'Suffocate him like a masquerade trophy!' by Kara

Just a little bit longer 'til I check out of my hotel room at AUSA and stick my luggage somewhere so I don't have to hike out to my car twice. And say g'bye to everyone, and possibly hello/g'bye to one or two people I didn't catch at all this weekend.

Overall, I'm gonna call this con good. I mean, I could have been in better health, and that really did affect my ability to enjoy a lot of things. But not as much as it could have.

1. Host Club: Epic. I wanted very badly to go a second time, but yesterday got really busy and I couldn't find time for everything.

2. How To Draw Yuri Panel: Was interesting. I'm not sure I contributed much, but there you are.

3. Anime Parliament: Adam did a fantastic job running this. I've never been to one before, but I'm definitely going back.

4. Cosplay: The Co-Writer with the Longest Hair nearly killed himself getting that shit together, and I heard the horror stories at the party afterwards. In his position, I would likely have killed everyone everywhere. But he kept it together. And overall it was a pretty good show, though the one I've seen most recently besides it is Nekocon, so I'm not sure if I'm judging it on its own merits or on the fact that it didn't suck as bad as that.

5. Dealers Room: I got a few neat little figures, and I'm going to make my one last necessary sweep before I go. There's not quite as much selection in there this year ... but still not bad. There's about fifty places you can buy nekomimi, though, if that's your thing.

6. Hotel: Well, I've been to this hotel a billion times. Nothing to say there.

I rank this Good Con. Nekocon was Mediocre Con (in a large part, again, because of health), but this was exponentially better. If things continue this way, Chicago TARDIS is going to be so epic I won't be able to stand it.

If you have been, that's how you do it.
