... well after staying up alllll night saying my goodbyes to id (and stuff) i figured it was time to get up and pack my stuff for the trip. Expertly packing two costumes, a ps2, reading material, personal items and some extra clothes into about five bags; i was ready to hit the road with my friends. our first stop was an hour later where we picked up Adam in Austin.
5:30 pm: are we there yet? are we there yet?
finally arriving in sights of Dallas i snapped a few shots of the city's beautiful skyline. we then proceeded to waste another half hour locating the airport and figurinmg out how to park at the hotel.. what fun... -_^
6:00 pm: Badges? we ain't got no stinkin' badges!...
...well we got there, checked in, dropped off allllll of our crap and i proceeded to seek out my Staff Head. This was answered simply with "Elaine? no haven't seen her? Badges? oh she has them." greeeeeat...
7:00 pm: I'm sorry i do not have that information at this time.. maybe never...
checking the con out, seeing one of the soon-to-be 8 other Yunas... i walked around trying to kill time... finally i caved in and asked about my con head once again. this time, i got help... and got stuck in a booth. an informationless info booth. ^_^ yeah... with this guy:
can you see my overbearing excitement? can you?!
9:45 pm: Hi! i have one copy of the schedule and one copy of the map.. how can i help you?
... well after almost three hours of explaining to con-goers that we couldn't hand out schedules yet because the copier room was locked until 7am, i finally gave up hope of Elaine's "possible" arrival at the booth. besides the staff meeting was in 15 minutes.
10:00 pm: Remember these three little words: How Can I Help You?...
well the staff meeting started, still no sign of Elaine, though mr. 1974 assures me that she does exist and has my badge. the meeting was fun, we learned who not to call for help and who to go to for free booze.. j/k -_^ meeting ended, i asked, one last time, got an "Attaboy" for manning the booth without any knowledge or request to do so. caved in to sleep... sleeeeeeeeeep... ZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzzz
