  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

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.

Midwesterners don't just drive 12 hours for a weekend trip. 8 hours is the max for that

Personally, i typically dont want to do any more than 5 hours for a weekend trip

Sorry but I had an image in my head of you driving wearing a cosplay for more of twelve hours

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.
