"Go milk! Be my sand to walk upon!" 
thus said the bottle of milk was spread all over the sand before the people continued walking on.

I've definitely been called one before!

Sometimes, people call me a son of a beach, and I thank them for that. It's motivating!

I lived under a rock until Fenris stole it a few weeks ago. He threw it somewhere and still hasn't given it back. Says he did me a favour.

I NEED THIS AS A T-SHIRT


helloooooooo forum! today was GREAT

- the cosplayers are getting better every year, seriously. and this year has been incredibly diverse, too - oddly few homestucks, shingekis, hetalians, and adventure timers compared to about. well. anytime else. There were three wirts though (from over the garden wall), but not a single steven universe cosplayer. what the HECK. also, a lot of sylveons?? usually there are a bazillion people in pikachu onesies but this year I've only seen a single pikachu but at least five sylveons??

- the reason I'm keeping such watch on this is because one of the things we arrange at the info desk is the Selfie Hunt. It's a fun game where people draw selfie challenges, like "take a selfie with a storm trooper" "take a selfie with someone from a sport anime" "take a selfie with the weird sink" "take a selfie with someone from lord of the rings" and so on, so we need to keep watch on what challenges to write and remove. (When people manage ten challenges, they get a super cool button! and this year we also had buttons in different colours so there were some people doing the challenge SIX TIMES to collect them all. it was intense and wonderful hahaha)

- the cosplayer who won the cosplay competition was actually the norwegian judge at the NCC, and the second-place winner of NCC was there too!! which means I've met people who have met laufey and i'm very excited about that

- "YOU HAVE A JOLTIK ON YOUR SHOULDER how does it even hold there what the heck"

- I'm not much of a photographer so I only took one photo, but it's this one:
you'll know where to find me.

...waiiiit wait wait wait the point is it's awesome to meet those people because they're awesome people, I sure hope no Laufeyness rubbed off on them during the NCC! :D Besides they're brilliant cosplayers. If you see Teddy tell him hi from me!

(Over the Garden Wall is beautiful and amazing and everyone should watch it.)

well, when I say "met them" i mean "handed Martine her guest badge" and "walked past jenny while she was telling other people how much she loves the pants she made and that she's gonna marry them" but I'm 100% certain they're super awesome people because cosplayers usually tend to be and I admire all of them a lot O: O: O:

and now I want a children's pool filled with plastic balls... why? just because!!!

THE BALL PIT WAS A GREAT IDEA and also maybe a teensy jab at dashcon. I taped a sign saying "you get an extra hour in the ball pit" on it this morning hee hee

the selfie game is THE BEST and so popular we're making it its own stand tomorrow, so the info desk isn't too crowded for people who actually want information woops. another fun game is the treasure hunt, which also means i and other volunteers gotta go around to hide the cardboard coins. love it
