CryCon 2014 – Day 1 – Saturday

This was possibly the greatest convention I’ve ever been to. Well worth the hype.

12:05 Calyrica comes over.

"Wake the fuck up, Dark_Sage!"
“Wake the fuck up, Dark_Sage!”

 

12:10 Caly drop-kicks my chair.

For real, she demolished that thing.

I still haven’t figured out why she would enact such cruelties upon my chair, but at least I had a few extras.

 

12:30 I can’t quite remember exactly what happened here (I was still a bit drunk from the night before). But I do know that I made Caly watch Smile HD

and then pre-ordered the Psycho-Pass LE.

It's Funimation, and I didn't like the show *that* much, but wouldn't it look sweet if I displayed it like this? Just need to find a spare empty, white room.

So… that was good.

 

4:30 koku finally shows up.

Dude was out all day hanging with his sister.

Ain't saying it happened like this, but I wouldn't rule out anything.

4:40 Good times were had checking out random shit on Dark_Sage’s computer.

See what you guys are missing by not watching Buddyfight?

 

5:00 Puddi joins the party!

Hanging with Puddi is like a rave, but without the statutory rape.

We mostly just shot the shit for a while.

koku was so enamored with Puddi’s description of his font doujin (you know, where fonts like Helvetica get turned into moe anime girls) that he spilled half his strawberry margarita on my floor.

Mad mad mad!

If Caly weren’t there, a little more red might have found its way onto the carpet.

 

6:30 Japanese restaurant time

As is the custom of their people, I decided to take pictures of the food. Unfortunately, I only remembered after I was done eating.

It was pretty good for “Chinese people pretending they’re Japanese” food.

 

7:30 Caly and koku hit the dealer’s room.

A pact may also have been made regarding Hyobu. Equivalent exchange exists after all.

 

7:50 Karaoke, then we said goodbye to Caly.

koku had issues with my artistic direction. I had issues with his autistic dictation. (We’re going to pretend I was satisfied with my voice in this video.)

 

8:00 Space Dandy marathon with koku and Dark_Sage.

I'd rather watch something good.
Everyone was right. This is as good as Cowboy Bebop.

 

9:00 kokujin left. He tried to take his liquor with him, but I wasn’t gonna let his drunk ass drive home with an open bottle of beer.

Dark_Sage: Doing what's right!

And with that, CryCon 2014 came to a close. It was pretty damn awesome, overall. I didn’t do anything *crazy* like yell at Funimation reps or ask random girls for their pictures or talk to people I don’t know, but I did get to hang out with fellow anime fans, without any of the bullshit that usually accompanies cons.

Didn't feel like playing target practice with my chin like I do at most cons.
Didn’t even feel like playing target practice with my chin, which marks a new anime con first for me.

Here’s to next time, baby. Maybe some more of you fuckers can make it.

  1. Sounds like Crycon was a resounding success. Honestly, it seems like you had more fun here than at Ohayocon, so more power to you guys.

  2. Come to Canada next time so that I can meet you inperson once more, Sage. I kinda miss your godly “generic IT guy” look. ;_;

    A fair amount of people from Evetaku are from the GTA and will love to join CryCon 2!!
