"It's just Juggernaught"con, Day Two · 6:38am Apr 20th, 2014
I don't even know why I'm writing this now. I'm so friggin' tired.
I bought some Grenadder art and a Pinkie Pie pint glass for my wife. Hung out with Statoose some more and saw some interesting panels.
The main meat of the day was a fanfic author get together in Xepher's room. Got to meet Pen Stroke, Totallynotabrony, Bradel, Law Abiding Pony, Bronywriter, Horizon, Ocalhoun, Benman, Andrew Joshua Talon, Ebon Mane, electreXcessive. And I got to briefly look at Regidar. He came in right as I was leaving, and he was gone when I came back. Super Trampoline and Leonzilla were there, but I'd met them the day before.
Anyway, drinks were had and BS talked about. Also, a story that probably shouldn't see the light of day was started. It seemed… unstructured. And vaguely sinister.
I'd love to go into more detail here, but I'm fighting to stay awake. Bradel passed on a hello from Bookplayer, so I appreciate that, Book. Maybe I'll meet you one day.
Oh, and I got to see and listen to all the writers and VAs from the show, but what's that compared to fanfic kvetching with such a talented group?
Sorry about prying you away from Regidar with my poor timing.
For an unscheduled, last minute gathering, we did pretty good, eh? I mean, that's what I love about these cons. Screw the actual "show talent" I'll take a group of slightly drunk fan authors any day.
That's so cool! I wish I could go to BABScon and meet popular authors.
Dammit, I've got to stop reading these updates from people at BABScon; the jealousy is becoming overwhelming.
2027130 Oh, it was fine. It was actually kind of nice to get away and walk for a while. That room was kind of hot.
2027345 Honestly, that was the highlight of the con for me. I really enjoyed meeting everyone and talking shop. The panels are fun, but I'll take an author meet-up any ol' time over them.
2027467 It was really fun. I'm lucky that a HUGE con has appeared very close to where I love. I've been in the same pining position you are in the past when I think of Everfree NW and Bronycon. They are so far away...
2027524 After the implosion of Las Pegasus, I had reservations about this event. They've really done a great job with it, though. There have been some hiccups, but everything of this size will have them. Overall, it's been a really good time, but that author meet-up was probably the best thing. I really enjoyed talking with everyone.
None of that probably helped you any, did it?
