Animania

Animania(Cloakroom section): [L-R] Anthony, Carmen, Jenn, Mario, Nhi

Animania was my weekend along with Jenn (no surprise there ;)). Another excuse to wake up at 5am (not happy). I actually enjoyed this one, for real. It was a nice surprise. To be honest I wasnt looking forward to this one out of the other events I volunteered for, but it proved to be better than the rest. Maybe it was just because all the volunteers were so friendly to one another.

Jenn and I were in Registration. Passing time by competing against each other in this lil game Johnny (fellow volunteer) suggested where we tried to register as many patrons as we could and whoever with the highest number wins (easy peasy right?). I lost count after 6 people (pathetic) but it was crazy fun, so much laughing and shouting and stuff.

Saturday was generally the "funner" day, while Sunday was pretty quiet and everyone (staff) had lost their energy (bored for long periods at a time). Jenn spent pretty much the whole Saturday being distracted by this dude Anthony, totally didnt let me have her attention at all (so mean!) but the other volunteers were so easy to talk too that I didnt feel so lonely, though I would have rather Anthony not hogging Jenn ALL the flipping day long. Actually they were entertainment for me and Mario (friend of Anthony's who pretty much got ignored too) they were acting like an old married couple, squabbling the whole time. Everyone noticed. Too funny.

On Sunday it was rather slow moving, not as many patrons as Saturday's crowd (the line ended in 20mins, while on Saturday it took nearly over 3hours to get everyone one through). That day someone decided it might have been better if we thumb-tacked the table cloths down to the table so that it would move about but it wasnt such a fab idea when everyone had such a difficult time securing the thumb-tacks to the table. Especially when Johnny (he sat next to me) had to somehow lose one of thumb-tacks, everyone thought it probably landed under the table and that it wouldnt hurt patrons/anyone, that is until a lil later I felt something prick my butt! and when I got up to find out what it was, I pulled out the missing thumb-tack out of my pants! Why me?!

Besides that lil incident, it was a good weekend (I may have drank a tad too much complimentary soft drink on Saturday, felt groggy on the way home, but all is good). I didnt buy anything this time besides food really :( I need to learn how to save. So no new photos of TOYS :( though I did get this WRIBS bracelet from Jackson (he runs PININ) so that brighten me up (I like having something to bring home on outings like this. But we got to keep our ID badges and T-shirts, so that's rad too ;)). Thats pretty much all I can say on this. until next time.
