I went to BlizzCon 2009 last weekend and from having gone the year before I had a rough idea of what to expect when I got there. Little did I know this year would be THAT much better ...

August 20, 2009 - Thursday

Now that I got all the good pictures out there, the day started off with me leaving my house at 6:00 AM to get to the Calgary airport. Even though I didn't get any sleep (stayed up all night playing SC) I was still wide awake and ready to go. I got to LAX around 10:15 and met up with Psyonic and Kenny and we shuttled our way to the hotel. It took us like 2 hours because some idiot brought only a credit card and when he tried to pay and it didn't work we had to circle around for like 30 minutes looking for an ATM machine ... what a waste of time. Which reminds me of one thing I always do. CARRY CASH.

We got to the Marriot around noon and then unpacked and went to meet up with ret and Artosis. On our way there we met up with DeJaVu, Ham, and Phrank and went up to the 5th floor of the Hilton. Small talk and blah blah blah, but when Artosis had to go, we all left and went to go get some food. As we got to the 1st floor it was all normal and everyone was making small talk, then we saw the CJ Entus team. I mean, I thought it was normal for me since I met them and got to know sAviOr last year so I just talked in my terrible accented Korean, I'm sure it was normal for Psyonic too, but for the other guys ... they were in awe and amazement. I'm pretty sure none of them could even say anything ... I don't think they did actually but yeah that was the only eventful thing during that whole day.

This is us eating at some fast food place that we don't have in Canada.

Oh yeah and we picked up our goody bags somewhere in between there, but the goody bags sucked ass so no point in going into detail about it. I got a Press Badge when I picked up my goody bag so I didn't have to wait in line like the other suckers kekeke

* I'll add the 21st and 22nd with pictures once I get more time. For those of you who would like to check out the pictures I took it's at http://s1001.photobucket.com/albums/af132/edwinjung/ I'm a shitty picture taker so some of them may be blurry*

I got to do some magic for Effort was the only Progamer I was able to grow a pair and do some magic for before they left. Of course It helped me not that they were constantly surrounded by addoring fans getting pics/signitures from the nice mens.

I never noticed that I did that until I saw the video and then I was like "FUCK ME ... this is embarrassing" so now I'm working on fixing it so I don't have a weird ass accent.

yeah, I've noticed that when you record yourself (general you), it sounds way different than you think you sound in real life. It's also kinda strange to hear your own voice in the telephone if it echoes or something. it's not that embarrassing, it wasn't that easy to hear anyway. I'm probably worse ^^

Also, how tall are you? zero looks tiny and skyhigh looks huge.

nice pics! I've gotta get up the ones that I have on you.

Skyhigh is about 6' tall, zero is shorter than me (probably something like 5'4" if i had to guess).

Every time Effort smiles, a puppy dies.

Thank you for your translation work, kOre. Also, that CJ shirt really suits you.
