Adventures of Blizzcon: Prelude

It was quite a day and I am exhausted. Here’s the barely concious version of today: I awoke early at 7:30 this morning (Hey, come on, this is early for me) and called Joe to wake him up and tell him to get his tail over to my place. By 8;30 we were en route to the Anaheim Convention Center, a one-hour drive on a good day. The drive went smooth, other than one unintentional detour into the Disneyland parking lot, and we arrived at about 10:15. We wandered around for about 15 minutes looking for the registration office where we were informed that registration would not take place until 4pm. Unfortunately, we were under the impression that registration started at 9am (you know, like it said before they changed it). This unfortunately pretty much changed our days entire plans. We had anticipated waiting for an hour tops and being able to catch our afternoon classes. We ended up just sticking around for five and a half hours. We had pizza for lunch and were near the front of the line to get our passes and loot. Didn’t take long to get in and get out, and we made it back into town at around 6:45. It sucked, but was totally worth it. Now I just have to endure one more drive to Anaheim and back, but we get to actually enjoy the convention. Hopefully I won’t be tarred and feathered, being a Warhammer player at a mainly World of Warcraft themed event.
