05:41 pm: Chicago Comic Con report
Ok. I'm feeling more awake now, so here it goes:

Saturday, I woke up freakishly early for the voyage. I dressed in my Roto costume, pack my bag, and went out to Ohare. After I arrived, I met up with soulcrash and we both waited in line to enter the dealers room, which is the main floor for the convention. I did some shoping and found a Dinobot action figure from Beast Wars, a Pokemon special edition Gameboy color with Pokemon Gold, A TurboMan action figure from Jingle All The Way, Gundam Wing Box Set, and a whole slew of other things. As my roaming continued, I met Todd Bridges, Cerina Vincent from Lost Galaxy, and Emma Caulfield from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They were all nice.

I later on met up with Pete, Andy and his girlfriend Paige. We hung out for a bit to look at different kinds of stuff. We later ran into Ed and it was okay. He wanted to get Emma Caulfield's autograph for his sister, but she wasn't there. We checked again and he was getting impatient. He wanted me to hang out with him longer as his uncle was going to be there. As I got more pictures, he vanished to go find his uncle. I wasn't going to wait for him anyway, so I thought of it as my chance to get away and get something to eat (I swear. That guy has no patience whatsoever -_-;). If he doesn't have patience to wait for me to finish with pictures, I won't have patience to wait for him.

The cafeteria wasn't bad. The burger I ate was actually good. Chibi_ghostie came by and we talked a bit. I met her boyfriend, Ian and he's actually a cool guy. After I ate, headed back to the convention floor, and ran into mewten. We hung out for a while and looked at the varous booths where many great things were beig sold. We even registered for Acen 2010 while we were there. I felt more free without Ed around.

Before the event closed in two hours, my dad came and picked me up to take me home. Overall, I had lots of fun. Roto went over very well and I'm glad I went. As I was leaving I learned that Ed was wondering where I was. I texted him to say I was going home (which I was). He wanted to stay all the way up to closing time, but I didn't. He would ditch me without telling me where the fuck he was going, and have the audacity to expect me to wait for him to explore the convention more? HA! I don't think so! Like I said, if he doesn't have patience to wait for me, he shouldn't expect me to have the patience for him!

To everyone I met up with, I hope to see you all again in the future.

Finally, for your viewing pleasure, I have pictures up.

A TurboMan action figure from Jingle All The Way

LMAO!!! They actually made those action figures? xDDDDD

Also, was that a person in that huge mech costume in the pic?

And finally, was this Ed the same person that wanted a ride to con a week ago or so or am I thinking of another person?

I'm serious. They actually made those action figures. It needs new batteries though. The sentinel had a person inside of it, but they weren't that tall.

It is the same Ed I mentioned in a previous entry.

I say ditch Ed. He doesn't sound like a good friend.

Other than that, I'm glad you had a good time.
