Highlights
- X Group: A statistical improbability. In planning, we had the entire cast (DoE, DoH, Kanoe, Hinoto-hime, and others). At the time of the group, everyone showed up.
A sign of the End of the World? Maybe, but still it was awesome.
- Xeno Group: Even though I was only there for the last five minutes, it still rocks. Still feel a little left out, seeing (at the time I got there) the only Saga support was a Shelley and myself.
- Meeting online people like Hinano, James, Lisa, and Adekii. It was quite the fun and enjoyable weekend because of that.
- Running into Adekii and spending 15 minutes playing with the Kaixa driver, the Kaixa pointer, and the Faiz shot. He was cool. I want a Faiz driver real bad now, or even a Blade Rouzer. *contemplates Toku cosplay*
Downsides
- The several personal injuries. I had a wierd stomach thing on Friday night after the X dinner. Then on Saturday, I f*cked up my knee. It's still a little stiff, but it feels better than it did while sitting on the corner of Hanover and Lombard.
- A lot of missed events. Due to acting self centered like, I made people miss events. Sorry for what I did.
- The Cosplay contest (not the Hall Costume Contest, but the skits). The skits were awesome (Kyle, Matt, and others - Your skit was awesome!), but the judges seemed a bit ...biased.
- The Brookshire Suites. GOD DAMN THAT CHAIN OF HOTELS TO THE SIXTH LEVEL OF HELL. Over priced, out of the way, tiny rooms, no vending machines, and inefficent money management (they still have the hold on my credit card even though I settled my room in cash.) The only good thing about it was the free breakfast buffet on both Saturday and Sunday, which can probably be manipulated by anybody that walks into the hotel because it does not check if you are staying there.
