So here it is Sunday. I check out of the hotel and my friend Andrew picks me up and we go over to his house. I spend hours sorting out Mega Bloks. I was fortunate enough that the night previous, one of the Mega Brands folks did get a half a tub of bloks for me after mine had been taken. So there I was sprawling my bloks out on my friend’s parents living room floor sorting pieces. Some good conversation with his folks about all types of things from gardening to cultural history and more.
Andrew’s mom makes a fantastic Chicken and Potato dinner. MMMM MMM Good! Around about 11pm, I’m finally off to go back home. After a lay over in Harrisburg, PA for about 4 hours, I finish the trip and get home. Exhausted, but having had a lot of fun, despite the failed events of the previous day.
I made plenty of new friends within the Halo community, met my Halo heroes from 343 and Mega Brands and did manage to get at least some Halo swag.
One thing I know, I’m going to solemnly swear to get in shape for this next year!
Stay tuned for an article on Cosplay at the con. And later today my serval part review of Forward Unto Dawn Episode two, with a graphic novel to follow. (Likely tomorrow).
