I was at Walgreen's picking up cough medicine@_@ Turns out I was coming down with bronchitis at the con. I'm lucky I took good care of myself there  and avoided it from becoming pneumonia

No where nearly as epic as Zog's report, but none-the-less here's my day by day down to the hour blocks

Whoa what a Memorial day weekend, I needed another day to recuperate because I got sick/lost my voice on Tuesday.

I worked like crazy (12+ hour shifts again) almost like Cirque except I had WAY more fun. Guest services, line controls, Ushering, Safety & Security, Reports, Convention Operations, escort Detail, Bouncer and general Logistics and Registration duties... yah I did all that and then some.

Thanks so much for guys visiting me while I was working!!!   It was really sweet of you ladies/gents to randomly finding me on random days, but the REAL parties happened Friday, Sat, and Sunday nights! Here's my recap:


Thursday:
4pm to 8pm – Pre-registration badge pick ups & line control... Busy lines (ask everyone who saw how busy I was) they tried to say hi while I was juggling random people. And I felt bad for not being able to hang out with you guys and gals. Sorry! >_<

8pm to 11pm – Fanime's Swap Meet. Its sorta like a flea market, pre registered folks are invited to sell/trade their stuff.

11pm to 2am – Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull – awesome!!!

Friday:
6am to 4pm – Registration/ An Cafe Line Control Working around the Con – randomly surprised my work with 2 HOT girls dressed up in costume with me. I have a random office thats off of Park avenue...

5pm to 7pm – Helping a friend drive to Oakland to pick up a new car! – She bought a Honda Hybrid.

8pm to 10pm – Dinner (Massive amounts of Pizza and drinks) and hanging out in the hotel room: Hot girls dancing in the window for kicks so I invited them to...

10pm to 1am – DANCE/RAVE!!! – but the HOT girls had to stop early because they were wearing high heals... ouch!

Saturday:
6am to 11am – Working around the Reg line and An Cafe Concert ticket pick up line. Mingling with cute and costumed girls is awesome

11am to 7pm – Working at our Maid Café – girls dress up as cute maids and serve you foods, mingle and role play (appropriately of course!) I was one of the Bouncers to keep pervy fanboys in check.

7pm to 10pm – Sushi with the HOT girls! All you can eat + Sake = good times.

11pm to 2am – More DANCING! Got VIP treatment (walked right passed super long line) – Girls got harassed by pervs (ask about side story if you want...), but Pervy guys got thrown out with my help and the night security Teams.

Sunday:
6am to 11am – Reg line + massive line for Concert ticket pickups (An Café) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antic_Cafe

11am to 2pm – Helping at the Maid Café

2pm – 7pm – Managing a line of 2500+ Fans of An Café.

Think about a line starting in front of Manpower's (my work office chain) Office on Park Ave. walking towards Market towards the (Tech Museum), then from Market going on to Santa Clara towards the front of the Civic Auditorium! so yah it felt like a LONG line... especially since I was trying to keep the peace of screaming rabid fangirls.

7pm – 10pm – An Café Concert @ the SJ Civic Auditorium = mass female Hysteria. Mosh pits are interesting, but I probably wouldn't do it again... unless I had riot gear.

10pm – 2am – One last nite of DANCING! – I felt like that guy in Hitch, instead of just being an 'escort' I got to dance a little with one of the Hot girls I was crushing on twas nice.


Monday:
730am to 11am – ('accidentally' slept in...) Walking around general Convention area keeping the peace.

11am to 12pm – An Café's Autograph signing to the limited general public – Seeing girls nearly faint for being 3ft. in front of their favorite band member was pretty funny. I counted at least 29 girls crying of Joy in a line about 150 fans.

12pm to 1pm – Checking out of the trashed hotel... partied like a Rockstar? Sure did.

1pm to 2pm – An Café's Q&A Panel line control... 300 Harecore fans... I made them line up via doing a Conga line. Hey it worked. 

2pm to 3pm – An Café's Q&A – Fans nearly killed me when their NO camera/video rule was changed 5 MINUTES before the Panel started. I seriously saw my life flash before my eyes. At least I would have been torn to shred by a rabid mob of J-rock Fans... would have interested way to go. All turned out OK, and the Q&A was actually pretty fun.

3pm to 4pm – An Café's secretive Staff Autographs: I gave my spot away to the 2 Hot girls I'd been hanging out with all weekend. Yah, I gave the girls a little more VIP treatment, because I'm cool like that. 

4pm to 6pm – An Café's security detail, they have a private conference, meeting with our Executives and exclusive press interview for our Evaluation of how they liked North America (as a whole Nation) San Jose was their first time concert in America!
Check out their An Cafe's Thank you VIDEO! -

6pm to 9pm – Final debriefing of the Convention as a whole, checking the Convention Center and most area were cleared out by then with a couple of exceptions here and there.

9pm to 12am – Randomly driving home friends from the Convention.

I'm exhausted and my voice is still gone.
I <3 being a nerd. 
Hot girls <3 nerds like me. 

It's a shame I only saw questionette for like 5 seconds before she walked into the Dealers room. We need to change that! and when my house is ready. I think its time for another JERRY-CON during the summer.

  Can I get a HELL-YAH on that? 
So according to my notes. I was finishing up my shift at the Reg/An Cafe lines.
Yeah, ive tracked my time down to the blocks of hours. I'm THAT weird.  :P

Oh man, I was just thinking of what I was doing this time last week. Man, can't believe it's already been a week :(.

I believe around this time, I was waiting in line for An Cafe tickets~

Kaura117

Man, it's Friday already.

Right about this time, I was in the dealer's room, admiring a high-carbon, authentically forged katana blade. It had a dull gleam under the fluorescent lights- a vastly different feel to it than the standard, cheap stainless steel ripoffs you find in most places, its hundreds of folds like a torrential river across its surface. This was what they meant when they said that Japanese blades were an art unto themselves.

I was on my way to the Fire Emblem Gathering.  :)

Good god, it's been only a week and I can't remember exactly what it was I was doing. Let's see....I think I was either together with my roomies as they were getting their badges...or we were doing Irish Carbombs in the bathtub at our hotelroom XD I'm leaning towards the Irish Carbombs, lol.
