Nerd Convention

Being the nerd that I am, last night, I went to RadCon! For those of you who don't know what RadCon is, it's basically where a bunch of video game, anime, and movie nerds put on homemade costumes from a show or video game they like and come together (that's why the title of this post is "nerd convention") :). Since I like the game The Legend of Zelda, I made a Princess Zelda costume (I don't think all of you know who Zelda is but that's okay XD). My brother was with me as a sith from the Old Republic. When we got to RadCon, which was in Red Lion Hotel, we had to wait in line for a loooong time until we finally got our registrations. Once we got them, we ate at a delicious restaurant! And as we were walking around the hotel, people would ask for my picture! It was a really nice feeling. Later on, we found a piano in the hotel for anyone to play. So, I sat down to start playing songs from the game my costume was from. Slowly but surely, small crowds of people would come and listen! It was such a magical experience, because people dressed as another character from my game (Link) would come talk to me, some would have song requests, but most just listened. Just when I was about to leave, a sweet old man in a wheel chair came up to me, hands shaking uncontrollably. Very quietly he said "Would you mind playing a little more for me?" I sat back down on the bench and started playing most of the songs I knew. Then I started playing the song Glorious, and his hands stopped shaking nearly as much. It was such a wonderful experience!
