Well, the time has finally come! In exactly 2 days, (God willing and if all goes smoothly) I will be arriving in Chicago, IL for my first convention-going experience EVER! And which convention should it be? None other than the Gathering of the Gargoyles! Man, I'm so excited I've met several people who are regulars so I'm already feeling quite comfortable. I'm psyched about trying out for the Radio Play, seeing the Anthologies book, taking the trip to the Navy Pier but most of all, to meet all of the guests and the people coming from different cities and maybe even parts of the world to unite as fans of this awesome show

Sadly, however, I will not be able to participate in the Art Show/Contest Since this is my first time @ the Gathering (and @ a convention for that matter), I figured I'd rather feel it out first so that I know what to expect next time when I DO sign up for the Art Show/Contest. Hopefully by next year, I would've improved my artistic abilities, too, so that way I'll be more confident in taking part in a public display of my work If the rumors are true, then next year's Gathering is going to be a BLAST!! I heard it's going to be in LA once again and I'll definitely be going to that one Maybe I'll take a roadtrip to get there? With the increase in fans and new releases of the comics and stuff, the Gathering going back to one of the biggest cities of the world should be amazing. I had read that MANY of the voice actors had attended and the events were a lot bigger, too

Tonight I've gotta buy a couple of extra things @ CvS but tomorrow, I have a TON of things to do before I head out Thursday morning T_T I have to do laundry, pack, clean my room extensively, learn how to put songs on an iPod, get a haircut, have breakfast w/ my friend Heather and make my lil sis a b-day card. My lil sister's b-day falls on the 26th so because of the Gathering, I won't be able to be here for it. But I'll make her a funny card to hold her off 'til then

I have a couple of drawings/gifts that I'm going to try to get done before I leave, too, but we'll see how well that goes

I'll be back to say my final "goodbye" and then it's off I go! By the way, for those who are going to Gathering, if you read this and you bought a Gargoyles shirt from Hottopic, please wear it to the airport or to the 1st day of the convention!! I'll be doing the same and a couple of others, too, so that this way, we can locate each other from the crowd and mingle, if you'd like ^_^
