Hi!
I did one of these last year, for Dragoncon, and it was... actually kind of helpful? For me, at least, lol! But hey, maybe it'll be fun for some of you as well!
Okay, so... backtracking to Thursday for a bit, specifically, after my mom and I arrived at the airport. We happened to be on the same plane as a friend!
JTJ! I knew he was in Montreal, and going to LitRPGCon, but it was weird to bump into him! Also, we had seats next to each other, which is neat! Spent the flight over chatting!
Ah, for those not in the know, that's Harold, the lich from Dead Tired. Or... he's Harold's voice! OHoho!
Anyway! After landing and confirming our hotel and all that, we headed out to meet friends! This is the only pic I have, of me and Selkie, looking in different directions and looking rather goofy!
Hung around, got our badges with Void Herald, then I met Grayson, the guy in the pic above! Cool dude! We met last year, but... I had forgotten his name, lmao! He didn't take it badly though, and we had Taco Bell! God, I love Taco Bell. Oh, and then we were too early to the Podium mixer, so we had to sit around the lobby and wait.
The mixer was fun! I finally met some authors that I looked up to for a long time! Plum Parrot was there, and I shook Matt Dinniman's hand! The above pics are me and Gary (I think that's how his name goes) and PopPop (and Lady PopPop!)
Anyway! That wraps up Thursday!
Onto today! Woo!
Started strong by... handing out bunny ears!
My mom was in her full Broccoli Bunch outfit, wandering around and giving people cute ears! I'm... pretty sure this did nothing to promote Cinnamon Bun, but it was fun!
Made some friends, and met Wind from the Discord! Always hype to meet online friends irl!
Ah, then we lingered until I had my first ever panel... here's me and Maxime lingering professionally:
Ah, anyway, first panel:
I... okay, so I was so nervous that I don't remember what happened, but I do recall repeatedly thinking that Brain Nordon was charismatic AF. I wanna be like him when I grow up, lol!
It was a lot of fun, though! Met some authors, yapped about books and quests and litRPG stuff!
Oh, and met Wolf! Also from the Discord! (Actually, we met before this, but hadn't taken a picture yet)
Anyway, second panel! This was an improv one:
I was a stupid Narwhal called Steve.
That was fun too, but in a weird way, lol!
Ah, then we went to the vendor hall, I spent a lot of money on TShirts and books, met some friends! Oh, and I signed copies of Fluff next to Plum who was also signing (his own books, not copies of Fluff, that'd be weird)
Ah, capped off the evening with a Mango Media dinner, which was nice! I yapped with Savi and Selkie and Drim the entire time!
Anyway! I'm exhausted, so... good night, everybun! Tomorrow will probably be just as busy! Wish us luck!
