Ok, AFest report...

SUCKED!!!

Those of you that didn't go, be glad you didn't... There was like nothing to do there... Seriously, most of Sunday, we just sat in the room watching porn. At least til the dance started, then there was some drama or something going on... I don't really know cause I stayed out of it. (i have my own problems that I was worrying about)

Ok, so here we go. Thursday, get to the airport, plane leaves. Arrive in Dallas early, go thru hell trying to get the Super Shuttle that I had made reservations for. Finally get to the hotel..... First off, the building across the street from the hotel (Reunion Arena) was being used as a shelter for evacuees from the whole Katrina thing. So we had that looming over us. Then, the hotel itself was being used as a staging point for incoming search and rescue, and FEMA guys. They would go to the hotel, eat, sleep, get briefed on stuff, then head out to ground zero. And there were tons of those guys around. So already, you know it's gonna be weird, what with having lots of kids running around in costumes, and then there's these guys about to go into a giant graveyard....

Anyhow, get to the hotel, check in, and wow... This hotel was beautiful. The look down from the walkway was breathtaking. I do a little unpacking, and decide to watch the Cowboys game from the hotel bar. Do a little drinking with the FEMA guys, and yeah. Head to bed. I was the only one in the group here at this point.

Friday. Didn't get much sleep. Get up, and Suger calls saying they're here. So I go down, meet her, Newbeh, and Socknin for the first time, and head in. Nothing too eventful yet.

We want liquor. Eric and I go on a beer run. I get directions to an Albertsons in the area, and we start walking... 15 minutes later, I look at a map of the city (since all I had were street names on a sheet of paper), and we had walked about 10 blocks... We had another 25-30 to go.. x.x;;; We give up on the Albertsons, and decide to drive to a Super Walmart, since we needed some other stuff too, like Tylenol and makeup for costumes. So head back to his car, start heading the way the directions say to go, and BAM....like 4 liquor stores... XD So we stop, get the goods, and head back. He got a 12-pk of Smirnoff Ice, a 6-pk of Corona, and a small bottle of 100 proof vodka. I just got the vodka, thinking that would last me the weekend.

So in the room, the drinking begins. Suger's gone, Newbeh's gone, Socknin's not so gone... He didn't seem to be having a good night... And understandably so. As for me... Of my cute little bottle, I drink about 3/4ths of it. Yes, 3/4ths a bottle of vodka... With Mt. Dew chasers none the less.

Holy fuck was I gone... XD

So we all head down to the rave. Phlinx is already going at it, so's Mint, Tolarin, and Levi. And I join em. Yes folks, Kris finally raved.. =D Drunk off my ass, but yeah.. XD

Highlight of the night, or at least for me... Two of em actually. One, they played Follow The Sun, and I start jumpin around....drunk... I kinda twisted my leg pretty bad... Bad enough that I couldn't walk for a couple minutes.. ^^;;; But then I'm right back out there dancing again on one leg.. XD Then later, they played Night Of Fire, and Mint and I are like the only ones doing the Para Para for it.. ^_^ Mint's awesome like that.

I think the ultimate highlight of the night was that near the end, everyone else was down for the count, except Phlinx, Mint, and me. And I suck at raving, yet I was one of the last ones standing. b^_^

So the rave finishes, and we all head to sleep.

Saturday. Wake up to Suger bitching about how she's not gonna sleep in the room because I snore.... This kinda pissed me off.... A lot in fact... So much so that it ruined my mood for the rest of the day.... I'm nice enough to let the girl stay in the room for free, and she's gonna bitch like that? That's pretty shady if you ask me.... =/

Saturday was boring as fuck... The cosplay started like 2 hours late, so it started at 10pm. Same time as the dance was supposed to start. But it was Greg Ayers spinning. I knew it wasn't gonna be good, but everyone went anyhow. I went for a bit, but I was in such a bad mood that I just sat there doing nothing. Mint came to talk to me, and I appreciated it very much, but I don't think anything could cheer me up... I just went back to the room and talked to Kayoubi on AIM and Jessica thru text message for the rest of the night. The two of them did manage to brighten my mood, but I still wasn't happy.

Sunday, more of the same... Nothing going on at the con. We had talked about it all weekend, but on Sunday, we finally ordered the unlimited porn package.. XD So half the day was spent sitting there watching porn.

Newbeh, Eric, and I went on a supply run the middle of the day. We were gonna ride the train up to the West End to a CVS there, and see what we could find. On the way, I found out something very disturbing about someone..... So I'll be kicking their ass when I see them at Oni, along with a couple other people... Then some other stuff happened, that I won't mention here. But yeah. We get to the CVS, and they have a small supply of liquor. Got a 6-pk of Ice, a can of pringles, and a mt. dew. Not much, but good enough. Head back, and yeah. Suger goes for the drink, I finish the little bit of vodka I had left, but didn't feel anything. I knew I wasn't getting drunk that night.... =/ Now at this point... Phlinx had already left. He wanted to take Mint, but she wanted to stay. Levi wanted to go, but had paid for the room already. So like, everyone didn't want to be there, except Suger.

So they all go to the 3rd dance, but I stay in the room. I pretty much spent my night watching TV and talking to Kayoubi on AIM til 2am. Those were good times.

Then we have Monday. Everyone leaves around noon. My Super Shuttle ride isn't showing up til 1:30, so I'm by myself for a while. It shows, I get to the airport at 2, and I have 2 hours to sit around and do nothing... -_-;;; Talk to Kayoubi for a bit more, along with anyone that happened to be on AIM while I was bored out of my mind.. Heh. Got back to Chicago, my parents picked me up, then we went to Cheeseburgers in Paradise. Was alright....not something I'd go to everyday... ^^;

Get home, start unpacking, talk to Kayoubi for a little more, then slept.

Woke up today for work, talked to Kayoubi, got some bad news... (or at least bad for me, but that's neither here nor there), and yeah... Didn't have too good of a day... =/ It's not your fault tho....just bad timing is all.


And that was my weekend. Some goods, some bads, some really goods, some really bads.

Honestly, if I had it all to do over again... I probably wouldn't of gone to the con. I'd of saved the money for Onicon, or paid bills, or something. But AFest was so totally not worth it... I mean, it was great meeting guys like Newbeh, Socknin, Mint, Tol, etc... But yeah....



I need to change my life, and now. My only problem is I have no positive encouragement in my life... I don't have anyone to be all "you're doing good" and crap... That's why I don't think positive about myself because noone else seems to.

But I'll save that for another day... For now, I promised Jessica I would get on FFXI and level DRG... So I'm either gonna do that, or play poker, which I haven't done in a couple days.. XD
