Since it hasn't really been brought up all that much yet, I'd like to cover something in particular. In the end, we were bringing someone who we didn't know firsthand to the US for some 4 days' worth of fun and excitement with which he wasn't entirely familiar. Still, Mizuki-san proved to be friendly, sociable, polite, patient, understanding, open-minded, amicable, appreciative, generous, good humored, a good sport, and is indeed quite experienced with the about the whole anime/manga/video game scene to boot. We really couldn't ask anything more from a guest. It allowed the entire weekend to go off without a hitch. He's also well-spoken and articulate, which allowed our dogged translator to easily turn over any information. It also allowed anyone with knowledge of the language to pick up on the conversation.

Story time ahead filled with notable events and such will be for later when I have more writing time. Ugh. I miss the people already, too.

Edit: My work inbox contains more than 300 messages. Back to reality!

You guys are awesome. I wish we could stay together forever. I hope I get to make a return trip sometime. Here's to hoping we gave Kogasa enough comic material!

On another note, did anyone else catch con plague? I have influenza. I dunno if it came from the con or the airport.

I started showing Flu symptoms around 1 PM today actually. I hoped it was just food poisoning but sounds like I've got about a week of aches to come D:

I'm fine, but then again I bought plenty of Vitamin C and zinc before the con, and made sure to take some every day

The alcohol might have had something to do with it too

Was pretty damn tired but that's about it. Didn't help that I slept only 4 1/2 hours overnight to catch my plane, though I added 3 hours to that on-board and upon arrival.

Better eat up on fruit, vegetables, and vitamins to offset this easily.

I wonder if I can bribe Benny into snagging the Touhou panel at next year's ACen. I would feel a lot less bad about inviting guests to the con then, with someone from MotK behind the wheel.

It probably wouldn't be very realistic to expect this kind of thing to happen again, but I can dream. ;-;

All seven people that went with me from North Station to Fitchburg are just fine.
Although, I did break out the hand sanitizer on quite a few occasions during the con XD

Hooray for having to make yet another one =D

Whew, back home after a train ride that took entirely too long. If I had to choose between catching the sickness or spending almost 24 hours for all my train rides, I'd definitely go with the latter. I don't know what it is that I do, but my immune system seems to just not care about anything.

I really should have taken more photos of us eating or sitting around the karaoke room. Lord knows there was a lot of both of those. (On that note, the karaoke room was a bit of a mess. Occasional equipment failures, excessive setup time, and a strange insistence on using YouTube over slow phone internet for some songs even if the singer had it on their own device)

Now waiting watching warmly for the story arc that will unfold at the hands of Mizuki-san.

UncertainKitten wins the Best Mizuki-san Autograph Award, hands down.

Went to work straight after landing in the airport from Anime Boston so I was sort of dead and stuff after work. Got a cold the next day but that's nothing out of the ordinary.

Also remind me never to drink any alcohol ever again, I think I have a tolerance of zero or something. Maybe wine won't hurt as bad but that's not a convention kind of drink.

Don't need to know, although it explains your low tolerance :V (Well, somewhat because I know some people simply cannot take alcohol at all).

Ugh, perhaps I should have taken said advice.  I've become striken with conplague as well.  *goes back to burying self under blankets*  Well, at least I can keep an eye on the recording.  Looks like the Boston tourism is fully uploaded and we're starting to get into the con, so I may as well throw the link up.

I'm glad things worked out so well! I had to cancel my trip about a week prior due to my mother-in-law going into surgery (she's fine now.) I hope to make it back up next year, though
