EMERALD CITY!

I'M (probably) GOING TO EMERALD CITY COMIC CON THIS YEAR!

I'M (almost definitely) DRESSING UP AS THE DEFENESTRATOR!

I'M (absolutely) GOING TO FINALLY MEET ONE OF MY LONGTIME FRIENDS IN THE REALLY REAL WORLD INSTEAD OF THE INTERNET!

...

ahem...

Excuse me, I got a bit excited.

To clarify a bit, Emerald City Comic Con is a convention in Seattle that I have wanted to go to for years now. And, with a good friend or two, I am most likely fling to attend this year, and will be cosplaying as well!

After D&D the other night, Steev and I were talking about the idea of him cosplaying as Dogwelder for ECCC, and I expressed my excitement and desire to join in as his Section 8 teammate, The Defenestrator. A little while later, and we decided to approach another D&D friend to be Jean de Baton-Baton, and are talking about how easy most of these costumes will be to get together.

In my excitement, I put out a tweet asking if any of my friends would be attending ECCC. "Maxii", from the 9thWonders days said that she would be, and she's one of the 9thers that I still talk to and haven't met in person.  So, on top of my understandable excitement over everything else, getting to finally meet someone I've known for years makes it even better!

2014, you might turn out alright after all. I was iffy after that crappy showing in your first week, but you're getting better.

That's awesome! I really love the idea of cons, but I'm pretty sure that if I actually went to one my social phobia would take over and ruin everything. If you have any extra time while you're in Seattle, we should hang out.

We absolutely should hang out! We'll have to work out something. Can't miss that opportunity. :)
