Quezovercoatl's Super Doki-Doki Love-Love Botcon 2000 Report |

Wednesday, July 26th: The Saga Begins. . .
Against my better judgement (translation: despite my concern for my friends' and loved ones'
right to privacy and anonymity), I've decided to share my memories at Botcon with the rest of
the online community. All photos are reproduced with permission from the parties involved.
. . .
My story begins on Wednesday, the 26th of July. 'Twas a balmy day, the wind blowing in from
the northeast, when young Hawkins spotted a spout of water in the distance. "Whale! Whale!"
he shouted, waving his neckerchief as he leaned out of the crow's-nest, and the cry spread
from man to man. "Whale! Whale ahoy!"
On Wednesday, my partner SwiftEagle and I embarked on our great adventure.
Sadly, our mission was sabotaged by treacherous Double Agents Picard42 and Perceptor (TFWW), who cunningly told us that the bus to Picard42 (henceforth "Pic")'s place left from Gate 404, when the bus-folks assured us that it was from Gate 405. Or maybe someone had an out-of-date bus schedule. In any case, there was much confusion, culminating in Thylacine2000, Monocle, SwiftEagle, and myself awkwardly hanging out in a nexus of bus terminals, while Pic and Perc shuttled between that area and Gate 404.
I entertained myself by doing some light Jedi training with Yoda Furby, who tormented me and
taunted me for my lack of emotional control. Between bouts of trying to impale Yoda Furby
on my electronic interactive light saber TM, I joined the others in shouting out
Things were looking grim. Some of us entertained the notion that Lithrael might be any one of
the people passing us by.
A young lady wearing a Cobra-sigil baseball cap passed up by, but as she didn't respond to the bellows of "LITH!" or "STARSCREAM!" we assumed that it was just coincidence. A while later, Pic ushered us back to Gate 404, saying that Perc had just met Lith... who turned out to be the Cobra-cap lady, and was astonished to have somehow missed the hulking group of fanboys lurking at the terminal. As our cast was now complete, we hopped the next bus to New Jersey, were loud and obnoxious as we talked about Transformers and X-men porn, and took forever getting off of the bus due to our large Botcon luggage.
My memories of New Jersey are foggy, at best.
I think we may have gone to a comic shop after that, because I distinctly remember being
horrified at a collectible card game for girls (or pedophiles) called "Boy Crazy" or something,
in which you collect cards with pictures and vital statistics of young boys. Apparently you
can vote for your favourite Boy Crazy Boy at their website, to whose URL I will not link on
the off-chance that it's actually kiddy-porn.
Onwards and Upwards to Thursday!
