Re: Anime North 2014 discussion/hype/planning thread

no dude, you bought 42.11 worth of delicious poutine that just happened to be a single serving

Re: Anime North 2014 discussion/hype/planning thread

I'd make a shout out post, but it'd just say that you're all amazing people. like come on, this'll never end now. I don't what crazy glue has us stuck to eachother but it's that kind of crazy glue that you gotta call the manufacturer for to get the fix in the mail after 4 weeks. And I couldn't be happier about it.

Re: Anime North 2014 discussion/hype/planning thread

From the moment I arrived to Toronto I already knew I was going to have an amazing time. I arrived that Thursday and without a single contact from any of you all, without a laptop, without a cellphone that worked without Wi-Fi, I slowly made my way through the weekend and through the TCC to find and locate some of the chillest dudes and dudettes I've met from the Internets.

Thursday night: My hotel's power was out for a good 3.5 hours, and Luis, Dynamo, Stiaian (henceforth will be named "D7 Gods", or "The Gods" for short) know what I'm talking about. Hung out with a bunch of random females who were also getting hyped for AN waiting for the power to turn back on. I had a steak at The Keg and shortly after passed out in my room to prepare for the following days ahead of me.

Friday: Coalescing a lot of what happened that day, I picked up my AN passes and headed to the local poutine-serving place to start my full Canadian experience. Needlesse to say, it was delicious. Prior to consumption of said delicious poutine, I had walked outside to sit down near the curb of the TCC as it was a beautiful day out and I wanted to check out all of the hot cosplaying females. I was not dissapointed. I sat down curbside next to a young-man who later identified himself as Wesley. I introduced myself to Wesley: "Sup, I'm Lito, from San Diego." At this moment, a voice behind-and-to-the-right of me piqued, "Lito? Litodude from San Deigo?"I turned around, and saw the two young men sitting not 4 feet (1.2m) away from me.

And that's how I met MrPop and Spenner.

We exchanged greetings, went our separate ways, and I continued the rest of my day hanging out and taking pictures with a new acquaintance of mine the rest of Friday. Mostly, I took pictures of league of legends cosplays, WHICH IS LINKED HERE, but I will be including all of the other cosplays I took pictures of in the links below.

After a long day of getting merchandise, eating Canadian food, and losing my wallet, I decided it would be the best time to head home, charge my phone and hopefully find a connection. Prior to this, I was told that Kommi's group was eating at a pizza place and see if I could find them there. Fortunately I do see the hungry ITG nerds scarfing down some pizza. An amazing reunion between old friends, Kommi and I, and comical acquaintance between new friends from around Canadaland.

You were right, Chris, I did not recognize you with a shirt on.

After sometime, we part ways, and I go back to the Holiday Inn, take a shower, and make my way down to the lobby as the hotel room I was staying in had a weak Wi-Fi connection. I am on the 8th floor. I arrive at the ground floor, my face buried in my phone to try and get signal, and step out of the elevator as a young man brushes past me and walks in.

"Hey Litodude, it's Covey. Coveyduck."

wat

My thoughts still on trying to contact my bank to cancel my cards as I've lost my wallet, I couldn't really process what was going on IRL in front of me. This young man from ffrvc who later becomes my wing-man for the entire weekend just coincidentally met me at the elevator of a hotel that we both just happened to stay at - after he just came back from dropping people off

wat


Initially he was looking for The Gods, as he could not enter the hotel room he was in due to a shitty card reader; I offered my room as solace, and because I have an extra bed. We chill, we drink, I introduce him to the LoL room at the Sheraton, we eat, and head back to the Holiday Inn. Fortunately around 2am The Gods are back in their respective rooms. The shear pressure of having 3 gods in a room together made the room so incredibly hot I felt like I was Bardock getting vaporized by Freeza. We meet, we chill, I retire for the night, while The Gods + Covey decide to marathon White Chicks reruns x3. Truly a testament to their fortitude.

