no seriously, they're waterproof. i've showered multiple times with one on, they're not made out of printer paper or something.

Andy & Jill - is this true?

I guess that failed, but I had fun! And the best part? No hangover!

Goddammit, I leave the OCR threads alone for a day and this is what happens...

(iloveyouguys :D )

I'm really sorry for not meeting more people, even though I would have loved to, but I was dealing with a combination of persistent jetlag and what was probably a light form of food poisoning (Chipotle/Seafood). Maybe next year. :(

I did manage to catch the OCAD panel and get some of those delicious pony shots at least!

So I don't think I should write a list of everything I experienced because I would go on forever and probably forget a few things, but at least share some highlights.

I love the fact Nobuo ate my voice at The Earthbound Papas concert. Dancing Mad is my FAVORITE VG SONG EVER so congrats on stealing my voice. Progress on getting it back: 80%. Most of us had a dream of always meeting him so I'm glad I got that accomplished. Thanks MAGFest for that! Now all we need is Yasunori Mitsuda at next MAG!

Something I also could never forget is how hard I tried to get drunk before the OCR panel because I had to speak about the Wild Arms project. Thanks Doug & Michelle, love you. <3 Because of that though, great times were had at the Metroid Metal concert...still don't remember anything that was played, but was tempted a few times going up on stage. Maybe if I had 2 more drinks in me, I would've done it. :lmassoff: I also took a lot of great pictures during that concert. Thinking it was the alcohol that did it. Thanks djp for letting me speak at the panel, even if I sobered up 15 mins before I had to get up there. :whatevaa: It was a wonderful experience watching Wesley (Bahamut) be a drunk person too! I remember trying to take care of him....Heh.

I connected a lot with Jarel (Arrow), Chris (Velocifero) & Aaron (Global-Trance) this MAG. A lot of deep conversations were had. I'm not going through PMD as bad as I did last year, but I am heartbroken I can't hang with a lot of you IRL more often. The goal is definitely Otakon now. It was a pleasure finally meeting Lizz and hope she comes back next MAG so we can hang more often. Luke was also a fun sight to see. Definitely come back too!

I think what was easier on me was staying a few more days after MAG ended. What Velocifero said, it's like ripping off a band-aid. Therefore, I appreciate Stevo and Val welcoming me to their beautiful home and great dog to have even better times. The best time there was playing Rayman Origins & Bomberman multi-player. I haven't had that much fun since I was a little girl. I don't remember the last time I constantly smiled and laughed the way I did this past week. Only MAG does this to me, even if all of us got 3-4 hours of sleep per day. THE MAPLE COOKIES WERE ALSO GOOD. 8) We also went somewhere called Ginza. Deia, Andrew, Wesley, Aaron, Chris, Greg, Katie, Ari, Stevo, Val, & I all went and it was worth every penny for the 5 course meal. It is the best meal experience I've ever had.

Another thing was hanging out at Brushfire's place with a whole crew a day before MAG. His wife made some delicious burgers so thanks for going out of your way for us!

To those who have never been to MAG, jealous of MAG or just refuse to go to MAG because you think it isn't worth the money - you're wrong. Start saving money now for the next one and you won't be sorry. Everyone will welcome and accept you. There is nothing like it. No words can explain the experience. Just do it.

On a side note I think I'm going to be completely sober next MAGfest. Either that or drink a lot less.

What is your reason?

Too much shit people are telling me I did that I can't remember!

Hah, yeah. That's why I didn't heavily drink at this MAG. Drink enough to get buzzed then stop.

I'm moving towards this as a general rule of life. It's kind of bad for you, mentally and physically.

(sorry to change the subject to a more... sober... one.)
