   I'm baaaaa~aaackkkk!
That's right, I'm back. Here's a synopsis of the weekend...

Friday, 2004.01.30 - Arrived at the Austin Marriott at the Capitol. Drove around for twenty minutes finding a parking space, and lost all confidence in the driver (let's just say he almost backed onto the IH-35 access road while getting the parcking stub). Proceeded to our room, then went to registration to pick up our credentials. Went to go to Koda Kumi concert, and discovered the OP ceremonies had not yet started (Koda concert was scheduled to be about an hour after the OP ceremonies ended). Attended OP ceremonies and was unimpressed. Went to Koda concert, which started about an hour and a half late. Listened to the opening act (whose name unfortunately escapes me) and was fairly impressed, considering it was her first concert ever. Koda came on stage, and I was fairly quickly disappointed. The audio system left a bit to be desired, something was up with the mixer, and she started crying about halfway through 1000 no Kotoba. My friends and I walked out of the concert, a little disappointed after the 1:30 wait. Went swimming and went to bed.

Saturday, 2004.01.31 - Woke up, ate breakfast, etc. Started to don Hiro costume, only to realize I forgot my belt at home. Went to gift shop and was burned $37 for a damned belt >_<. Went back up, got dressed, and went down to the dealers room. Bought Megatokyo GN #s 1 and 2, baka^ni shirt, 7 ramune, broken.miho poster, custom badge (you can see the picture above), and a Trunks poster and a Digimon ST for An-chan. Sttod in line for an hour to get Koda Kumi's autograph. Participated in the Cosplay event and as made fun of by the announcer. (Special thanks goes to the person who corrected him about Hiro if you're out there!) Went to the room to try to sleep. No success. Went the karaoke event and made an ass of myself to White Reflection. At least I think I did. Randomly wandered until six in the morning.

Sunday, 2004.02.01 - Woke up at 0650 because of a prank room service call. Went back to the dealers room, then to the web design panel. Left for New Braunfels at 1330.



As for the inevitable super bowl commerical question, I liked the IBM / Linux commercial and the NEXTEL commercial the best. So there.
