I went to TooManyGames this year with @ThatRozebudGuy and I had a great time! I was at the con last year, with @J4DS, but I definitely wanted to be here this year for the NG meetup.

Among the people I met were:

@TomFulp, @Tamag0, @ErasmusMagnus, @IvanAlmighty, @ninjamuffin99, @PhantomArcade, @SrPelo, @KawaiSprite, @Bill. @Anislug, @EliteMasterEric, @SpinalPalm, @mitchelf, @emizip @BrolyNG, @HIBACHI, @PKettles, @Barnhouse and @moawling.

It was a pleasure meeting all of you! Hopefully at the next meetup I can get more people's names and signatures.

I was mostly looking for people I recognized with my interactions in the community, but meeting new people was fun too! I hope I can do that more at the next meetup. I feel bad for not getting everyone's names, forgetting some signatures, etc. It got a lil tiring towards the end of the week, I was exhausted from all the walking and socializing a bit. I met other people outside of the meetup, such as Tyler Bourke, as well as people I didn't even expect to meet, but turned out to be cool too! Oh yeah, I met Tamers12345, which was a pleasant surprise. Also been watching his stuff for a long time, it's funny as fuck.

I got signatures from Vinny Vinesauce, SomeCallMeJohnny, AVGN, Charles Martinet, and Johnny Gioeli at the signing booths. I also got Gioeli to sign a Sonic drawing I was working on in line, so that was cool! It was funny seeing so many people there who I've been watching for 10+ years.

I did not get too much from the vendors. I recognized @darobrobber from Twitter, who was running a booth. I preordered a case for my Switch. I also bought a vintage Jigglypuff plushie to go with my mini Wigglytuff I got last year. In addition, I got a lil Kirby plush and a strawberry Katamari pillow.

Additionally, I got signatures from as many people I saw and placed them on these neat index cards. I plan on sticking them to a post board in my room. I hope to continue this trend for years to come!

I think the highlights of the event where the two meetups, the official one as well as the mini one that was held elsewhere. It was nice getting to know you guys on some level. The Crush 40 concert was a bit congested admittedly. I went outside and met new people there, too. It was still a highlight regardless of me just sitting outside. Also, playing @Bill and @Spinalpalm's (and I believe at least one other person I did not get the name(s) of, I apologize) game demo was probably the best part! Bill and Chris are really awesome guys, and their game was extremely fun to play. Expect fanart in the near future, I started on it while Rozebud played on Sunday.

Overall it was a fun experience. I had fun chatting with everyone I saw, and I hope it was nice meeting me and Rozebud too, for those who did. I look forward to becoming more involved in the community, when I can. I've always wanted to be a part of this community of creatives, people who make cool things invoking all kinds of emotions, passionate about the arts and expression. I just wasn't sure if I would fit in until recently. I believe I do :)
