    I once drove that long to get to a convention.

    Never. Again.

    Just because you can drive for 12+ hours, doesn’t mean you should. Next time I’m either planning two full days for that sort of driving, or taking a plane.

        I once wore my costume home from an out-of-state larp. It was comfy, but I did get some stares while pumping gas.

        My father once flew me to a private Star Wars con in a small sports plane. Of course I had to wear my Emperor costume for the entire trip. But then again I did get greeted on the airfield with a purple carpet and a limousine blasting Force Commander’s Imperial March remix.

      My last convention was 20 minutes away, I was sooooo happyyyyy. I’m done commuting hours to go to cons. I’m too old.
