#a-kon

I’m driving up now! I’ve met a few of you at cons, and I’m happy to do so again. Just message me if you’ll also be there today and we can find some time to meet, say hi, take a selfie!

I just regaled this tale to a friend of mine and suddenly felt like sharing, so here you go.

Did you or someone you know attend A-kon, an anime convention, in Dallas, Texas in the early 2000’s and remember or heard of an entire, very large hotel being evacuated at some ungodly hour? Did you ever wonder why? I know why. Oh how do I know. If you were there or are just curious about what happened, read on.

Okay, so I forget specifically what year it was. We went to A-kon in Dallas. Pretty big con. With great reluctance, my younger friend, Anna, was allowed by her parents to accompany me and my friend group on the condition that, of course, we watch over her. Anna is SUPER cute. This becomes an important fact shortly. 

So anyway, after a long day of cosplay and fun, we head up to our hotel room, and this group of three drunk dudes take an interest in Anna. Of course, being her temporary guardian, I went, OH HELL NO and got her away from them and safely in the room. There comes a knock at the door as I'm taking off my makeup, and I answer it. It's the goddamn frat boys, wanting to know if they can see Anna. I shut the door in their faces. They knock again. I tell them to stop or I will call security. They knock again. I don't answer. We go to bed, because it’s like 2AM. 

I am almost asleep...and the fire alarm goes off. Lights flashing, sirens blaring. We, along with several hundred other fucking people, all plod down the stairs in a huge herd (elevators are a fire no-no) and everyone waits outside sleepily to hear what's going on and wait for the fire department. Suddenly, from one of the balconies, having not evacuated, the fucking frat boys spot us and yell down, "HEY!! WE GOT YOU OUT! TAKE THAT BITCHES!"

I reported them, but went back to bed so have no idea what happened. But they weren't there in the morning, so…
