The All-Great American Vacation
A great Time was had by all, well except everyone who wasn't there. All I can say at this point is: Too Bad you weren't me. Having the chance to be in Los Angles partying with over 40 celebrities in one day, How about checking into a Hotel, only having Tom Savini start up a conversation with you about how Horror Movies rock, what about getting over 8 sexy men fawning over you and who would do anything to- do anything to you, what about meeting a cute stranger in Reno only having him help you win big on the Black Jack table, finding out he works with the dead and start up the loudest and most attention filled table in the whole Casino, Getting stuck in the snow only wearing shorts and a bikini top, or spending 2 nights with the two greatest, funniest and loveable guys ever? How about scoring tons of great freebies, Seeing never seen before -behind the scene Subspecies photos from Denice Duff herself, or Going on the best theme park ride, or even surviving ghetto streets at night, or laughing at the most entertaining musical ever, making great new friends, eating the best food, partying hard with familiar and amazing characters, and still managing to come home with money left over for another trip.

The Best-Bought Item
Besides getting extremely cheap Blu-rays, (I'm talking about get 3 for the price of One in Australia), Great food, morbid artwork from the Conventions 'Art Ghoulery', and many presents.
I'm talking about the most realistic and professional Belial I have ever seen in my life. I am a Massive "Basket Case" fan, I even would name my first born son Belial, (If my future love husband would, allow it). But for a low, low convention price only of $10, I had myself a Little Basket Brother. I even got free wristbands that I wear everyday. It doesn't come painted, but there is an optional string edition which got, hell I grabbed two for that price, so you can have in in your car, office, bed room door etc. I just love my little rubber basket brother. Bill Hunt is an absolute genius!, He even got the legal ok for the sculpting design, so you know you are getting accuracy. The entire trip we called ours "Fleshwad", and made sure he was in everything we did, It was even comical to see him in the airport scanner the funny shaped object in that bag. You all know that I wouldn't promote anything that wasn't good, and this is just incredible, If I Marty Mcflyed and gave this to my Child self- I would be crying of excitement for months. If only a life size version would be made,*sigh. I will have to get to a craft-store and get a little basket for my little basket brother soon. Seriously when the opportunity is up, get one! It will bring you much joy:)

-----------------------------------------------------------------Sadly, Worst Parts of the Trip:
Jetstar Airways:
This is the worst airline to give us only 5 minutes to travel from one side to the other, with a "no running rule", and not knowing where to go only to have the worst customer service. "Excuse me sir, but I'm not too sure where to go - could you please Help me?" Should not be answered with "Don't you know how to read, why don't you walk away and learn how to. See that screen over there - what does it say?". Total pack of cunts., seriously then making me wait in line to ask one question and they then decide to have a conversation about jackets "Oh , Julie! Your putting on your jacket", - Really! no complementary anything, and this is on an 11 hour flight, so you might as well starve, and if you want to purchase a $3 headset you can only watch a shitty Justin Bieber movie from a shitty blurry screen with all the red faded out. Let's
Not Fly Jetstar!
American Airports:
Not only is the security over the top and outrageous (How many terrorists are MacGyver?), The long lines and getting stuck for over 3 hours for over 17 hour flight really wont go well with anybody. On top of all that bullshit you have to encounter the meanest cunts of them all. There must be a prerequisite of being a cunt on your resume' to work there. If you ask a question, you MUST explain why you asked it, and then get picked on for it. And for the last time, I hate being called Ma'am if they are going to humiliate and patronize me. "Yes, Ma'am please step aside" and push physically push me out of the way like Hulk Hogan, and "Don't you know anything, this is not Australia Ma'am , Stop making things complicated for the world Ma'am- please learn how to read ok Ma'am". The only person who was nice and helpful was a lovely Black Woman named Pam who was standing around- I took a shot in the dark and asked here where to go, she was very helpful and gave me instructions, then let me cut in a 40 minute line so I wouldn't have to go through it again. - She rocks! but everyone else can go and suck a dirty curry cock, I won't even consider the airports part of the country because they do NOT represent a country- just the shitty travel you have to endure, and put up with anything they dish out to you because you know that you need to travel and will pay anything for it.
Travel Agent:
The travel agent for this year really fucked me over, I honestly can say there was only 3 nights where I could sleep like a baby. I had to share a single bed with my brother in every hotel except for the one I organized and the room was so small not even a single mattress could fit in the door, let alone the floor to sleep on. They overcharged me on extras I never asked for, and The Shitty travel agent placed my L.A hotel booking in the wrong area so I was stuck in the Ghetto for a few days/nights and walking around at 11pm looking for something to eat wearing nothing but hot-shorts and a midriff top really made me feel uncomfortable. There was even a wired guy who would stand in the window wearing only a towel and stare at out room until I had to walk out for anything, then he would hide behind his curtains- whistles were not spared. She told me wrong weather conditions so I was never packed for a day, stuck in the snow with a bikini. and stuck with it raining in Hawaii for days.
Still, with all of that shit, America still reigns supreme in my heart, and with the best Friends anyone could ever ask for, Happy memories, amazing experiences and incredible hospitality it was all worth it, Hell I would go through a 100hour flight with twice as much bullshit just to hang out with the Boone Brothers again.

Random pic of the Trip
The Asian Sauce Finger Couple
There were heaps for the trip, but this was the winner. This couple were just plain weird. They both decided to eat a McDonalds Burger, but they would eat one layer at a time, Taking parts of each layer and slowing sucking on pieces as if it was their last meal and they would take an hour to eat just one burger, eating the patty by itself, ending with ripping off parts of the bottom bun and dipping it in sauce and it was just a discussing mess, old Asian sauce fingers smacking closer than ever before. I couldn't help but notice her shirt read "
Te Joy of the Heart Skes the Face Fair", I had no idea what was happening at this point, so I got up and grabbed a shot of them anyway, (Little did I know that angry woman in the background either till now) The most random thing next to the hobo attack!
