Fair is over · 11:22pm Oct 20th, 2014
Well, the Crystal Fair has come and gone once more. Still didn't meet up with any friends or fans, but I did see some familiar faces once again, such as some of the staff and even Lamia. It felt good to meet people who remembered me.
Overall, it was a fun time. The convention was much better set up due to the feedback from last year, the game room had more to offer, and the art room had even more artists show up. Needless to say, I shopped til I dropped and probably bought more than I should have. But isn't that what going to these cons are all about?
The whole thing was great, though I ended up missing the closing ceremony at the end when they started drawing out the charity auction like nobody's business. Throwing in an extra five items is funny, but throwing in twenty is really pushing it, especially when you throw in an egg salad sandwich that spawns a new OC pony. Yes, people. Pun Salad is a thing now.
Still, a great experience and it hurt to see it all end. I will definitely be back next year, hopefully to see some friends and fans. I was dealing with a serious low point and even depression recently, so I really needed this. It's good to be home and I'm glad I went.
Glad you had a fun time. I would go if not one, location. Two, travel time. Three, low self-esteem. Four, it'd be VERY awkward for me. Five, my brony side is a kept secret from most of my friends, my girlfriend and family; my mom and brother excluded. Six, the costs of attending. And so on. Believe me, if all the people in the world would show respect and not try to provoke trouble for being what we are, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

I'm a convention of one!
