So the last few days have been a mad rush to prepare and then the craziness of attending BlizzCon 2009!
Thursday evening was a guild party at which gathered many of the people I play WoW with on the US servers. It’s always nice to put faces to characters, even if I struggle to remember all their real names!
I think there must have been 40+ people at the party, it was a good night and I think fun was generally had by all.
BlizzCon started on Friday so after the guild party we all drove over to stay at Anaheim near the convention center which meant not having to drive over in the morning through rush hour traffic.
Friday and Saturday were the madness that is BlizzCon itself. I admit I had no idea what to expect but I did enjoy the whole event. The best part was getting to hang around with my fellow guildies, they’re good people.
On the Friday night, after the event had wrapped up for the day, we headed out to dinner with the cast from “The Guild” webshow. Unfortunately my sugar level dived somewhat due to the lateness and me not having eaten for half a day which meant I was pretty much out of it the whole time.
Still, I was present so it’s always something 😉 They probably now think of me as the weird Scot who sat at the end of the table and ignored everyone.
I did have the presence of mind to chat a little to the ones closest to me at the table but sparkling wit and conversation were most definitely not my forte on the night.
The con was rounded off with an Ozzy Osbourne concert. I can now say I have attended one of his shows and survived. Can’t say I’m a huge fan but he did put on a good show and plenty of people enjoyed it 🙂
We drove back home this morning, dropping Aeyla off on the way at the airport for his trip home. The afternoon has been spent chilling and watching season two of “The Guild” followed by a couple of heroics in wow.
The plan for this evening (for me at least) is to chill out and try to get some rest. My hosts have some people round soon for a regular meeting so I’ll go lie down for a bit and stay out of the way.
I know this post doesn’t really say much but I’ll post with more info at a later date, just wanted to let people know I still live.
