While I was kinda sad to not feel as social as I did last year, MAG was still more fun than a barrel full of nerds. (Or perhaps it WAS a barrel full of nerds? These things are so hard to tell.)
My highlights:
- Rob Steele/Animefreak stepping in last minute, giving D-Rux and I a place to stay for Thurs night!
- Hearing The Megas perform live, and singing along with "The Quick and the Blue" word-for-word
- Learning that Jimmy Hinson's true inspiration after all these years is none other than pop king Justin Bieber
- Hearing how DannyB gets PAID to make relatives drunk (for purely artistic purposes of course)
- Seeing THE Hikori Kikuta in person and listening to his awesomely new agey whale song. Also, the whole "leave your family" monologue! LOL
- Getting coerced into tipsiness by Katie, and subsequently shouting out "we're all just slightly-more-intelligent monkeys!"
- Watching DougUltima and Sambubula real-time collab on the ivories (while still tipsy)
- Being all "no way, that can't be what I think it is" when Arm Cannon started to play the Star Trek TNG theme!
- Dancing like a fool at Danimal's chiptune concert
- Hearing new music from The OneUps
- Geeking out playing Dominion and Magic The Gathering with fellow OCRers
- Meeting someone who had listened to my tiny ffradio.net internet radio station eons ago!
- Delicious Thai food, not once, but TWICE
The not so great:
- No Indian food
- Missing Rare Candy's performance
- Medley-out-the-arse DoD song falsely advertising ME2 content
