Final Boss Con - May the Fourth Be With You

Not to mention it was also free comic book day and Derby Day (but I was so unmoved by that this year I still haven't even looked up who won).




I'm going to be honest, when they held Final Boss con at my university last year (in July) I wasn't there but didn't expect much of it. I talked to the showrunners last year as well (at a different event) and suggested doing it DURING a semester as we're a commuter college for the most part. They were already hoping to and so they did this year. I went expecting nothing.

I got a filled parking lot, people everywhere and two entire basketball courts filled with vendors. Color me pleasantly surprised. Shockingly no The Owl House Stuff but I did find one vendor with some Hazbin Hotel pins and got me some Huskerdust. There was a dice guy I've seen elsewhere but the geek boys were thicker than flies in a stable so I wasn't going to get into that mess.

I saw the author I bought from in Ohioana Book fest and we talked a while. Got some Christmas gifts and hit the food trucks (dear roach coach, Lo Mein sauce is more than you pouring on soy sauce (with rosemary for some fucking reason) your raspberry spicy sauce for dipping the rangoons was delicious so you do understand sauce on some level (or bought this somewhere) I dumped the left over raspberry onto the lo mein to cut the saltiness.

Then it was off to free comic book day. People everywhere. I think they gave away a lot of stuff but I got several I wanted. There was a mystery pull in my pull pile and I'm like did I do that? They say yes. I THINK it's something I saw on Blue Sky, some gothic thing. I took them because why not.

Then it was on to home goods where it was STILL Black Friday level crowds (mother's day I guess) with literally over 50 people in line (I was there 40 minutes I swear) but I found the new towel organizer I wanted for the bathroom (mine is broken and there is no storage in my bathroom) and a new soap dispenser (Stitch from Lilo and Stitch), some rose turkish delight because I make bad choices and a two foot long cement triceratops garden sculpture that I said couldn't come home with me but somehow was in my cart at the end of the day (and the cashiers tried to steal him). Yes pictures, but not yet because it's raining like I should be building an arc. The floodles along Route 2 are so big and long standing water plants are moving in and a family of ducks was on it.

Since I forgot my reading glasses on the grading pile, I went to my usual restaurant and got my usual pineapple and shrimp tacos and they were having 5$ margaritas for Cinco de Mayo weekend (watermelon thank you) I then went to booksamillion, sampled a new manga and got the unbirthday cake mocha (which no lie the last quarter was pure hershy's syrup) to let the tequila, sugar and caffeine battle it out on the way home.
