Escapade

[prillalar]

Yes, I will be at Escapade this year. Will you?

You will know me by my glasses and my #2 clipper cut and my lip ring and the Fullmetal Alchemist keychain on my backpack. I'll do my best to look approachable. :)

If you meet me, call me Hal. I do have a Real Name, but I find Hal works best at these fannish things. No one should attempt to say "Halrloprillalar". I never do.

I've never actually been to a media con like this before. I've been to lots of gaming cons and to one sci-fi con, but that was also for gaming. (There were people walking around in Klingon outfits and/or vampire fangs and *we* were considered the weirdos because we played D&D.) So I'm interested to see how this is. What's fun that I should make sure I don't miss?

And it's OK to rub my head.

Hee! Don't worry about missing the fun - the con schedule will tell you much of what you need to know, and the rest of the time we make our own fun. ;) I'll be on the lookout for you!

Whee!

You will know me by my badge that says 'Destina'. *g* I have often been told I'm not at all what people expect. Whatever that means.

What's fun that I should make sure I don't miss?

Hit the show Saturday night, definitely. On Friday evening there's usually an evening party in one of the con spaces, which is usually too crowded and noisy and overwhelming for me, but it can be very fun for sociable-type people. (I'll probably turn in after the SG dinner Fri.) The meta panels are usually good, tho it depends on who is leading them; if elynross, shalott, LaT or tzikeh leads a meta-topical panel, I try to attend.

Huzzah! I am leading such a panel - "The Tipping Point in Fandom". Hope to see you there. :)

*g* I guess I will at that. This is probably a good opportunity to go around ogling everyone's rack and say I was just trying to read their name tags. Um, not that I'd do that.

Do I need to do anything else re the SG dinner? That's something I don't want to miss for sure.

I'm usually not much of a party person either, but sometimes I surprise myself and get all outgoing.

I just put up a new and annoying post re the SG dinner, so that should be mostly settled. Also, everyone does the chest-staring thing. It's expected. *g*

And it's OK to rub my head.

Now I *really* wish I was going.

Hee!

I'll be there! I'll be the one with about an inch of curly gray fuzz on my head, and I'll probably be wearing a Yu-gi-Oh! tee-shirt.

I'll be pimping Yu-Gi-Oh! at the pimp thing, and other than that, who knows?

Look forward to seeing you!

[prillalar]

Yay! I'll look out for you. And you will be glad to know that I have obtained the first couple of volumes of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga from Viz and have watched fansubs of the first two episodes of the first anime series. We'll see how it goes from. :)

Where is this con?

This will be the first Escapade I'm missing after going for the past three years, and I'm sorry to miss a chance to see you again, but I hope you have a fabulous time!

Yes, I will! I have very long brown hair. I often wear a leather jacket. I smoke, so I often can be found standing outside near the convention rooms. In the mornings, I can be found where there is coffee. And unless it's scheduled against something I must attend like whoa, I'll be at the anime panel.

And it occurs to me that I really need to fill out the paperwork for my Escapade vacation days tomorrow. Oops.

And I'll generally be hanging around her.

Oh, you have one of those haircuts, do you? So rubbable!

I hate this time of year. Everyone posts con reports from expensively faraway places.
