I'm in Dallas for my first anime convention! :0)

A lunch at Subway followed by a 4-5 hour car ride I am in Dallas with my friend Korafay to attend AKON, the annual anime convention there. I decided to go because (A. since I usually work at events, I want to be able to enjoy an event without having to worry about how many people are stopping at the booth. (B. I still have never been to AKON. I've got to attend San Japan, the anime convention in San Antonio, but not AKON, so why not? Getting into town was fairly smooth sailing. The hotel I ma staying at is really nice. It was a fitness center and a pool on the roof, a restaurant, and we each have a queen size bed to ourselves. The view from the room isn't that great because it's of the back area of the hotel next to the dumpster. ( Spectuaclar I know! But I don't plan to be in the room much. lol) But the traffic in Dallas is terrible. There's construction everywhere downtown. Korafay and I went to Denton to meet a friend for dinner, we got turned around and took us an hour longer to get to the restuarant because a road sign was unclear, and on the way back to the hotel, there was alot of stop and go traffic. I think the convention is coming at a good time because sometimes I don't feel like I am the same person anymore since I am more active then I used to be. I like working out now and it is as mich a part of my life as everything else is now that I've gotten into some short of shape. But I still like games and writing like I did before, but I guess at this point I'm still trying to bring balance to the force. But perhaps that will come in time. Right now even though my legs , and well the rest of my body really are tired from all the driving around, I am excited for the convention to begin in the tomorrow.
