When you get the energy, I need details!

OMG BAE I WISH YOU AND AMBER WERE THERE WITH US :c (Naomi shared vid of you two at SDCC hehehe)

Ok you guys, here's my rundown of my weekend at WSA.

Met up with Amelia and Jackie Friday afternoon and went down to the con. Couldn’t go 2 feet without someone stopping Amelia or Jackie for a pic of their cosplays lmaooooo. Met rooker-92 and czaritsa and talked to Cudlitz and Melissa Ponzio.

Shana got in early that evening (poor bby got stuck behind a wreck again but at least it wasn’t for 3 hours this time). Met up with her at the hotel and met her dad :D He was nice.

Went back to the con for a bit before heading to dinner with a bunch of people but other than Naomi, Molly, and Connor (he cosplays Aaron and Carol) I can’t remember names. >_> I’m so sorry, I’m terrible.

In the middle of eating, freaking Ross Marquand walks in, and heads to the bar. O_O After a little while, one of us went over to him to say hello or something I’m not sure, and Connor is about to die because he loves him so much.

Next thing we know the waitress is coming over with a tray of shots from “a guy at the bar” and we collectively lose our shit because OMG ROSS BOUGHT US SHOTS AND OMG HE’S COMING OVER AND OMG HES CHATTING WITH US AND SITTING WITHUS AND DOING IMPRESSIONS OF MATTHEW McCONA-WHATEVER AND KEVIN SPACEY AND OMG HES TAKING PICS WITH US AND OMG IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING???????

Yeah, one of the highlights of my weekend right there. That never happens to me.

After that I got dragged around to bars until we finally settled on the con hotel bar and hung out for a couple hours. Shana and I headed back a little early (so frazzled omg @_@) and who do we run into? Ross. Lmaoooo we just waved and kept going.

Saturday we managed to drag ourselves out of bed and into Melissa’s line for 4 hours or so. I about died. My poor lower half :c. But so worth it, hanging out with everybody *cries* Everyone else was freaking about meeting Mel so I get shoved to the front because I’m so zen which gave me the epic opportunity to snap pics of each of them meeting her after my turn (I gave her the artwork y'all been seeing me working on and asked her to give Carol all the hugs) AND THEN I GOT THREE MINUTE VIDEO OF SHANA MEETING MEL AND MEL WAS STROKING HER ARMS IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND ILL MAKE SURE YOU SEE IT WHEN I GET MY PHONE HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER TOMORROW. ACTUAL BEST (and of course, out of respect to Mel, I did not record her. all you see are her hands, just wanna be clear).

After that though, I was in so much pain and had to go back to the hotel for a nap. :cccccccc

Got up and started getting ready for the Halloween party, got my Max going on. I’m sure there’s more pics somewhere >_>. We went out to dinner and I got to be super salty about a certain AoU director again. I love dinner discussions lol.

We spent about twenty minutes at the party and found ourselves back at the con hotel bar hanging out all night chatting. @illusianation or @carol-on can someone tell me the name of the lady and her mom that joined us? She was great. Basically Shana’s twin lmao regaling us with tales of volunteering for Walker Stalker Con but I’m not at liberty to share the dirt ;)

Then Sunday we got up again and I had to take my bags from the hotel with Shana, Amelia, and Jackie back to the con hotel my brother was at so I made it to the con floor a little sooner. Headed over to Ross to talk with him for a bit and I swear he’s just a giant cinnamon roll. He was flailing over Connor and how he was the first person he knew of to start cosplaying Aaron and he was just so super happy with the custom funko pop doll of Aaron Connor gave him that he had it with him at the table today. He’s just so fucking precious. He waved Jordan (Eric) over since he’s from Tennessee too and I got a pic with them. OMG show please long live Aaron and Eric. Precious cinnamon rolls. Too good for this world. Too pure.

After that, Shana and her friend Amanda that arrived that morning were at Mel’s booth so I headed over there. Since I had a gold pass I got to meet Mel first again and had her sign another print of my drawing to give to Shana. I told her Shana liked Carol first (you know, loved her from the beginning is what I meant) so Melissa wrote “Shana! You’ve known it all along! Love you -Melissa McBride” and I’m just a giant ball of smush and so happy I got to give that to her. :3

Hanging with Shana, Amelia, Jackie, Naomi, Connor, Molly, and everyone else (I’m so sorry I’m so terrible with names. ^_^’) was really the highlight of the weekend but the people who weren’t there was definitely felt by all.

Is it too much to hope for a McReedus photo op at WSATL '15? Maybe it's better we don't get one. Cuz I'd die.
