Known for...that username.

I wanted to attend PAX, but I had no one to go with and it was too much money for me at the time. I guess for me though, Sakura-Con is easy for me because I know someone who has a room that they are willing to share with me and I got a free ride down. Next year I don't think it will be easy for me again though. And yeah, there was a lot of pony merch at Sakura-Con last year, especially in the Artist Alley. Though, a lot of them went to Everfree as well, which, I still need to attend to as well. The one pane I went to was sort of a kickoff starter for Everfree NW actually.

I've been to it about three times (this will be my fourth time going) and it's awesome. The attendance is always 12K+ every year and they have quite the layout. Last year, I went to a few pony panels and bought lots of pony merch and some anime stuff. But yeah, Sakura-Con does require a lot of investment.

Sakura-Con is in Seattle, Washington. I guess I should have specified that. It's sort of a long trek across the Northwest, but I know lots of people have done it before.

So I know some people have been talking about going to Sakura-Con and I am going as well. Is anyone else going to Sakura-Con this year as well? If so, maybe we can get a meetup going or something.

Even if you don't end up going this go around, I have a feeling the next time they have a convention it will be somewhere in Alberta!

I read quite a lot. Online and offline. Currently I am writing Our Federal Union by Issac Asimov and For A New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto by Murray N. Rothbard, both very good reads.

1. What grade did you learn to type in? And have you ever used an ordinary typewriter, whether it was electric or manual? I learned to type with a keyboard, particularly ones from the older Windows 98 and XP computers. The good ol' white plastic ones. I did not really get into learning how to fully type until middle school. 2. What was your first home video game system and what year did you get it? The Nintendo 64. I remember when I was five and my step dad came home through the front door holding the box with the console in it. It came with Diddy Kong Racing and I loved that game a lot. It was about.. 2000 I assume. 3. What is the oldest car, make and model year, you can remember your family owning? The oldest car I can recall my mother owning when I was very young was her 1993 Subaru Legacy. I grew up in that car until she sold it to my older brother and revamped the car, I rode in it a few months ago and it was great and it put me through deep nostalgia. 4. Did you ever have first generation My Little Ponies or Transformers? If so, when did you get them? I wasn't really into MLP or Transformers, even at a young age. Though, I was curious about ponies back in 2008. 5. Who was the earliest president, prime minister, governor, head honcho, etc. of your country that you have a first hand memory of? Off the top of my head? Probably George Bush, seeing that he was sworn in 2000. Although, I was young enough to remember the election in 2004. 6. Do you recall smoking being allowed in workplaces where you live? US members under 20 will generally say no but answers from other countries may vary. Not really, smoke-free zones were implemented when I was very young. 7. Did you ever use old-style roller skates instead of roller blades? Not really. 8. Did you ever use a pre-Windows PC? Ehhh, no, like I said, my first computer was the Windows 98. 9. Remember “Be kind, please rewind”? Yes, we used to get a lot of videos from Blockbuster and we owned several VHS tapes with the sticker on it. 10. Name the first big blockbuster movie you recall watching in a theater that wasn't a re-release. That's a toughie, the only big movies I remember seeing in theaters as a young kid was movies like Star Wars Episode II, Atlantis the Lost Empire, Harry Potter and the Sorcerers' Stone and Finding Nemo. So it was either of those.

Sandvichz I play TF2, I just need to get back into it though, I haven't been playing much because of school/work, but hopefully soon.

I personally loved Adult Swim's Bumps from 2008-2010. They used a lot of my favorite music groups songs, usually WARP material. It was nostalgic and melancholic and went well with the evening mood. I don't even know what they are like now.

Can't say I've seen you around a lot. 5/10.

Well, it is a traveling convention. Their soul intention is to travel across the country every year to each province, so there may be a chance.

I also think banning large soda drinks will have a great impact on some how people will gain weight. I beleive we will see a significant decrease in obesity rates. Thanks Bloomberg!

As my law teacher would put it: It goes to show that the teacher is lazy and would rather assign people work that could have been taught more efficiently in class.

No it's Luna

Yay :3

"The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed a standard citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. School days, I believe, are the unhappiest in the whole span of human existence. They are full of dull, unintelligible tasks, new and unpleasant ordinances, and brutal violations of common sense and common decency." - H.L. Mencken "The greatest danger to the State is independent intellectual criticism." - Murray N. Rothbard "My mind is my own church" - Thomas Paine
