And then there was Comic-Con.

I am SO glad that you had such an amazing experience there, Carrie! :D

SDCC seems to have "opened our eyes" to us long-time anime con-goers. Kinda like, "Wow, there are cons out there that feel like an actual vacation and aren't super-stressful or dramatastic? SIGN ME UP!"

[celesmaxwell]

After all that I'd heard about it, Krys said she hoped you all hadn't built it up so much that I'd be disappointed.

NOPE.

It was everything you all said it would be. I am endlessly glad that I went!! It was worth the cost.

[sillywhims]

Haha, well, I mean I'm sure there's some that might not have the same life-altering experience when they go and be like, "Wow, you bitches totally lied about this con being awesome." But hey, it's what ya make of it. *shrug*

One must want to enjoy oneself -- you are absolutely right on this. I did want to have a good time, but I didn't have to TRY for it! :D

Even if I have to skip 2012 in order to save for 2013, I'M DOIN' IT.

YEOP! :D

Actually, Krys, if that bird never POOPED ON YOU I don't think we'd have won. Let's hear it for the glorious pigeon!

[sundancekat]

YAY PIGEON!

That is such a wonderful story, I am so happy you had such an awesome time. I really want to get to SDCC someday and this is just a total inspiration to push harder to "move on" from anime cons, where I've felt stagnated.

The seed was planted last year at Otakon when Kat texted me, "You're Lust XD."

The rest is glorious, amazing, and mind-blowing history.

[yuushi]

Hah, I think I remember you getting that text last year!

[roserevolution]

That sounds wonderful. Yeah, after this recent Otakon, I'm just not feeling anime con masquerades. (Still going to ass around with friends at Katsucon though).
