*** WAS HORRIBLE SON! THE TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN AND KILLED LIKE HELLA COSPLAYERS MAN! THE GATEWAY CENTER WAS LEFT IN RUINS AND THIS WILL GO DOWN AS THE WORST CON OF MANKIND'S HISTORY.
Naw, at first, it was pretty grimmed because of the dark clouds but then it died down.

Oh.
Well, I attended anyways, right after the storm passed we started driving, but we got lost and I didn't arrive until 8:00 pm.
It was my first time at a con, I was somewhat confused but it was quite fun, I hope that I can spend more time there tomorrow.

Haha I was in the middle of a Megaman panel when this happened and they herded us into the main area... what was the photography guy doing getting snapshots..?? Found that oddly amusing.

Niiiiice! But seriously I had my camera and wasn't randomly taking photos of everyone clogged into one area. It was interesting to see everybody there jammed into one room ala a Japanese train. haha

Not going to lie, was pretty scared until I released it was just a pre-caution.

That tornado warning stuff was crazy, mostly trying to get all of us into one hallway area. Apparently the tornado hit West County, one hit in Florrisant, and one hit in St. Ann so I heard... all somewhat near my house. I was more afraid for my animals at home then us, thankfully everything ended up ok.

I really didn't mind being cramped because like mentioned above, I'm used to it but I did worry about my friend who was scared. D:

^ Yes. i was highly amused. I did see some of the dancers getting hugs from people with free hug signs and that was pretty cool. And this is all off topic. Anywho...
