Introducing Insanely Happy Kitt (NYAF Convention Report) (part two)

Mr. K was so entertaining at the dinner. He was so interested in us, asking questions and being cute. The restaurant had some pretty awful dinner theatre sort of enteraining going on, that repeated too often, and was too loud, but aside from that, it was awesome. I'd taken some glowstick bracelets, and Mr. K wanted to wear one. Unfortunately, most of the food contained cheese, and Mr. K doesn't like cheese. We know because he'd look down, say 'Cheese, cheese, cheese' while shaking his head 'no'. Of course we wanted pictures with him. One of the other fans came in a very impressive D costume. Mr. K gestured for the hat, so some people have pics with him wearing D's hat. The look on his face when they brought out his birthday cake with sparklers on top was priceless. Horrified that they were bringing something on fire to the table! After a while he got a bit bored, asked Kevin for a little notebook and started doodling a cute chibi D. Looking at it now (I have one of the two he drew before people brought out books to be signed) I think it's supposed to be Mr. K as D (since D has glasses, very genki eyes, and a round face).

Saturday evening I went to visit Ghosty (voice actor David Wills) at his radio show at FDU -- and was on the air, too! That was fun, meeting him, Gerry, and Jenn (other fans of his show) in person.

Friday and Saturday at the con, I attended two voice acting workshops, and had a chance to go up on stage and read for a contest Sunday. The prize was a voice acting contract. I didn't make it past the first round (I didn't expect to) but, it was awesome reading for Michael Sinterniklaas (the voice of the Dark Magician/Mahaad!) and he actually joked with me a bit before I started my piece. After that, I went to the autograph session for the voice actors.

I got to give Michael the fancel of the Dark Magician I painted in a frantic hurry to him -- personally. It was so amazing! His entire face lit up (mouth open, eyes shining bright like a child's) when he saw it -- then he looked down as if to figure out where to sign it and then I told him it was a gift for him. (Is it so wrong for me to enjoy having made a voice actor speechless for a moment? *ebilgrin*) His smile became utterly incredible, then he stood up, reached over the table, and hugged me! *fangirl bliss!* He hesitated before signing the Dark Magician card I brought to make certain it was okay. I told him I could always get another card and the opportunity to get his autograph was too good to pass up. ^_^

So, in a nutshell, I didn't have a good time at the con -- I had an amazing, incredible, marvelous, awesome, unbelievable *dashes off to strip the thesaurus of all the superlative words it has and put them into this post*
