Hey guys! I'm back from YOUMACON! Best weekend of my life! :D Now i have to spill it all out while the memories are still fresh.

Got there on Thursday night which proved to be a smart choice since there wasn't a single day the registration line wasn't at least 2 hours long. :faint: I was able to get my table first thing on Friday morning after waking up several hours before i needed too, lol.  So started my severely sleep deprived weekend. :XD:  I actually went to the PJ Party on Thursday night, but despite sitting at the supposed DA table, i didn't seem to find anyone from Deviantart. Weird... But I enjoyed walking around in my PJs.

Friday I got my table.  To my disappointment my table ended up being in the sort of spill over alley, meaning my table was in a separate hall from the rest of the artists. :( People still came by, but it's harder to find, so I'm betting there were plenty of people who didn't know that the extra row of tables was actually also artist alley.  The only times when lots of people came by where while lines were forming for the Main Events.  Then it was just crazy loud.  I decided since Vic Mignogna and Todd Haberkorn were going to be there that I would try to get autographs while my husband watched my table for me.  After nearly 3 hours of waiting I finally made it to the front of the line, surprised to see that the actors were even still there. I seriously felt bad for them.  I could tell, Vic couldn't even smile anymore.  But I thanked him for sticking around. :D

Saturday was a far more exciting day.  More sales and more excitement.  LittleKuriboh and company were signing on Saturday morning.  Probably because of the earlier hour, the line wasn't nearly as long.  Because of my terrible table location, I figured since I knew Kroze wanted a copy of 'Card Games on Light Cyles' I would just give them as gifts since none of them were ever going to find my table. So I gave one to Martin and one to Kroze.  They both seemed pretty excited about it.  Never imagined they'd be even a little excited to be meeting me, lol.  Kroze was so excited he actually got up and ran around the table to give me a hug!  Apparently he loves TRON just as much as me. :love:  I can definitely remember feeling way more excited to meet LK and Kroze than meeting Vic and Todd.  I guess I just love YGO Abridged that much, lol.

So on Sunday I was able to go to the YGO Abridge Panel.  50th episode party! It was pretty Epic I must say.  There's something more exciting about watching the episodes with a room full of people and not just by yourself.  You laugh harder!  Actually Martin decided to share with us a special moment that made him start to cry.  So then I started to cry too cause I'm such a softy!  I can't find a video of it on Youtube yet, but it was about how he is like Yugi because he used to get bullied and how he just wanted to make people laugh.  Needless to say, he's done well!  But probably my most favorite part of the panel was at the end when LK surprised us with something he didn't tell anyone about.  I hope I'm allowed to say since I was there, but from what I can tell, it hasn't made it to the website yet.  Anywho, LK is now starting to dub… SEASON ZERO!!!!!!!!1111111 Psychotic Yami Yugi for the win! Maybe you had to be there.  It was awesome! I hope it comes online soon cause I wanna watch it again!  It just had the same sort of charm that Duelist Kingdom did.  :D :D :D Love love love!  I miss Youmacon!
