I’ll have a full breakdown as well as all the pictures that I have to show for Monday. But I just want to say right now I’m so happy I went. It was nice meeting some well-known artists, and it was especially awesome to meet with Pirate Dash’s mod. Technically I don’t have everything yet, as there’s a digital commission that I paid in-person to someone for a full-color picture. But otherwise I got some really nice physical stuff from the con that I really liked and I will be more then happy to show it all off when I have the chance.
Highlights for me mainly was again meeting with Pirate Dash where we had some good laughs here and there. I really felt sorry for him though when he was really disappointed with how his full-sized prints (The ones over $1 anyway) he was selling weren’t taking off too well. But I hope at least us meeting in-person made it a little more worthhile. You’re a huge reason I went in the first place, and I can’t thank you enough for prompting me about it on Skype many months ago. It was well-worth it. ^^
It was also so cool to see M.A. Larson, my favorite writer for the show, in person as well. His Harry Potter in Ponies panel was very cool and hilarious at times (He played Rebecca Black’s Friday and Never Gonna Give You Up just to mess with the audience in the crowd prior to the panel’s start. There was even a joke of the computer titles for what’s going on right now that said “M.A. Larson plays music from his phone”. I also got a picture with him as well which will be part of the stuff I show Monday for sure. Not that I didn’t already know this from watching him in some videos he really is a swell guy. While I planned to go even before M.A. Larson was confirmed as a guest I won’t lie that it made me want to go even more when I heard he was coming. It was so awesome.
There’s probably more that I’ll have to just look through the pictures and stuff I have to really get into everything that went on when I was there and I’ll have a bit of story explanations for some of it too if need be.
Anyway, I gotta get to bed soon right now it’s about 1 AM. But I am so glad I went. And I enjoyed my first con experience. If I ever go to another it may not be for a long while. As even this trip was kinda super expensive so I don’t think I’ll be back for if there’s a Trotcon 2016. Even if that ends up being the only real con I go to in my entire lifetime, I really enjoyed it though and don’t regret anything (Welllllll I did kinda throw up in the car after the Con, but I had quite a bit of Steak n’ Shake food in me that I ate prior to the Con where I made it through the whole con without feeling sick enough to throw up until the trip back home was starting. But otherwise that was really the only bad thing that happened for me). A big thank you to those who ran Trotcon as well as the many fellow fans and blog mods I got to meet in the process. ^^
