That’s Saturday night, for you: just staying up out of sheer determination. Darn it, the convention isn’t over until we SAY it’s over! (Historical Note: I want to be making some kind of joke about how times have changed and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It seriously was a city down there, and VERY easy to get lost. I’ve been to whole conventions that took up less space than that one room. Ironically, for all the wandering around I did, I didn’t buy a single[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is why I always show up early to photoshoots… and why that’s really a silly thing to do. We actually got a lot of cool pictures that weekend, though. DIGIMON POWER! (Historical Note: Wow, the first page of Conventional[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
