Re: Anime north 2015 hype thread
I keep getting distracted by life things but I'll write my shoutout post on a plane tomorrow. \o/
(so by that I mean check your local skies I've dumped a lot of money into fly-by shoutouts and I don't want anybody missing out on this)Last edited by smartdude1212; 05-29-2015, 12:43 AM.Comment

Re: Anime north 2015 hype thread
Shout-outs and recap will be coming sometime this week, as well as my failure at getting a selfie with everyone there (damn you Wonderlaaaaaaaaaaand).
Either way, I leave you all with this to whet your appetites:
EDIT:
Also this

Re: Anime north 2015 hype thread
Wow! It’s safe to say any expectations I once had for my first Anime North were completely blown away. This weekend felt very reminiscent of the first VancouFFR meetup. After five minutes of meeting someone for the first time, we are joking with eachother as if we had known eachother for years, because really, we have!
Team VancouFFR, I will never forget waking up every morning to simultaneous air raid sirens, church bells, and smooth jazz. Thank you Adam for your persistence, and bullying/degrading me for months until I finally caved. Without good friends to travel with, I would have never considered making the trip. Four days is not enough time to spend with everyone, so I am very thankful I get the opportunity to hang out with you guys every week. 1 month hype for the VancouFFR potluck!
I successfully crossed Smokes off my AN bingo card after eating a total of one cold poutine fry (lovingly donated by Sky Kitten). Next year, I want to make the effort to travel downtown, and divulge on delicious bacon poutine with friends. Wonderland and the rave are also on that list, but I’m very glad how, and with who I spent that time with instead.
Here are a few Hallmark quotes I particularly enjoyed from this weekend:
“You should really take a shower.” “I want to bathe in your fluids.”
“I’ve always seen you as more than a friend; I’ve seen you as food.”
“I thought this was the question bucket, but it’s just a bucket of lube.”
Late shoutouts! Unfortunately, I can’t write a shoutout for everyone I met (or I would be here until next AN), but it felt absolutely surreal meeting each one of you.
arcnmx: You initially seemed pretty shy when I met you, but breaking the ice with you in the DDR room was great. It was cool to meet someone who has been involved with the development of FFR for so long. I harbour no negative feelings about you totally ditching me in ITG… But next year I will be demanding a rematch!
bmah: bmah! I really didn’t expect you to be so bubbly and playful in person. You were a blast to be around all weekend, and the fun didn’t stop even after we arrived at the airport. Thanks again for sharing your sunchips with me for the foodless flight home. And thank you for finally popping The Question: I would love to collab with you! <3
DAnceguy117: You look like the world’s proudest boyfriend in every picture. You were such a good sport about the dramatic reading of our fan fic, it might even elicit a second volume.
Funnygurl555: The man, the myth, the wolf. Hopefully all that fur kept you warm during that bone-chilling, plane-infested game of twig. I look forward to playing werewolf with you next year (yes, you are coming i’ve already made up my mind).
Hateandhatred: Mistakes were made. Memories were created. A legend was born. Your admin totem pole was easily one of my favorite life moments. I barely talked with you at all, so I’ll let you off the hook for not serenading me in person. But it’s sad that I won’t get to see you again for a very long time.
Izzy: You were the first fifferer I have met outside the province. You seemed to keep to yourself most of the con, but you were a funny and easygoing guy. I look forward to smashing with you again next year.
Jtehanonymous: I am honored to join your pact to achieve D7 with remedy by Anime North 2016. Now we just have to decide on a fair and cruel punishment for those who break our pact…
MarioNintendo: You were one of my favorite personalities of the con. Too bad we only got to play one set of ITG together this year.. Thanks again for your gracious invitation to Room Quebec. I feel guilty for completely forgetting about your offer. If the offer still stands next year, I would love to spend more time with you.
SCWolf: You look like the moderator of a fitness sub-forum. It was fun watching you play ITG at such a high level, and I definitely regret never introducing myself during the con.
Sky Kitten: The “FFR North” MVP award goes to Ally, our IRL community manager. It was so cool to see everyone I met look up to you. My final verdict is you give great hugs, and are a pretty cool cat. :3
Staiain: I thoroughly enjoyed sitting with you at the “kids table” on Thursday night. I was ready to be glomped by a big viking hug, but you were actually a very gentle person.
thesunfan: I respect you immensely for volunteering to moderate that game of werewolf. I sincerely hope you will publish a certain document to the literature sub-forum soon (after some editing to protect the identity of the innocent).
TrixiePuff: You had so many hilarious stories to tell during Kings. Thank you for being so patient with me spilling beer all over your room, haha. Can’t wait to do it all again with you next year!
and now for the person important enough to break my alphabetical ordering…
Cold Kitten: Nothing brings two people together like a gay sex panel. Being showered in packages of lube and condoms by middle-aged men really forms the foundations of a great relationship, you know? I suppose we also have the Gumbi Squad to thank, and now that we are honorary members we NEED to cosplay as Gumbi #5 and #6 next year. I admit I didn’t expect to fall in love at an anime convention. I cannot wait to see you again next year-- except we won’t have to wait, see ya in Vancouver in August! I love you Tiffany. The distance hurts, but you make the distance between us seem so insignificantly small. <3
---
This convention took so many unexpected turns, and the feelings certainly flowed when I had to leave Monday morning. So thank you to everyone for making this weekend magical. And for anyone debating on attending-- say it with me: ANIME NORTH 2016 HYPE!Last edited by PrawnSkunk; 05-29-2015, 05:15 PM.Comment

