As it turns out, I won't be going to MegaCon 2012 today. Too many complications with this morning (unpreparedness and etc.), and I had to run a bunch of errands, and collecting my pay came later than it was supposed to. However, it was all for the better anyway.
Checking out the main page for the event, it looks like the opening was delayed from 10AM to 1PM or something along those lines, rather hostile weather came along as well, and traffic would have been brutal today. So, instead I'll be going early tomorrow morning.
I'll be better prepared to leave early tomorrow (beating much of the traffic, and have an easier time finding a decent parking spot), and not have anything in my way schedule-wise. Just as well, I collected everything I needed from my sisters to get to the event anyway today (money for gas, entrance fee, food, and some extra if I find anything of interest; all as their collective birthday gift to me). Even better, it turns out I'll have a group I can tag along with tomorrow anyway (a girl my sisters know and her group of friends), and even better, I realized that where the convention takes place is right next to the same Dave & Buster's I hung out with my dad a week or so ago. So in essence, everything just about worked itself out today in preparation for tomorrow. Might spend the rest of my night (hopefully with some other people tagging along) and have dinner and play around there before I leave for home.
I hope I run into some interesting people while I'm there. I can always try to expand my social contacts (and hopefully clients for design work, God willing).
