The mood was still up, but you could tell some people were starting to get a little down that the marathon was so close to ending. A lot of people would be heading home after the last part of the marathon, leaving about five hours between the time the marathon finished and checkout Sunday morning. The parking lot thinned out quite a bit by Sunday afternoon.
On a lighter note though, I managed to catch the entire FF6 run, aside from a few minutes where I stepped out for a bathroom break. MisterMV has the singing voice of an angel. Essentia has the singing voice of a fallen angel, though I credit that more to the filter put over her voice.
Meanwhile, the bonus stream would get going later in the day Sunday with the most official of organization methods; paper and pen. Bonus stream is a lot more laid back, so there's not a ton of pressure involved. I volunteered a couple of games which might make it on at some point, though I'm trying to defer to anyone who signed up before me.
Until I get back, this will be the final entry in this series of blogs. I had a great time at this year's SGDQ and hope that I can make it to future marathons as a runner, volunteer or otherwise. I'm also not looking forward to the drive back because seriously, Kansas is terrible. Thanks again to the folks at SpeedDemosArchive for organizing the event and letting me run a game during the marathon (with a donation incentive no less) and to LazerLong for letting me sit in on MadWorld. Also thanks to |3ass|3oost for splitting a room for the duration of the marathon and then some.
And before I go, congratulations to JKB for winning that Mario Sunshine race. Ohio was represented well this marathon. Now to get back to putting together the next Five Dollar Gaming...