Saturday: As I continue to look for my wallet at the TCC, Covey and I decide to meet with the other group who were staying at the DTree/IPlaza. Kady, Becky, Brandon, the regulars of TCFFRVC, and the couple Will+Amy: you guys are all great. Grandiose even. Great company; chill as fuck; funny as fuck. Though some of you may know me as a flamer I truly could not match the liters of Haterade you guys must have consumed. For that I applaud you *clap*

nah jokes, you guys are awesome, lmfao.

We go our separate ways and reconvene for the 6pm meet-up; I apologize for not being there as I was busy in the League schooling nerds as the group picture was being taken, but I'm sure you guys had your hands full anyway

Interjecting in the story here to give a big thanks to tyson_ultima. Forreal dude you really went above and beyond to get the poutine cheers together. And I know the logistical challenges that it was to get everything right (fuck you danceguy) so big props on ya mayn.

Anyways a bunch of you young whipper-snappers decided to do other stuffs but like old men, covey and I decided to retire for the night. Sara, who had more energy than probably 40 of you combined joined us and unfortunately I did not get a picture of her with her Master[bate] Sword and Hyrule shield, I can guarantee you she was Vans off-the-wall ecstatic about it...which is great but good lord why did you have to make us old men deal with this young-whipper snapper? Truth be told, our fangurl1 was super tits legit and as we stopped by The Room of The Gods that night I'm sure they can all agree as well

Sunday Funday: I honestly believe Sunday was the most fun day all-in-all when it came to the FFR. I honestly don't have the energy right now to write about it, but the tl;dr version is: Peeps went to Canada Wonderland, we had an amazing time, and then a end-of-day dinner at Swiss Chalet to say or goodbyes really just put everything over the top. From chilling in wonderland with the ffrvc krew, tyson and his boi (fuck i forgot your name what is it?), Stain Luis & Ally, to the dinner with all of you (ohsogetsilly, notsosmartdude, gigantic big guy who kept me safe during the wooden roller-caoster ride, sour-cream man, silvuh, and everyone else whom i might've forgotten), that last gathering was hilarious, epic and the best conclusion to a meet-up anyone could ask for. Thank you all for making it amazing!!

I'm singling out a few individuals, not because I didn't have equal respect for everyone there, but they really went out of there way to make my time at AN so fucking enjoyable:

danceguy: Pete, dude, thanks for fucking paying for my meal on Sunday night. I appreciated it immensely and I'm glad to have met you when you were at your prime (drunk a f). Also, did you know you look kind of like nforcer? haha thanks again

Ally: Thanks to you also, for paying for me lmao. I'm glad you were the POC to make sure everyone could convene together at the end! And yes, I did get your skype message; no worries it's just a shirt!

Andrew (covey): cough the third person to pay for all my shit lmfao. seriously thanks for being quite possibly the chillest/nicest dude there who drove everyone and spent so much dough to ensure everyone had a good time and that people were getting to where they needed to be safely. Next year, no more car yeah? Just bus to Toronto hahaha.

For the above mentioned, PM me your routing/account numbers and bank infos so I can wire you some moneys. Oh and your actual names would probably be helpful too!.

I'll be posting the most memorable or funnies pictures below, and I'll post an album later assuming I have consent from everyone to show their faces to the public.

Cheers everyone, 'till next time!

Re: Anime North 2014 discussion/hype/planning thread

I was amazed at how strong the turnout for the Burger's Priest was, especially since I've never really advertised it that much. Getting 15 people to show up to Feast at the Priest and then bring our burgers to McDicks across the street was an absolutely incredible experience, and Maggie gets full credit for that idea. The shocked look of the cashier's faces when I glanced at them was hilarious. I've been doing the Priest Run since 2012 and I live and die by these burgers because I haven't had anything better. (Holy Chucks is comparatively close, but not quite).

High Park didn't quite go as planned, but that was because of a grave mistake I made - I told the people who agreed to go to High Park to meet there..but I failed to tell everyone to meet at a specific point. A problem when the only contact I had was Ally. A bigger problem when High Park is 161 hectares big. Whoops!

Spoiler has some group shots.



Thanks everyone for coming to the Fantastic Friday Feast at the Priest. See you next year. ##
