Misty

And my credit for next trip? $3.12 heh

Meh home

Still, did drink and refill reusable once today. Am taking a liter, a mini, and a Powerade back home

A secondary “fail” was packing so much drinks when there are at least old fashioned water fountains all over the building, and I think I saw some bottle fillers in the main exhibit hall. Still, the load *was* based on planned exercise so *shrug*

But yeah, while I’m still way the hell more used to the DESCC, my main dislike of the con was lack of a DDR machine. Granted I’d have to do a prepay at tax refund time to pay for it, prolly, but I could see myself booking the habitual downtown Hampton for this one, so I can walk it whenever I need

Wait and save $51.99. Close enough ugh

But of course, being Saturday night, rideshare is popular and last check got a wait and save for ~$60.50. Hope I can get that down to under $50 heh

So yeah, prevented derp, refilled bottle… Got bamboozled/distracted by an Emo Night DJ show, (Sugar, We’re Going Down started it) Finally dragged myself out after about 30m, a few familiar songs, some new songs by familiar artists, and hoping Washington is a good street to grab the rideshare on

Which panel? Pointless Nostalgia: VHS After Dark

Still that works, it ends 2200 compared to the concert heh

Found the panel, lost the concert. Know for damn sure i’m on the right schedule day now tho

No chz left, but got regular fries. Least I saved a few bucks that way heh

In the meantime found some food trucks heh

Hmm. There was a panel I wanted to see that started at 2100… can’t find it on the schedule anymore… there is a concert at 2115… scheduled to end 2215…. Tho compared to bar closing time perceptions, still shouldn’t be horrible for a direct run home heh

Also on that one vid “that looks like actual BK food in that pic” (“can confirm~”)

… before one vid “weed is legal here, right? … also “Otomatone BK”
😅

I ended up at YouTube is Wild somehow. I’m staying, though :3

Went back to artists alley and bought a Ghibli themed tote and mystery bag after the last panel, and also a mystery pin from the same booth. Hmm. Japanese Fashion Subcultures as a Social Movement is next, I think, but I have a little bit of time cuz it’s startling at 1900

Hmm. The Line is Drawn: Inkers sounds good, and was right across the way already… why not? Heh

… technically, rando that sat down after I did didn’t ask me to watch her stuff 😅 still, especially now that I got the go plus plus behaving again, back to con

And considering I am sort of trying to respect the listed “no outside food”, found an abandoned place that still has outdoor tables for some reason near Con Center station and am camping the area for now

It’s RB, so I liked it, tho when I was solo running it I did use the chair intended for the drummer in part to see the notes better heh.

After last panel, tried to get lazy overprice noms on site, but yeah didn’t like the options. DGX downtown still exists, tho, so a couple lunchables and a milk for immediate, bacon spam and an assortment of chips for eventually heh

Time for another panel, The Evolution of the Addams Family

Just got a Pokémon mystery pack with a smol print and some stickers. I did good, got a water type pack ^.^

Hmm. @njcoastexp.bsky.social official third bag soon, maybe? *snerk*

Wait misread that a bit. Ah well

As alternative to “sucking” at DDR, I played RB4 for first confirmed tome and sucked at guitar for @jzakoor.bsky.social cuz the mic wasn’t behaving as I liked 😅

*more schedule look*. Sliders? Hot minute since I’ve noticed that show name, so can least look at the photoshoot heh

I’ll go back in soon but wanted to prevent derp in the meantime
