And I mean survived almost literally. My bloodsugar is probably 1 billion or so because I drank so much Pepsi. I can't even look at a soda bottle for a while.

Heat, booze, walking, more booze, costumes, booze, more walking, concerts, booze...

Did I mention the booze?

I won't go into detail in this blog about all that happened because it would take too long and I'm still recovering.

But a couple of quick highlights.

1.)Meeting and hanging out with Ray Parks (Darth Maul) We went and got drinks and just chilled.
2.)Voltaire concert - got to hang out afterwards and got a drink.
3.)Got molested by Cthulu
4.)Got molested by a couple of hot chicks when I was dressed as Silent Bob.
5.)Stormtroopers EVERYWHERE!
6.)Checkin out chicks with Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) "I just play a gay robot on TV", he said.
7.)Meeting some of my favorite comic artists and getting shit signed.
8.)Getting picks taken of myself (as Silent Bob) and my buddy Danny (as Jay) with Buddy Christ.
9.)I saw so much boob and hot booty this weekend it was unreal.
10.)Survived a Mosh pit at the Godhead concert. Actually got to pick some people up and toss em back into the mosh.

I'll post more details and hopefully some pics once I can get them all off the cameras and all the videos. Theres alot.

The downside now is coming back to reality. Part of me is glad, but a big part of me feels out of place. At the con I felt at home. People who shared all the same interests, and people who worked in the careers that I've wanted to work in since I was a kid.

Its hard to come back to the mundane and plain. So I've made a new goal for myself. I plan to get out of this mundane existence of Aiken. I plan to begin drawing more and trying to get a decent portfolio together and taking it with me next year to Dragon*con to show off. Hell...maybe even buy a booth and see if I can sell some prints.

But this sitting infront of a computer screen and making business cards and letterheads is very unfulfilling right now. And it brings me no joy.

So basically it's like this...if I want this kind of life, I have to make it happen for myself. And now I have the resources. I met alot of people, got some phone numbers and emails. So now the work must begin.

Anyway. Like I said I'll post more details and some of the "memorable" moments.

It's good to be home. *sorta*

Gatsu OUT!
