Last weekend was excellent; last weekend was insane. Friday I went to Anime Boston, getting there around noon. I went straight to the registration line, as I had missed the pre-reg by one day. After waiting in line for 30 minutes, I began to notice that the line wrapped all the way around the mezzanine and then some.

Two hours, 10 games of Tux Racer, 5 Jolly Ranchers, $40, and spurious small talk later, I got through the registration line. I watched some anime and eventually met up with Tashari and Pete. We ate and eventually made our way over to Harvard Square where we met up with James for Manray. Manray was fun, filled with scantily-clad men and women dancing to loud, good music. I eventually trundled home.

Saturday, I made it back to Anime Boston in time to see the Chibi Project live and met up with Tashari and Pete again. I attended a few panels on various video games, in hopes to learn more about them. Learned that I still don't play video games (really?) and that many gamers are stinky (in other words: I learned nothing new). I eventually gave up on panels, and wandered off in search of humans.

I encountered Fluffy who was hanging out with some nifty-looking people. There I met Freya, who has turned out to be very cool. We talked a bit and eventually joined up with Tashari and Pete again. Quite hungry from a long day of animeing, the 4 of us went out for dinner at Thai Basal on Newbury St.. As the con had pretty much died down, Tashari and Pete headed home. Fluffy, Lucky, Freya and I all decided to go to Rocky Horror that night, so we had oodles of time to kill. Lucky was at the masquerade, Fluffy went home, so Freya and I ran off to a quiet room to watch videos on my laptop.

Which brought us to Rocky Horror, which was the usual silliness. There was a particularly silly 4-20 opening and the cast did a gender swap (female chars were played with male actors, etc.). All in all, there was an adequate amount of hot women (and at least one fairly cute guy) so all was well. We finally went home thanks to a ride from Fluffy. Thus ended my insane weekend.
