Day three

Moment of inspiration: Weekend long charity fundraiser for a regular at the con who has breast cancer. $600 raised as of closing ceremonies. It was announced that if they broke $1,000, they would shave the head of the founder of the con. $5+ and you get to pet his beard (it was an epic beard). $100+, and you get to keep the beard after they shave it off. Boom, $2,000 even. The beard had to be split 3 ways. The shaving took a loooooong time. Apparently it was like shaving your living room carpet.

New anime purchased:
Eureka 7 (because it's one of my favorites)
Watamote
Welcome to the NHK
Excel Saga
Kanon

Women made out with: 0, but somehow still came home with con-plague.

Hentai seen: more than the rest of my life put together.
Dayum boo, you didn't make out with no women? *shakes head disbelievingly*

Couldn't spend the whole weekend there, waited to long to try to book a room so had to commute, and saturday was a complete wash. Electrical blackout at home that had to be monitored so my cats didn't freeze. Cop drama over a neighbor shooting at someone, just a total clusterfuck. And it was a new con for me with a mostly new crowd, totally threw me off my game. I'm not good with social situations to start with, I only do halfway decent at sci-fi cons because I know the score, and spend the weekend drunk enough to be charming. This was a no booze event. I could have gone into one of the casinos, but even at those prices, that gets super expensive fast. No bigs, I'll make up for it at the next one. I'm also so in the habit of 2 showers a day at con that I feel gross if I don't get it. Some will get accused of con funk, but it won't be me.
I'll try anything once, and twice to be sure.

Welp, everyone had to start off somewhere....
My will, as it were.
To Zek, get over the fucking kittens man.

To RisiR, you'll always be my favourite hater.

To -SpectraL, you're one of the only people here who can insult Arnox without ramming it down his throat.

To Arnox, fuck you.

I've always wanted to go to one.  Really should sometime; I know they happen regularly in Denver.
How often do you even watch anime?  Can you count the number of series you know on your hands?

Why do you ask?
