Title: NoBrandCon and Brawl in the Family
Post by: Pale Dim on April 16, 2011, 04:24:17 PM
You guys would not believe the day I have had. Especially you, Mags or Chuck. I was at an Anime convention for the first time, and wow, it was a lot of fun.

AND MAGS! I RAN INTO THE GUYS FROM BRAWL IN THE FAMILY!!! OH MY GOSH, THEY ARE AWESOME! One of the guys drew me a picture of Link. I am currently basking in the glow of it's awesomeness. U Jelly, Mags?

There was also a lot of...interesting...people there...You just wouldn't believe it even if I showed pictures.

My Dad got a really cool sword there too. It resembles the one used by Vlad the impaler. O_O If mom found out, she would have conniptions.

Also, me and Dad got some soda...you know, the kind of bottles that you have to push the marble into to open? Yeah, some of those. They were also awesome.

AND BEST OF ALL
I ran into an old friend. Apparently she goes every year. She was really not expecting to see anybody she knew, and neither did I, but here we are! And boy, did she look ridiculous!!!

EDIT: What else I got...I got the Manga for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and an Edward Elric plush doll.

Here's my blog post, for those of you without Facebook (http://havochaslife.tumblr.com/post/4676579932/my-first-anime-convention)

My friend David went to a convention today too! What are the odds? I heard the people were pretty ridiculous too :P

I am EXTREMELY envious of you dude. You lucky son of a gun you. I'll come and take that Manga from you XD

It's not Facebook in itself -- it's the fact that 99.5% of people who say "look at my Facebook account for more stuff" have theirs set up so people who aren't signed in can't look at it, and since I don't have, or want, an account, I can't look at their stuff.

Plus I don't even know where yours is...

You need an account to do anything at all, really.

Exactly why I hate Facebook and Yahoo.

Anyways, having read your post, it sounded like fun! I can't wait for this year's local con. We can also be Edward Plushie Friends now! :D

I've been to a con, I know. Although, it sort of offends me the way you say that, considering I'm one of those "Interesting people."

Ramune. Just so you know.

You can find all the LoZ manga in any Books-a-Million/Barnes and Nobles, but you don't look in the manga section, it's in the kids section, along with Pokemon Adventures.

Sorry if that offends you, its just that these people were interesting. Didn't find any other word to describe them. They certainly are not freaky, thats for sure.