Re: Anime north 2015 hype thread
so ait AN 2015. wow man.
2nd year not rooming with the main crew (gundam-dude, xiao, varun, brandon, LJ, etc).
Roomed with condor and gpop this year, hung out with them mostly. Things were way better than last year where I basically didn't get to see anyone. There are so many people now that I have a really hard time committing the amount of time i'd like to with each and every one of you. We all know each other from years and years ago and I feel like da ffr familia has grown quite large at AN. Really makes me wish I lived in Toronto to hang out with you guys more. It's really depressing leaving.
I got to meet some new people and it was pretty fantastic. Spent a decent amount of time in the games room as usual and got to spend more bro time with my old crew, even got a few games of mahjong in (not enough aaaaaa). I was following a schedule my gf and I had to maximize what we both wanted to do and it worked out quite well. Though next year I'm considering asking his holyness nigapat for a spot with the posse once more, since I really want to be more centralized with the group.
I didn't get to see tysonultima at all because every night he was in thai's room getting destroyed lmao. Team Quebec I saw a bit more of this year but will work on seeing you guys more next year. We flaked out on the rave friday due to exhaustion, and on saturday cuz gf was sick. Still had lots of fun with "kshootmania" tournament, but probably won't commit to something like that next year.
All in all it was amazing as ever, still my favorite weekend of the year and I really hope to see every single one of you again next year.

Re: Anime north 2015 hype thread
I don't think I can ever do a shoutouts post for one of these. To whomever would have their name bolded in this post: I'll see you on Skype, tgb, or wherever you may roam. As others have said, there were so many great people and so little time. Even if I didn't get a chance to spend quality time with you, I would have wanted to. If you ever swing by Alabama or a neighboring US state (??? why would you do that ???), please get in touch with me. If you're up for it, then we'll make something happen.
My second AN (2014) was very different from my first (2013), but this one felt even less familiar for me. I went to three panels (that's three more than my other two years combined!); I think I spent under an hour in the DDR room this time around. A day at Wonderland also meant a full day away from the con area for me. Don't get me wrong, though. I had an absolute blast! My new experiences were awesome, and I got to see so many new faces as well as my second family from years past. I only wish that life outside of AN would pause and wait for me until I could sit and talk with every single one of you.
Flowering Mango for life. Cheers, y'all. Have a great year!Comment
