Back From the Con

Momoko and I attended an anime convention this weekend. I took Friday afternoon off so we could drive up. We stayed at a hotel that was close to the convention hotel. We caught a panel on Voltron. All the paladins were played by girls. They had a lot of insider meme jokes. We bolted two thirds through the sessions.


We slept in a bed that had a slope down towards the ground where our heads rested. Breakfast was a cook to order meal from the hotel. One elevator was out of service the whole weekend. We left out car parked in the hotel parking lot the whole weekend due to overcrowding.


I went to a panel on Sheera by myself. It was a whopping one and a half hours long. Catra had organized the thing. Glimmer was a star. Sheera was played by a friend of Catra and did not offer much. They answered every question I could think of asking.


We finished up the panels with one on Saiki K. I thought we were doomed because there were two lines to get into the small room. The real doom was the presenter. She could not offer any compelling reason to watch her presentation. Almost everyone left early. We persevered to the end.


After leaving the hotel and conference, we drove a ways to the vendor exhibit at the old Hobby Lobby. I found a super deal of two prints for $5. I purchased a total of 4 prints from Jonathan Miller. Momoko loaded up on buttons. We drove my McDonald's for sweet tea, large fries, and McChicken before driving home.
