what to say ^^;;; cuz im dumb like that, then i just went outside of the center to the hallway and did more of the Saturday commissions while hanging with Koday, Bluebane, Arius and Illution, also Foxywolf was around having fun. then back to the zoo and i finally got to eat something after days of nausea and i was feeling better. other things also happen that weren't to great but at least most got resolved. On Monday we had a day for ourselves, we went to movies and got to see Wall-E which was a masterpiece, i cried i admit it and i have no shame, it was a beautiful piece. then we went to the cheesecake factory and drooled and bought some cheesecake XD and took it back to the room. then just did more little trade between us and went to sleep. We left PA on Tuesday there was a big flight delay form PA to Newark and then we made it literally photo finish to our connecting flight to San Juan. @___@ it was nuts, on the plane, i had just a lot to think about, all the people i meat, how much i just wanna be on my own, doing my own thing and finish school and just living my own life. I got home and i just cried on my bed after everyone went to sleep. well i got online and saw FA down, and i was running some updates and now i can't open: Skype, Safari, Yahoo messenger, and my System update... that personally scares me. 4 programs and i can't open them, and I've tried everything and now I'm realizing how old my computer is and i dunno how much longer it can handle. what next, PS? ArtRage? i won't be able to work...and i don't have enough for a new one at the moment, the money i made is for my annual maintenance of the car inspection and i helped out a friend at AC as well, But i hope i can save enough to go next year and to get a new Mac tower for my computer. but as of right now...i can not Skype, of there any other program that is like Skype (and mac friendly), tell me and I'll download it so i can voice with people, its my only phone i got. So that basically my trip and yeah i had a lot to think about and even a few things i thought i knew have changed in some way and hopefully next year I'll come more pre-paired and I'm gonna be aiming for a dealers table too. |

i can't wait for FC tho because it will be a bit bigger than califur, we are staying two extra days to site see before we head back home.
i also can't wait to meet all the furs!!
i am glad you had as much fun as you did, and i wish you good luck with the computer.
me and cryptic will be switching over to a mac in about a month, our pc is on its way out, and cryptic is just fed up with vista. so we are going with my favorite, a mac pro. then after that we are going for an ibook pro. cryptic uses the computer enough to need, and buy a nice one. so we are just waiting for Aflac to pull through and we have ourselves a new computer
ours is very close to complete and utter failure.. so i know how you feel!!!
