I'm in the process of dumping all of my photos into the Poosh thread, for those interested.

FILM AT 11 IF WE'RE HOME BY THEN

ANCIENT JERSEY SECRETS
SKIP WORST OF TURNPIKE
RECEIVE HAPPINESS

I got to meet Makoto Shinkai and shake his hand and he complimented my Mami costume and thought it was nifty I teach science and used Voices to explain relativity and thought it was nice that MJP and I were married and loved his movies and and and and and I'm a silly fangirl basically.

He did ask about MJP also being in MORNING RESCUE.  My theory is that it's the Japanese equivalent to dressing up as the Hamburglar.

This just in: interchanges 3, 4, and 5 all take you to I-295, which runs directly parallel to the Turnpike and get you spit out onto Route 1, which then can let you jump onto the Turnpike AFTER all the Six Flags and car/truck lane split.  After that it's a clear run back to 1918 town, ya hoser.



Also MARYLAND SUCKS

Was it Silentsword we were driving next to?  Delaware TOUHOU plates?  If so, I greatly enjoyed exchanging gestures with you as we drove through MARYLAND SUCKS traffic.  I also enjoyed seeing everyone and hanging out at the con.  Hopefully next year I'll get to be the dude version of the little girl and have fun too. 

GOOD TIMES

Correct indeed!

Waiting at the airport with Greyn; our flights are in about 9 hours. We have wifi access thanks to McDonald's though!

Finally got back home not too long ago. Con was awesome, 1 hour and 40 minute late Greyhound bus, not so awesome... >: I'm shocked the engine didn't give out.

Now checking through the photos I managed to snag up.

Good to see everyone had a blast at Otakon! Wish I could have been there, but I made my decision not to.

...And I paid for it. No having to go to Jury Duty last week or this one. I... I could have gone!! :colonveeplusalpha: Well, okay, there might have been another factor or two (may have only barely had enough money, some scheduling and hotel availability issues cropping up...), but still. Oh well, I used some of what money I had collected to buy myself a PS3, so I suppose it's not all THAT bad in the end. :V

...Oh who am I kidding.  :fail: Maybe next year (or maybe AUSA... ...or something...)?
Did you bring a light?
...No...

I just joined the forums here (actually happened upon this thread while I was phone-googling for the location of the second photoshoot this weekend), but I wanted to say hi-- I was the lone kappa hanging around Friday and Saturday. I had a really good time at the photoshoots and panel, and got approx. eleventy-bagillion pictures, which I will post some of on the flickrs soon.

The Mamicurls are indeed fabulous.  I felt awkward since people kept being like OMG HOW DID YOU MAKE THEM??? and my answer was "send money to China and receive wig in the mail please please ask me about how I made basically anything else instead! I can go into soooo much detail especially the corset goddamn that corset"

Thanks to everyone for the welcome! At this point I think it's passing out time, but I managed to grab the best shots my husband got of photoshoot #1 and compile them into a set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sleepy-slug/sets/72157627204068777/

I actually have one of you, too, Triangles, but your eyes are closed: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sleepy-slug/5996427241/in/photostream

Got home a little while ago, after an exciting trip up 95 full of turns I didn't remember existed and other turns I could have sworn went the other way. Very thankful no one was in the car with me for that hour; I wasn't actually falling asleep, but it was impossible to keep focus for lengthy periods of time. Thankfully all of Eastern Massachusetts shuts down at about 10 PM or so on Sundays so the roads were empty.

Exciting weekend capped off with the exciting discovery that my computer refuses to load Windows! Oh boy! I'll be relegated to my phone for the time being.
