A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you've been taking. ~Earl Wilson

Well, the yearly trip to Megacon was one of the better ones. For starters we had a new member to "Team Neko" It was her first big convention and her birthday. I really needed it this time. The way February has gone with work, one of my dogs passing away, the family, some friend issues and my grandmother's health, I needed the getaway. I (for once) didn't buy any weapons. Pocky on the other hand, I dropped over $100.00. The vendor asked if there was any flavors I was looking for and I told him something I've never had before. That night he made a trip back to his home in Lakeland (that's a hell of a drive from Orlando) to try to find some Pocky that I haven't had before. He and his wife got very excited when I said that he did indeed bring a few that I've never had and to top it off he gave me a free Ramune (lychee). He was happy, I was happy we all won. If you know me you know I'm addicted, let's just stop it there. There'll be pictures of the Pocky haul later on. I spent over $200 on Graphic novels and manga (mainly on Graphic novels) got some stuff for some friends who couldn't make it to the con. I also got a bunch of other stuff (lot of Green Lantern swag) ya prolly wouldn't care about. When all was said and done I think everyone had a good time and I was able to escape most of the current problems that are plaguing my life. Now to start planning on next year -- Green eyed Dragon

Now watch and enjoy: Here's a few Pocky ad's
