[A-Kon 21] Pocky Fuelled Brutality
Back at work after a weekend I now dub “Pocky Fuelled Brutality” – that is A-Kon 21. We had a lot of fun, but the con was very large, and very long by our standards. It kinda blurs, so here are the high points :
- Ursula‘s fans are, as always, awesome. We were honoured to meet all of you, and very happy y’all came out.
- Why didn’t someone warn us that Anime Fans do not, in fact, sleep?
- The con staff was amazing, and I hope we expressed that adequately to the ones we had the pleasure of talking to through the course of the weekend.
- Never, ever, ever let an energy drink company give away product for free at a con. Ever. [1]
- I am more of a bear than Randy Milholland from the neck down. He’s got me beat from the neck up.[2]
- J. Grant is one mad motherfucker.[3] I look forward to the next time he, Mel, Ursula, and I can hang out.
- Jennie is, as always, awsome.
- I may have fanboyed over Raistlin (AKA Ebenezer) just a little. He didn’t seem to mind.
- There were fewer height/weight inappropriate costumes than the last Anime con I went to.[4]
- The Dallas people are awesome, and we do want to go back. Maybe next time for fun, and not just airport-hotel-con-hotel-airport[5].
- If I never hear the term “buttscratcher” again as long as I live, I might die happy.[6]
[1] To the NOS Energy Drink distributors who were giving that shit away in bulk : I hate you with a hate that burns like the very flames of hell powered by a nuclear rage.
[2] I blame genetics.
[3] You know Two Lumps is awesome, but did you read Flem Comics? You need to read Flem Comics. NOW. From the beginning. DO IT BITCHES!
[4] Although it was fun introducing one friend to the term “Sailor Bubba”….
[5] That’s a lie – we did spend some time outside the hotel, mostly Sunday night, which J. documented gloriously.
[6] Seriously, whoever decided that the Family Guy “Buttscratcher” bit needed to be the con’s verbal meme needs to die in a fire. While being molested by flaming weasels. Flaming rabid ass weasels who have been fed large quantities of Pocky and NOS energy drink laced with crystal meth.

Can I say how much I agree to [6]?
Ridiculous amounts.
RIDICULOUS!
