I have returned!

I went to Comicon in NYC this weekend. And I definately had fun, even better that I got in for free with the Professional pre-reg ::grin::. Although my stomach was rebeling all weekend. It's finally starting to calm down now. I have no idea what caused it though, I'm wondering if travel in general just wraps my stomach in knots. ::shrugs::

Anyway, genkisakka, vox_angel, eldritch48, and I all spent the weekend in the city. I got to try Korean food while we were there, and now I'm pissed as hell that there are no Korean restaurants around here. ::pouts::

I didn't buy anything for our collection at work, mostly because I wasn't sure that anything I bought for the collection would be reimbursed to me. I did however get a freebie from one of the small indy publishers when I explained why I wasn't going to buy anything for work (Pro badges had our professions on them). Which was really very nice of him. I'm definately going to recommend that we buy a few more titles off that label.

I also picked up some stuff for myself. ::grin:: I couldn't help myself. I picked up volume 2 of Saiyuki Gaiden ::squeee!::, the special edition of Loveless 6, the Gravitation novel (but I'm annoyed, I was too late to cancel my order from Amazon, so if anyone wants a copy I've got an extra one for shipping and a couple bucks for the book itself), FMA anime artbook 3, and best of all the soundtracks for FF7: AC and KH2. The FF7 CD is fantastic, definately recommend that one.

I'm only about halfway through the first disc and the songs are really very good. I don't know if this happens to anyone else who reads my LJ, but when I hear a really good piece of instrumental or orchestral music my skin starts to tingle just a bit, especially my head and neck. The first two tracks on this CD definately did that. ^_^ I can't wait to take this to work and force it on my coworkers. Seeing as they won't bring in CDs. ::evil grin::

I'm glad you had such a nice time! I had a few friends who were at the con. I'm sorry I couldn't go.

What was your favorite part of the con?

It would have been good if you had been able to make it. There just weren't enough women there (only about 20-30%) and certainly not enough pervy fangirls. ::grins::

Tough call on what I liked the most. I certainly had a good time at the couple of panels I went to. Some were a little dry, by Kevin Smith was a riot, the Avengers movie was alright, the Viz panel was okay but dry and nothing really new and exciting accept for a new line (which they barely announced titles for), the Marvel Ultimates panel was pretty amusing, and the Comedy Central panel was good. I had a good time haggeling with some of the dealers though. I got a manga and dvd for $20. ^___^

It must've been something in the air -- my stomach rebelled in spectacularly disgusting fashion on our way home Sunday. -_-;; In my case I think it was a stomach virus -- was betting food poisoning until I suffered a fever and horrific chills yesterday. Not a pleasant way to end the weekend. ;_;

Poor Sakka-chan, V-chan was saying that you got sick on the train home. ::hugs:: I home that you're at least starting to feel better.
