I purposely stalled on this post because I wanted to post a lil recap on TooManyGames stuff.

Also the winner of the bball thingie was post #11, which is https://brandybuizel.newgrounds.com

I was hoping it wouldnt be Tom tbh....

Anyways, yeah pretty intense weekendish. In hindsight, i wish i took more days off work, even though i'm dangerously low, It's only my first year at my new jorb, so vacation days are only 10 days. I burned a bunch on my trip to Bosnia earlier this year and i wanted to save some for Toronto next month, also I'm going to Bolivia in Sept. But i wish i would have took off last Monday because I was so wrecked, also people went to the office that day but whatever.

It was an awesome weekend overall! I got to re-connect with old friends like @droid whom i love having at meets. We just get on so well, i'll see him soon in Toronto. But I also had a chance to connect with people I admire and hadnt met yet.

@bacun whom I've never met before but i love his style and all he do, I already met @srpelo but it was kinda different this time, because I used his characters in my bball game, and i dunno it was more special. Same with @jack I've seen that dude before, but again, using his beloved characters, it was so weird and cool.

Shoutout's to @ivanalmighty for doing the dogtags again. Stuff like that makes it all worthwhile.

Was also awesome to see the event @cortat-g did with the panel stuff. Tom drove me back and we were like how the heck did he manage to do that. That also goes with all the merch at the event! @pkettles killed it on that poster (image below). Shoutout to @mkmaffo for the stickers and being an absolute gem. I wasn't expecting to run into her but it was awesome, i can only hope that Philadelphia treated you well.

Same with Eric i dunno his ng name (if he has one) but he's one of the awesome fnf people putting that gargantuan erect mode project together. Had a little rockstar moment meeting @kawaisprite he's done music for me in the past, and he has such a positive attitude, who says musicians cant inspire graphic artists.

I could go on for days really, but i wont. I feel re-energized and ready to keep things rollin. On the final day of my day out, @the-swain threw together a karaoke joint, at my bar, which was kind of awesome. Got a chance to see Maxx James of Max in the mornin on the ng radio do his music thingie, amongst others. Didnt see Chris Piche clog a toilet, but maybe next year. I also got to see alot of NYC meet people from the last meet. It's always so unnerving going to a meet and not knowing if you'll meet familiar people, yup even for me. But that was comforting.

Also comforting was to finally meet @moawling who does a ton of awesome pixel work. I thought it was inspiring she's sharing her expertise and knowledge of the medium in a teaching level. One day...maybe. But i think it's a good mindset in general, to share your findings and continue to grow the medium.

I'm sure i left out a TON of people, wasn't intentional. Here's some imagery!

See u in Toronto (if ur going)
