Day 2 of Acen (82/90)

Oh man, I feel a need to write down what happened yesterday after I "faded out." The reason for the "fade out" was that I did not want to explain what happened after the concert. To be honest, all of the details are fuzzy. I have no idea what the hell happened.

After the concert, I attended a specialty showing known as "Anime Hell." The show was really interesting at first, but after my attention span gave out, Anime Hell turned out to be a mindfuck. It was literally 2 hours of my brain rotting.

After Anime Hell, I went to a rave party for a bit, which was really fun, but I felt really awkward dancing to rave music. I don't really listen to techno much. The snake run (people jumping while following another person by holding on to their shoulders. idk, that's the best explanation I could come up with) was the best part for me.

At around 2am, I went to the Yuri panel a little ways away from the hotel. All I remember was that we learned what not to put into a woman's vagina and how unrealistic Yuri is as portrayed on the internet.

Day 2 of Acen

Okay, onto what happened today (Saturday) at Acen. At around 10am, I went to back to the same room where we had the Yuri panel to watch another panel that taught people how to go about creating an anime and publishing it on the web. The producers of Press Start Adventures gave us a lot of tips like what programs they recommend, equipment, and hot to promote, collaborate, and establish your anime on the web. I felt that they did the best job out of all of the panels I've been to so far.

At around noon, I hit the main place where they have all of the vendors to buy the rest of the merchandise for the trip. I found some good deals on manga, figurines, and posters. I probably spent over a hundred dollars, but it was totally worth it. Just when I was about finished with my shopping, I saw the Nostalgia Critic setting up a booth. I literally gasped out loud as I walked up slowly toward the booth. Unfortunately for me, the place was packed so it would be an hour and a half before I would meet the marvelous person known as Doug Walker.

When I did get up to meeting Doug, I had him sign my Kirby poster which I had bought from the VG Cats booth (yeah, I met Scott too). Both Scott and Doug were really nice. I couldn't believe how easy they were to talk to. I also took a picture with Doug Walker for proof. (inb4 pics or it didn't happen)
