It was, by far, the BEST convention I have ever worked. Seriously, the best ever. It was amazing writing for and being part of the interactive events. Performing in the cut scenes was frightening and exciting, just like my old high school drama days. And the rave... Absolutely epic! The energy of the crowd was amazing. People chanted my name as I DJed. Kaze, Dragonmun and I really rocked the house, in the truest sense. I have nothing but love for those girls, and for everyone else who came out and had a great time.
I honestly can't imagine ever having a better time at a con. I'm on the pinnacle. The mountaintop of emotion and accomplishment I sought for so long within the fandom. I have realized that it does not matter where you are, what circle you run with, no matter how popular or important a goal may be, when you reach this spot, so many things no longer matter. There is only you, and the people who worked hard and got to this point with you. There is a bond that will endure despite anything reality can throw at us. By gods, we fucking made it, and it was god damned beautiful! There is a fire that burns in your mind that nobody can touch, but your friends and loved ones can see, and it's an amazing feeling. I've been here once before, with a great group of friends that I will never forget. We rocked AWA 2 years in a row, and the view from that pinnacle will be etched in my heart until I die.
If you were at AFO and got to take part in what we created, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you weren't, I'm sorry you missed it. There's always next year. For those that hope to accomplish something great in their lives, whether it's curing cancer or putting on a great show... do it. Work hard, stay positive, and fucking do it. Waste no time on the negative bastards that doubt you, save to learn how to do what you do better, and prove them wrong.
