ACEN 2012 - Electric Bogaloo, Final Countdown & Planning

[Whendilin]

I'm doing this next year. I might even consider going to more cons. That was probably the most fun weekend I've had in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. Thank you everyone.

cons are always good times

It was after you left that I realized you were the one who sat beside me at Battletech.
Test robot is the best robot!

I am back home, flight made it quite ahead of schedule, guess we had a favorable wind.

In any case, plenty of pictures to upload, I'll have sort through them this week. I said it in the GroupMe (which was both the best and worst idea of the con), but I'll kinda repeat it for those who weren't on it and elaborate a little more for those who were:

It was an incredible experience to meet everyone and see who's behind the names that I've played with for a couple years now. I know I didn't get a chance to speak at length with a lot of you, but no worries, there were a ton of us and we had a lot of group stuff going on, so it's tough to get a lot of individual conversations going. Even still, I was pretty nervous about getting to meet everyone (honestly, I was shaking a bit!). But once we had the group together, it finally felt like I was seeing people I've known for some time, and you guys didn't seem like strangers, but the true people I've played TF2 with, chatted on IRC and Mumble with, and talk to you on here with. The moment I walked into the cosplay judging office and saw almost the whole group was great (and congrats on the group award as well!). I don't get to travel as much as I'd like, so it was a great opportunity, and I was glad I made the trip out there. Chicago's an interesting city (really enjoyed the Pizano's and Millennium Park trip, good call on that, Eightball), I think I'd like to see more of it sometime. I know I wasn't too involved as far as parties go, but it was a great time just grabbing some meals with you, marching around Merchcon 2012, being there for the photoshoot, and just getting to know you guys a little better. Can't wait to see what next year brings, I'm already really looking forward to it. Already thinking about getting a BLU Heavy going for that!

So yeah, thanks for making it memorable, guys, it was a lot of fun. I'm sad to see it end, but hopefully I'll still see a lot of you next year too. And even then, I'll be seeing you guys around here still, just in a bit of a different light than before.

Liquid and I were talking about this the other night, you hit it right on the head, TOH. None of you nerds seemed like strangers to me.

I like how I was following you guys for a few hours on Friday, and when I finally talked to you for the first time at the Merchcon area, you didn't realize I was part of BRBU.
