It was my 5th time at PAX and I was still nervous. At least Ryan was there to support me, uh, Other Ryan. He walked up next to me and put a hand on my shoulder, "You'll be alright Ry, just smile for the fans and you'll survive." Ah, the comforts of having friends, shockingly. "Thanks man." I said. "It is our honor to introduce 8 bit-Ryan!" Damn you announcements! Calm down Ryan, deep breaths...and here we go. I ran out onto the stage, fans were screaming my name, I knew YouTube might make me somewhat popular, but not this much. The others joined me on the stage, Bazamalam, Dawko, Razzbowski, even Smike. We stood up there, laughed, made jokes, told a little of our backgrounds, it was such a fun night. Sometimes, I wish they'd last longer.
When I returned to the hotel, I was so relieved that I could go home tomorrow. That was all I needed to know. "You look like you've been beat." Rhys told me. Knowing him, I didn't know how to take that, so I just nodded a little. I turned around on my bed to face the wall, I wanted to go home, to see my cat, I miss Max, my house. I guess Max is all I have to go home to, I'm such a lonely person.
I closed my eyes and slowly drifted to sleep.
