Animazement 2015 – page 02
Technology in general just seemed to hate Animazement this year. The same time that my prints weren’t getting done, it seemed like EVERYBODY’S car was crapping out on them. How THIS vehicle somehow ended up being the one that DIDN’T spontaneously fall apart in the middle of the trip is a mystery that will never be answered.
No, seriously, ask anybody who’s ever traveled to a con with me in that thing. It died several years ago but nobody told it.
(Historical Notes: This was an exaggeration for comedic effect at the time, but that’s pretty much what the van actually looks like now. I officially stopped offering people rides late last year, as while I’m still willing to gamble my OWN safety and convenience on that hunk of junk holding together, I’m no longer comfortable risking others.)
I had forgotten I wasn’t the only one that weekend who had car troubles, that June was a wild month for me without a car.
At this point, I think my van continues to function solely as a cruel cosmic joke on everybody else who’s had their car die on them.
