Finally getting to my recap for Pico Day, it was AWESOME! I loved seeing everyone there, saying hi to friends I haven't seen in a while and meeting more Newgrounders!

My Pico Day adventure started when @CheddarExuberant picked me up on the way, the day before the meet! It was awesome getting to be with them for the ride and the hotel room as well as the meet!

Shout-out to the Bad Drivers Ahead sign upon entering New Jersey, they weren't kidding!

It all felt so real once we got to the, rather shady, hotel we were staying at! I turned on my laptop in the room as we watched the Pico Day chat fly by as people arrived or talked about arriving.

Later on, I saw @FloppyFins asking around for things to do in the chat and invited him over to our room. It was really fun hanging out and we watched a neat Madness fan animation together, Project: Felony!

Eventually it became Friday, the day of the meet! The excitement was high, we left for the meet around 12:00! We met @Teethtesty in a parking garage while we searched for parking for the meet! First person we saw at the meet, you were really cool Cato!

Eventually we decided to park by a bit of houses near the Williams Center, I promptly suited up in my Dane suit named Steel in Cheddars car while some residents were outside. I'd eventually get out of the car, waving as the residents waved back in surprise and we made our way towards the meet.

Eventually we saw a group of Newgrounders and said hi to everyone! We'd join their group and venture forth to the Williams Center together. There were already other Newgrounds folks when we got to the Williams Center! I got to say hi to @Droid @Jonas and @stupidvampire ! 

I got to give @Dungeonation a brief hug at this point, it was awesome! The meet was off to a start as I began to see even more people, including @Tamag0 and @BrandyBuizel

Soon, we were let into the venue to get our wristbands! I got to see people like @blakenator9872 again! Loved the outfit again, absolutely rocked the propeller hat and huge lollipop haha.

I got to say hello to @RavioliBox again around at this point too! She suggested that everyone does pushups before the meet in the Discord server jokingly! Of course, some brave Newgrounders had to follow through!

I got to meet @Smuggeryarugerry as he did a few push ups outside of the main space before it opened and we cheered him on! Very nice words and hilarious you carried through! 

Got to see @armadill0h again as well who gave me a 3d printed and painted Steve figurine! I absolutely love it so much, thank you again!

About right before the bigger part of the meet space opened, @CheddarExuberant and I got to give @Dungeonation a box of gifts from us! This included a Build a Bear of his sona from us which got to sit at his table with the Randy Learns History demo nearby the TV. We were excited to give it to him!

After talking to a bit of people, I hear people counting and chanting including @CheddarExuberant. I go to the crowd and look over, @Smuggeryarugerry is right back at the push ups alongside a Darnell cosplayer who decided to participate! A few other attendees jumped in to do push-ups as well, one's record being around sixty!  

I eventually circle back to @Dungeonation 's table and we just come across each other a lot throughout the meet! I sit down and play the Randy demo for a bit, enjoying it even if I am part of the team myself! The Randy team received nice pins from @Lolofyr! I loved mines and it was great meeting you in person! I wore my pin on my suits bandana!

I got to meet @TheDyingSun this meet too! Always neat meeting others with similar interests and it was nice talking! 

It was so cool meeting @CorpseCarter as well! You should check out Carter's artwork!

It was fun going around, chatting with people, and handing out stickers! @SrPelo was awesome too and we got to get pics together! 

Next, I saw @SpinalPalm 's demo table for Poop Game, I played it with my suit mostly on! Just the paws off, didn't do too badly and I had a lot of fun!

I got a pin from @Mindchamber beforehand and we ran into each other again! He had his helmet this time which is really cool and got to talk about fans and cooling methods when in suit briefly!  

I got to meet @ChicaHugs as well who had an awesome outfit and was so nice! It was awesome getting to talk to you!

Around this time, @GirZiggler gave me a CD of his EP! It's so cool, I love it and have it out in my room to show! 

Eventually it became time for the theatre screening! I decided to sit with Dungeon for the screening at his table, we had a great view! Soon, he got hungry and we went to a neat little Greek place nearby! I waved to random people in my suit and cooled off in the wind a little as he ate outside! 

Oh yeah, a few kids somehow got in the venue too! Really wanted to see the dog apparently haha, in their words! They were kind though and gave me a sticker. It seemed there were normies hanging out right outside the venue.

We walked back to the venue after he was done eating and got settled back in. The animation Front Page Feels came on, I really liked the art style! We both did and commented about it!

A few other animations that stuck out to me included Keeper of The Celestial Flame of Abernethy and Luckyboy.

After the theatre screening, Tom Fulp gave a nice speech. Loved it!

Soon, I met @BallisitcBanana and her friend. It was nice meeting you both and getting to chat! 

A lot of the Randy team and friends of the Randy team began to chill by the table. It became a nice relaxing little place! 

Eventually it became time for us to leave as the meet came to a close. I said a goodbye to @Dungeonation and others on the way out, the day had went so fast. Already couldn't wait for the next Newgrounds meet!

But wait, there was more! 

THE LAST SUPPER 

A group of Newgrounders all went to iHop after the meet. It was a fun time and our end of the table got a nice lesson on Skibidi Toilet lore from @SrPelo ! I got the breakfast sampler myself and of course... I wore at least the suit head in!

I got to meet @Chourios and @Pippykins who were at our ends of the table as well! You were both cool as well! 

Later around 2:00 AM we met up at our hotel with @Swferino who was going to stay with us Friday night, technically Saturday then. It was a chill night although we all were tuckered out! We got to talk a lot in the morning at least and they also got to try on my suit head of Edgar!

Overall, such a good experience and I thank EVERYONE for making it what it was! Even if we didn't talk, this event wouldn't be the same without you! 

Thank you @coby, @Tamag0, and @BrandyBuizel for helping to run and coordinate the event. Extra thanks to @coby for getting the trading card idea going and printing them! 

Thanks @Lolofyr for the idea of the trading cards! Thanks @MrShmoods for the bootleg trading cards and helping the event too! 

Thanks @TomFulp, @MisMash, @NickSenny, @septicsebi, @Kiyo, @IvanAlmighty, @Squidly, @SirLenward, @RavioliBox, @mootthenoot, @Droid, @Lolofyr, @Dungeonation, @Bill, and @Krinkels for helping to set up this event! Got the list from the Discord server and even if I didn't talk to you, I still appreciate you!

Thank you @CheddarExuberant for taking me with you, it was a fun time!

Thanks for reading to this point, until next time! :)
