Ch. 2 Pg. 49-50

Well.. damn it. I was literally 3/4 done with this post when it decided that it didn't want to still work while on the plane. Mind you I'd been typing and posting pictures the entire hour before this happened. I was annoyed but also knew I would not have the energy or time for another day or so. That said here I am.. three days after but this was including Sunday and Monday so I'm only behind two posts hahaha.

Anyway... Mad Monster Party! Charlotte, NC.... Sunday 02/18/24. 

My first Horror Convention! I've wanted to go to one forever! Rob made empty suggestions and Matt just obviously didn't care and well... Now I'm not waiting on men. Marci has gone every year since moving and I flew out this year and we did an us thing! 

Now... I absolutely did not sleep well. My leg absolutely was angry and kept me up all nice. From sciatic to my toes. I also was on an awesome air mattress only I forgot just how cold that air gets and it took me some work to get warm lol. I absolutely figured it out Sunday night and slept great lol. But back to Sunday lol. 

I knew I could get ready timely so I set my alarm for 9 hoping I'd sleep but obviously I didn't and when Marci pushed the door open quietly I heard her go to leave and said... So t in awake haha. She had coffee and I realized I could make some.. a delicious bug cup of Cinnamon Roll Coffee and Cinnamon Dolce creamer. It was delicious lol. 

We talked and drank coffee while she did her makeup. 

I showered and set out to get ready. I showered and put in the initial outfit that Marlo said made my ass pop lol but I'd taken my sweatshirt because I assumed I would need it because I wouldn't feel comfortable. 

The sweatshirt was super cute but.. it was too much and I felt very comfortable without it.. so.. I only wore it outside, once I side it came off! 

i felt so fuckin cute and I didn't tug at myself. That's always what I have to think about because I always have. When I question something Alicia will ask me if I am gonna pull at it and feel off. I put this in and just felt great. I often wonder if it's because I'm somewhere else. When I'm in Charlotte with Marci there isn't anyone I know, no one to explain anything too, to justify myself, I just exist there and it's so nice. 

That said... I also actually wore a little makeup too. Eyeliner and borrowed her lipstick and... Damn again I like it. 

i really fucking like it. Instead of posting a ton like before I am going to pick my high lights.. Tim Cappello..

He was awesome to just watch! I did not plan correctly and didn't carry cash so autographs were not an option but I would absolutely have gotten his! So friendly and super nice!

He genuinely enjoyed his fans and gave off the absolute best vibe. I get the opportunity again I will absolutely autograph and photo with him! Both Jason Patrick

and Kiefer Sutherland were there as well, Kiefer was in a private room though so I didn't see him. I also saw Lou Diamond Phillips and man... He looks amazing! I'd absolutely get his autograph next time too. 

There was a great Killer Klowns from Outer Space costume, made by a 17 yr old girl all on her own! Truly an awesome costume! 

There was one other costume I found amazing and may actually be my favorite.

She's just... Beautiful. I loved people watching and I absolutely allowed myself to spend. I found some great Rocky ad Poltergeist Pieces, in going to frame them and find a location for them. 

They're fucking awesome! 

I had the best time with Marci.. she's just so fucking wonderful and fucking beautiful.

heres some cool shit I saw....

This Stephen King Horrible Kids Card kills me!! 

We are gorgeous!

I mean.....

We are.. 

We did find Michael and Freddy!

it was just the coolest thing. Our favorite booth was a Slut booth. Snuggle Slut, Slut Life, Monster Slut.. etc. they were the coolest three women's and cute AF! I had to leave with something and this Orange Dress just kept calling me! 

seriously though .. I still can't believe how comfortable I was and confident and.. it was such a great and I selfied with Nosferatu.

i really fuckin liked myself Sunday...

Really fuckin did....

They took me for shakes at Nineties Ice Cream shopping... Or something like that. I had a grub Drumstick Shake!

... Pausing cause my phone is almost dead and being a jerk lol

It's stupid hard with time right now and I was determined to cover every day!! 

I crashed super relaxed Sun night. Marci had this great massager that I used on my sciatic and I folded my blankets just right and man I got a solid 6 hrs of decent sleep! I smoked with her husband and we all just peacefully existed. It was quiet and calm and I was so relaxed. By 10 we were all asleep lol

I set my alarm and was ready by 6:45. I was at the airport by 7 and off I went. I was early enough to get a breakfast Sammy and latte as I like it. 

then I was about 15 min from boarding my first flight, I went pee and got back to my gate. I then thought it was off there was not announcement about boarding and noticed it said Wilmington not Lexington... I look at my boarding pass and I came to and chilled at gate 19 not 29... annoyed I hussled my ass to the correct gate. 

Boarding was basic and I had an aisle seat on a small plane. I guess I was tired cause I kinda slept to the next airport. 

I made it to O'Hare and to my car. I had to go get my kitty cause I left her at the. Airport and then to my cousins. She was upset I didn't stay with them but had a room and I understand that but man I was exhausted. Ultimately I glad I went. I got a ticket to a concert I really wanted to see and they're going too. We had a good hour visit and I really am glad I went. 

I set out to home and it was a long drive.. but it wasn't horrible. I got home at like 7:30. So it was like 4 hrs. I made it though and it was a great wknd!
