    I was the only one at the fancy dinner not in a suit and didn't meet anyone past our end of the table

    Now I'm watching The Living Daylights and apparently A-ha did the theme? Still sucked though

    Do not have a cow, mortal.

    The number of Dunkin' Donuts per square mile in Boston is nothing short of astounding

    it's like Seattle's Best in Seattle



    Seattle

    What? When was the last time you were in Seattle? Because there's only 5 locations downtown and a few more scattered around outside Seattle.

    2008... it seemed like they were on every corner by the W and the convention center

    I don't think I saw a single Starbucks in Boston.

    That was pretty rad.

    all of the Boston Starbucks are hidden inside corporate buildings and office towers.

    they're like the city's secret shame.

    PAX was awesome as always, but damn if it's awkward meeting anyone here.

    It's a hard sell to convince my friends to meet even more random internet strangers.

    Just saw this, thank you! Here are some pictures I managed to get with my shitty phone camera, for those who weren't there/didn't see before I changed for fancy dinner:
    It was based off one of Nat's personal PB designs:

    I commissioned a friend to make it for me since I don't have a sewing machine down here, but she forgot to put the sparkly tulle layer on the sash so it was just shiny instead of sparkly...

    With Octopimp and Radiation, of Homestuck fame:

    With Apho, who was an oversized Finn. Those contacts make my eyes SO ANIME:

    I wish I'd gotten some when I DID change though. I decided to keep wearing the wig so I wouldn't have to shower and be extra late after the PTL panel, it looked pretty baller with my fancy dress.

    No, it's hard explaining all the time to my real life friends why I'm leaving yet again.

    As if I am concerned about embarrassing myself in front of you nerds and low-lives.

    The goal is to slowly replace them with everyone here.

    You can all relocate, right?

    I introduced my RL friends to SE++ people and it went fine. Your friends suck if they're not open to meeting cool new people. It's not like we're terrible antisocial nerds.

    As I was explaining to Erics, I had left my hood, Photoshop filters and rain back at home so nobody could tell it was me. Just another inconspicuous balding fat nerd. The perfect crime...

    Also very awesome costume! I only got to see the wig at the con (well, fancy dinner).

    hahaha yeah... I also found that if I didn't know who someone was and then they told me what threads they posted in it made it easier to put the pieces together

    Nope! I wasn't either. Don't matter though.

    Did anyone get any pictures of all of us in our cosplays? I know some random dudes got some, but I haven't had any success in finding any.

    For clarity: I was Ice King, IK and Apho were Finn, Erics was Marshall Lee, and Lexxy was of course PB

    Bread was stolen, and I got confused for a woman by one of the waiters.

    At the fancy dinner, I remember no such thing.

    Past two years I've bought a ticket for Prime then changed my mind and sold it back. Having just had my job phased out, I think I'm gonna have to skip both those steps this year.

    Wait @sabremau did they let you go or just put you in another department

    It's only an 8-screen movie theater, we don't really have departments. Long story short, I'd been working as a projectionist since 2000, and last week, they finished upgrading everything from 35mm film projectors to all-digital ones. These new projectors don't need to be set up in between every showing and even start themselves on time via computer schedule. So I'm going to end up cleaning auditoriums or doing minor maintenance work around the building at a significantly reduced schedule until I figure out what I can do that pays actual money. Basically the exact same work I was doing in 1997, except back then we were quite busy and these days we don't turn a profit even with just 2-3 staff on-site at a time.

    Last year after the Omegathon we went to Ruth's Chris Steak House for dinner.

    Der Waffle Mous was mistaken for a woman by our waitress and @Spono stole Bill's bread.

    And naturally, our table was the best that restaurant will ever see.
