ACDF Picnic

astillarI missed out on the best part of the event (the picnic/photoshoot) and didn't get to see everyone's costumes either. What slim chance I had of showing up on time to the picnic was soon stomped and eaten by a lousy day at work. Nevertheless, as soon as I got off work I jumped into the truck and hurried to the event.
I knew the picnic had been going on for about 6 hours by the time I got there, so I tried to keep my expectations low but I was still disappointed to discover that everyone was out of costume. But the kicker was seeing MoB wearing no trace of Terra. All week as she was putting together the costume she'd been buzzing, "Are you excited yet?", trying to infect me with her giddiness. I resisted, but by the time Saturday rolled around, I _WAS_ pumped up for the Slade/Terra stuff. She began apologizing/explaining as soon as I entered the room. Apparently the costume was very uncomfortable and not very stable. "A bad-looking costume that you can't move in? You just described every cosplay I've ever done! And I don't let pain/discomfort stop me! Slade orders you to put it back on!" is what I thought. But I commiserated with her cosplay woes. Oh well.
So yeah, there wasn't any point in putting on Slade. It was apparent that cosplay time was over for the day. A little while after I arrived, it was decided that we would re-locate to a karaoke place. The karaoke room was small and hot, the korean videos were retarded and clichèd, and the musical selection was random and worthless. But! It was fun. Yell-singing with everyone else was a riot. It didn't matter whether I liked the songs or not. Some people REALLY got into it. Ha ha ha. It's too bad the catalog didn't have more choices. Or more anime/japanese stuff. Ni modo.
Afterwards we went to Kerbey's for dinner. Again. OMG. XP. Ha ha ha. As always, we got loud and stupid. Christopher Walken, RaptorJesus, pancake-forcefeeding, some food was thrown, some ice went down shirts, etc. It was a pretty happy, warm vibe in there. I couldn't help but concur with Ever's comment that the ACDF was almost like a family, even if that casts some of the couples in an incestous light. Wha . . .? Ha ha.
