Botcon/Cincinnati Trip Part III

Journal Entry: Sun May 4, 2008, 3:06 AM
  • Mood: Optimism
  • Listening to: >.<;;
  • Reading: Comments on DA and e-mail from a friend.
  • Watching: NEW TFA episode on Youtube.com!
  • Playing: Neopets and Meez games.
  • Eating: Comfort food (my rice creation.)
  • Drinking: Cold green tea.
Finally, it's time for BOTCON!:boogie:

When we arrived, there was a LONG line consisting of adult Transformers fans and their own children (running about!) snaking around the whole place at the top floor of Duke Energy Center. It went pretty fast, needless to say.:aww:

The immense dealer room was quite crowded with so many people coming and going. And there was so much to see and do, too. There were all kinds of toys, both new and old as well as a few non-Transformers (including Star Wars and Dragonball Z) tossed into the mix, statuettes, busts, clothing items (hats included), graphic novels, comic books (both new and old), books, Japanese imports, autographed sketches and artwork, an art contest featuring remade toys, models, and artwork, and so on. Professional artists who work for the actual comic books, voice actors for Transformers Animated, and even Simon Furman HIMSELF were kept busy signing their names for fans. (:iconswitchpoint: and I even spoke to the famous writer for Transformers comics and TF artists, including :iconsshibamura-prime:, BTW!:))

I was on my own at Botcon because Greg and John had gone off to visit the museum as they had planned that day. So I just wandered around, buying a few toys and stuff, including a new Revoltech Starscream
There was a stand serving the cutest little hotdogs loaded with the famous Cincinnati chili and shredded cheese (they're called "coneys", for some reason, heh) and I enjoyed some for lunch. (John himself thinks the stuff is vile, however.:laughing: )

One of the voice actors for the latest Transformers cartoon happened to be Tara Strong, who used to provide voice for Bubbles, one of The Powerpuff Girls and all three of us (John, me, and of course, :iconwingdiamond: ) are loyal, longtime PPG fans (it was such a sweet coincidence that we got to stay with Greg in his beautiful hometown of Cincinnati, BTW!) So Greg took along his PPG DVD to have the pretty, blonde voice-actress sign it. (I think she deliberately let her cleavage hang out that day, heh.:giggle: ) Another coincidence happened, too...one of the Archie digest books that I recently bought at the local bookstore is carrying the spoof of Powerpuff Girls (Betty, Veronica, and Nancy were portrayed as The Girls in that story, BTW. Personally, I would have preferred Cheryl Blossom to be, of course, Blossom, heh.;P) So I brought along the Archie book to have Tara Strong sign it, too (she signed herself as "Bubbles", BTW!=P) She asked me which Powerpuff Girl is my favorite (Greg was interpreting for me, I think) and I said, "Buttercup!" The blonde cutie rolled her hand into a fist and shook it with a "tough-as-nails" expression on her face to agree with me, heh.^_^

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they dont like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. If not for you, someone may not be living.

8. You are special and unique.

9. Someone that you dont even know exists loves you.

10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably wont get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.

13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.

15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. Add this as a comment to ten of your friends tonight and at midnight your true love will find you. Something good will happen to you at 2:25 tomorrow. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life.
