MetroCon 2005
MetroCon pictures are up; they would need work with color balance, but I'm too lazy to bother right now.
I got to see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
silvertales after a way long bout of no communication, and that was definitely good. Also hung around hyanan, Emily and saw Dizzie and Ozzy, Beth, Gabe, Sarah, Alissa, Joe and Russ for a moment, so socially the con was better than expected. Also my first true visit to the Tampa Convention center. It's teeny, compared to McCormick or the Orlando one, but worked well for this particular convention. hyanan fed us with a proper Bento lunch of home made sushi and chicken, and that caused a whole lot of envy, as the only other food available was overpriced movie-theater grade snack food. Apparently the stipulation by the convention center was that no food could be sold, so there wasn't even pocky or Japanese snacks or drinks to be had.
Afterwards,hyanan offered the hospitality of her home and the dynamic cooking trio of Ben, Brian and Pedro, who proceeded to make several kinds of filled steam buns, curry katsu, creme brulee, and made me overstuff myself beyond any reason. I wish they'd open a restaurant, because, well, getting stuff this good in any of the existing ones is a tall order!
And now, back to my regularly scheduled grind of life.

And don't forget, you'll have to stop by for the first One Piece DVD. "Make me get them" he says. ;)
