look people I know this is incredibly late but you all wanted to see it so HERE IT IS

 

- 55555 trying in vain to adjust the pose of one of my MOCs

- 55555 breaking aforementioned MOC

- Velox smirking in the background and doing nothing to stop the MOC carnage

- Me nearly breaking Brickeens' Jungle Mecha

- Brickeens and I went around the entire con talking to people and making ridiculously stupid puns

- Brickeens in general

- Thylon and me rummaging through vendor parts for one and a half hours (I still believe firmly that he got a better haul than me)

- Brickeens coming over three times asking if we were done

- Prototype White-MetruBlue-swirled Miru!

- I named it Paul

- Because Brickeens named his Carl

- Sisen and Disky launching a zamor out of a catapult at me (I caught it on about the sixteenth hop after flailing about for a while in vain attempts to catch it)

- Zatth's amazing and highly popular LEGO Plushie

- Me scrubbing my head with said plushie and saying "PLUSHIE PLUSHIE PLUSHIE"

- Thylon printing out a sign that said "PLUSHIE PLUSHIE PLUSHIE" to put in front of aforementioned plushie

- Nukaya, Zatth's mom, Brickeens' dad, and my dad got called for door prizes (I didn't notice the latter for some bizarre reason)

- Building a (failed) brick bridge between two tables in the back (with Xaeraz providing commentary. Thylon seemed especially annoyed at that.)

- Wearing three hats simultaneously (courtesy of Zatth-Xaeraz industries)

- Seeing Brickeens wear three hats simultaneously

- Wearing huge sunglasses à la my comic character/avatar

- I met another member from North Carolina who was attending during the public hours, but for the life of me can't remember who it was. If you see this, could you comment/PM me? I really hate not remembering.

- Zatth asking "how is babby formed" to a group of staff members

- Seeing ChocolateFrogs get confused at that

- Black Six singing into my LEGO microphone replica

- Thylon, Zatth, Brickeens, and me singing happy birthday to Black Six

- It was a brilliant idea

- It may or may not have been a factor in my promotion to Forum Mentor

- Accidentally knocking over part of the BZP mosaic

- Sticking my head into a videocall that basically everyone was having with Turakii

- Sleeping for twelve straight hours in one night

- Brickeens' dad on my 2001 Monolith MOC: "It's a fantastic use of color, really."

- Failing at LEGO bingo

- Eating at a nearby Mexican restaurant that took forever to take and make our orders

- They ended up getting my order completely wrong

 

After BrickFair, my family, Brickeens, and his dad got into our car and we saw the sights of Washington, D.C. Highlights of this adventure included

 

- Horrible puns from me

- Horrible puns from Brickeens' dad

- He is better than I am with bad puns

- Laughing heartily at bad puns from pretty much everybody

- Getting confused as to the larger than normal police force around the White House

- I have evidence President Obama is stalking Brickeens

- (not really)

- Getting stuck in traffic

- Making even more terrible puns

- An inside joke regarding a very deep voice and the country of The Gambia

- Seeing basically all of the open monuments and memorials until 11:15 at night

- Brickeens on Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address: "What's he on about?"

- Getting stuck in traffic again

 

The day after, we toured the Air and Space museum, where we encountered nearly the entire BZP staff again. Somewhat less hilarity ensued.

These have no highlights.

 

You never mentioned my antics.

 

Also Zatth asked everybody that question, including me. I had no idea who he was, and neither did the people with me, so we just looked at him and then at ourselves. Later, when it was explained, we thought it was... amusing.

Oh boy do I wish I could go.

If only.

I thought that too at first, but after reading this I realized that not going would probably be better for my sanity.

Hey, running into us at the Air and Space Museum was way awesome. And you know it.

Awesome, yes ... but I only specified that somewhat less hilarity ensued.
