Going to Megaplex!
20 Years ago, when I was a poor KU student, I watched everyone else in the dorm head out to spring break.
There would be all kinds of trips advertised to Florida, Cancun, South Padre Island, or wherever. I never got to go to Spring Break, instead having to spend an entire week in Chicago, my least-favorite city in the whole country, with my parents. When I managed to move out of the dorm and get a place of my own, I just hung around Lawrence and watched the bustling college town be empty for a week, while everyone else went to Daytona.

But now, twenty years later... it's MY turn!



(Thanks to Ultra-Gor and his mad Paintshop Pro skills for the background!)

This is a first for me on a number of fronts... first time that I've ever gone anywhere during spring break season, much less during the NCAA Tournament (more on that later). And also the first time I've flown to a con since the disastrous 2003 season, where my fursuit box got crushed by the O'Hare Luggage Muncher Machine both going to and coming back from MFF.

So if you're looking for me around Megaplex, I'll be the one in full spandex, or in my blue suit. I'm kinda hard to miss, but some people have managed. And BTW, if you see a guy in bright red and blue with yellow shoes, I'm NOT Jimmy Chin. People keep mistaking me for somebody with much, much more talent.

Well, I've gotten old and fat now since I saw you nearly eight years ago, but I'll be running around in spandex anyway! Was fun hanging with you this evening at the wine place, hope to catch you more at the con!

considering the theme of the con,... are you his evil clone twin?

No, if I was his clone, I'd have as much talent as him, which isn't nearly the case ;)

Wish me luck, if I lose to the supervillains I'll end up tied up in a cliffhanger episode like the 60's Batman TV series!

It's hot and muggy here, but I'm managing OK. Need to compare notes with you on Haitian Zombie legends for FC 2009 (Surfin' Safari) sometime.

Sure hope calamity DOESN'T follow you around on this trip, as that seems to always happen whenever you leave town. Now...GO WIN THE MASQUERADE!!!!!!

The trip was painful, but nothing bad happened, it was just having to get up way too early and spend 12 hours en route-- but everything made it here OK. Hopefully on Saturday I'll actually be recovered enough to fursuit!

I'd planned to go, was registered and everything, but some problems came up a couple of weeks ago and I had to cancel. Wish I could be there, too, as this was a convention theme I was *really* looking forward to seeing.

Ah well, that's the way these things go. I hope you'll have a great time, and that the bird in spandex will be helping Megapanther, the panther in spandex, to keep the con-goers safe from the evil Baron Redtail, the other bird in spandex. :)

Have fun! :)
