jennaria"I'm an introvert! How has all this 'going out and being around people' become a thing?" For values of 'being around people' that discount the fact that I've had roommates for some years now. But anyway.
So last weekend, I went to KotoriCon down in New Jersey, with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sylverice2 and thesilentpoet and B, partially because Stef's favorite dub actor was the Guest of Honor, and partially because Kay and B and I are still stubbornly plugging away at XamJapan, and going to conventions and writing about them is a good thing. (If only because it usually gives Kay something to rant about. My write-up is already up, if you just want the pictures and a quick overview: the short version is that it was a good con, better than I would have expected for 'sponsored by a community college anime club,' but getting there and back was six different kinds of pain.)
Along the aforementioned endless drive, we were talking about other possible cons, some of which are pipe dreams (Anime Expo), some of which are more possible (PortCon). And Arisia came up. None of us have gone to Arisia for several years, partially due to money, partially due to shift in focus. But. "Hey, Thia, you have a shiny new geek girlfriend. Maybe she's interested."
That conversation went approximately as follows:
"So, are you interested?"
"I don't know, let's look at the website. ...wait, they have the Foglios as GOH?! And Doctor Who panels? DO WANT."
So! We will be going to Arisia for Saturday and Sunday. (But not Monday, because I require at least one day to putter around and sleep in and not be social.) ...am still sorta bemused.
