Vic Mignogna <[email protected]>
Okay, so contrary to what Discord may claim, I've actually been a Ranger since at least 2013-- probably longer, actually. We'll say 2012. So I'd been watching Vic Mignogna's con list for a while as a wee middle schooler, waiting for him to come to a con near me (Youmacon was out because there was no way we were going to try to navigate Detroit if we didn't have to). So finally, I saw that he was going to be at 2013 Con+Alt+Delete in Illinois.
Having been blessed with a family that is at least tolerant of anime, I was allowed to go for my birthday.
So! Friend (and at the time, fellow ranger) in tow, we skipped a day of school to drive down to Illinois. I got to go to both of Vic's panels that weekend, of course-- but the most notable one was his smaller Friday one, and I got my question answered (I, in all my Freshman high school wisdom, asked him if he'd ever had a hamster home; it was the last question).
I also got autographs (his concert DVD, something I drew, the final volume of FMA), a picture, and another hug.
Gotta say, it was an absolute dream come true (and possibly the best birthday ever). He's an absolute sweetheart.
