RT: Philly [WARNING: PHOTO DUMP]

So Mikey and I hosted RT: Philly this past weekend. I would imagine that most of our readers know what RT: Philly is, but in case you don't: Rooster Teeth is a production company responsible for an online machinima series called Red vs Blue. On the Rooster Teeth website, a very significant community has developed over the years within the site forums. RT: Philly is a gathering of RT users that is intended to showcase user generated content. Basically, it's a conference of creators -- writers, artists, crafters, etc -- where Rooster Teeth is the common denominator, the thing that brought us together in the first place.

The build up to the event seemed to take a long time; there was a ton of planning, but of course it all just breezed by... Part of me wants to recount the events, but there's really just too much to try and cover, too many details. Plus I don't want to be writing this update forever. Suffice it to say this: there were a few hiccups, but all in all it was an awesome weekend, and I'm already excited for next year. Not to gloat, but Mikey and I totally nailed it on Saturday (the main event), and being surrounded by other creative people was great. The Rooster Teeth community is full of talented folks creating unique content; I hope that even more people come out next year to showcase the projects in which they are involved.

Again, I don't want to go on and on. I'm sure that jokes from this weekend will end up becoming posts on here later on, so I will just put up some pictures from the weekend, along with a link to others. [Note: These pictures are from Virginia and our friend Sarah, and I tried to order them chronologically.]
