NJ's Canadian Adventure - Day 6

I was going to write an essay on procrastination but I found something better to do.

Sunday May 27th 2007
Hellday

I woke up in a bad mood, it was supposed to be maidboy day but from about Thursday night's breakdown I knew that wasn't going to happen. So I got into normal clothes and went with Jess and Sarah to check out Cafe Nocturne at the Renaissance. This was probably the worst decision I made all trip. When we got there and were looking for the cafe I was collared by Gryvon (the Yaoi North organiser) asking if I was the guy looking after the viewing room last night. The DVD player and DVD box had gone missing. It took every fibre of resolve I had to keep from crying in front of that group, it was horrible to be standing there knowing I was responsible for losing a potentially unrecoverable collection of DVDs. I told them everything I knew and went searching for the cafe again.

The queue for the cafe covered the entire 8th floor of the hotel. We didn't get to go in.
We headed to the dealers room to try and take my mind off things, neither Sarah or Jess mentioned the DVD issue again.

I should say that I don't know if the DVD player and DVDs were found, I really don't want to know either as if they weren't I couldn't cope with the amount of guilt that would bring to me.

After a bit of splurging in the dealer's room we grabbed some people (George) and headed to a steakhouse for lunch. I was again the only one with an actual steak, everyone else had chicken

Then it was back to the dealers room. Which was closed. So we trekked round Artist Alley for a bit and I picked up some stuff.

The hotel room was packed that night, people had come by for a giant robot marathon as James put on some of his aquisitions. He was extremely happy with the amount of giant robot stuff he'd accumulated. I settled on the other bed with a few other people from James' group to read some manga. I also got some payback from Allan when I nicked his (warm) spot on the bed in the form of a full body pin and tickling torture. Eventually the room emptied and I got to bed, the con was over.
