Pico Day Pics!

Posted by EKublai - April 30th, 2015


I didn't know what to expect when @Krissalus and I rolled up on the NG offices on Pico Day. I certainly didn't expect the smoke of 100 cigars nearly suffocating us. And though the oxygen levels eventually normalized, my mind remained fuzzy and giddy the entire day.

I did not take nearly enough photos to speak to how excited and happy I was to be there. I suspect I forgot pictures because of that reason. I do know that I completely froze at seeing NG superstars and was psyched out of getting a ton of signatures for the copy of the Newgrounds Writing Antholoy I had with me. Oh well. I'll bring it another time to get more.

If I miss tags, please let me know!

From left to right (read like a book baby!): @muteyoh, @jonnyethco, @TomFulp, @thundaboom, @the-swain, @mindchamber, @kumori, @Tyler, Chris Fernandez (best sig), Ryan Stein, @phantomarcade3000, @puffballsunited, @redminus, @wade, Bill (he wrote his Chinese name over his American one), @vicariouse

Again, sad I didn't get more.

The pics are even sadder.

His kids are so cute! Do they have NG accounts I can tag?

695600_143044704053_n.jpgI almost left without getting this one: but I kicked myself at the last second and am so glad I did.

695600_143044704062_n.jpgA surreal moment came when I SPIED WIT MAH LIL EYE THE BUCKING FOOK ON THE SHELF! (next to the Mershaq shorts)

These should be my acquaintances . Instead, they are just dust in the wind.

695600_143044703833_n.jpg

I recognize @Goryblizzard, and no one else.

Hey look! The Seat of POOOOOOOWER.

695600_143044703781_n.jpg

ANOTHER SEAT OF POWER! Right next to the other one!

695600_143044703723_n.jpg

The right half of that SAME SEAT! AMAZING!

A collage of cool chalk drawings. My contribution is the little infant creature to the left of the Strawberryclock. Meh.

695600_143044703572_n.jpgSome more art and what I think is a reference to OneRingtoRuleThemAll ?

 

 

And that's it. See how antisocial I was!? :(

I apologize for not introducing myself to @JohnnyUtah, @Oney, @deathink, @stamper, @malachy, among others.

Tags I might have missed: @NATA, @vidgamedude (who, by the way, was freaking everywhere)

In that second one, I was holding Grub's cigar in my right hand and mine on the left alongside my water bottle. We were just talking about various things and helping people have their cigars burn evenly. In that little circle with me was @Evark in the red shirt and @ZJ with the gray hoodie. I also instantly see @Zachary, @Ryan, @Shikamarana, @Jay, @Grub-Xer0, @EJR, @SymbolCymbal, @Ryan off the top of my head. That's not everyone, but most of them.

These are all good pics. I left most of the photography and video documenting to everyone else with the exception of 2 chalkboard pics and one of me in the championship belt.

Ha thanks alot!

Tagged Ryan twice by accident. Whatevs. I expect to be back next year and perhaps for longer if nothing gets in my way.

Yeah, I never actually came up to talk to you or get your signature. Next time.

I didn't wanna shoot shit, but no one else was, so I did Saturday night after things got sloppy and cleared out a lot :\ Your pics are good, basically how I shot my first Pico day 3 years ago, only with a better camera.

Glad you have a shot of yourself next to the man. I'm always so nervous and concerned about the site, I never seem to be effective, either as a guest or a concerned member, while conversing with Tom :(

Well, in conversing with me, you were certainly effective. Before today, I only had the 2012 supporter badge :D you deserve credit for that change.

A couple people came up to me and said you were looking for me, but I think you had already left by the time I got there.

mmmmmmmmm I only realized who you were from a pic Tom posted after Saturday. I thought you were someone else. Gah!

nice meeting you dude!

Great pics! I love seeing pictures roll in. Every year I intend to take a lot more pictures but just end up getting lost in the moment. Thanks for coming to Pico Day and thanks for sharing your pics!

Much thanks. Big Fan. Yes.
