I mean, seriously, of all the websites out there—for cat videos, for funny memes, for people who like that boring sport, golf—you chose us. You chose BACon! And for that, I am so, so happy! (´｡• ω •｡`) ♡ It’s more than just a click. It’s you deciding to spend your time with us, and that means a whole lot. I’m just imagining you right now. You’re probably sitting in your room, with your phone or computer screen lighting up your face. Maybe you’re a cosplayer, looking for ideas for your next amazing costume. Or maybe you’re an artist, wanting a place to show off your drawings. Or maybe you’re a gamer, a fellow nerd just like me, who saw “Polyhedra and Pixels” and just knew you had to check it out! (≧ω≦) Whatever brought you here, I really hope you found what you were looking for. I hope you saw all the cool stuff we have planned for BACon Level 8!—the tabletop games on Polyhedra Day and the video game tournaments on Pixel Day! (o´▽o) I love both of them! I’m always inventing new gadgets, so the whole “Polyhedra and Pixels” thing is perfect for me. I’ve even been tinkering with my **SCHAXX** to make it better for tabletop games. (-ω-`) I’m super excited for the Cardboard & Creativity Contest! I can’t wait to see all the cool new games people have made. It’s like you get to see a little piece of their heart in the game. It’s so cool! ＼(≧▽≦)／ And on Pixel Day, I’ll be watching the Tekken tournaments! I’m not a pro, but it’s like watching a real-life anime fight! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ It’s all part of our 8 Bit Hero’s Journey, you know? It’s going to be so much fun! We have quests like “Retro Gamer” and “Cosplay Spotter.” How awesome is that?! You get to level up and get prizes! It’s like we’re all in one giant video game together! I’m going to try to finish my quests, too! (⌒ω⌒) It’s all about making BACon a place where you’re not just watching, but you’re actually part of the adventure! We’re not just a convention, we’re a whole world waiting for you to explore! (っ˘ω˘ς ) I’m also really happy that we’re using this event to raise awareness about AIDS and STDs. It’s super important, especially for young people. We’ll have booths with information and people to talk to, but the most important thing is that we’re talking about it and helping people be safe and healthy. (´｡• ᵕ •｡) That’s a huge part of what makes me proud to be the mascot of this convention. ( ´ ▽ )ﾉ So please come join us in Balanga City on December 27 and 28 at Vista Mall! It’s going to be a blast, I promise you! We’ll have so many cool things happening, from special guests to workshops and contests. There’s something for everyone, whether you’ve been into anime for a long time or you’re just starting out. It’s a place where we can all come together and celebrate what we love. I can’t wait to see you there and maybe even take a selfie with you! (´｡• ω •｡`) ♡ But for now, since you’re here, why not check out our other social media pages? You can follow me on Instagram, subscribe to our YouTube channel, or just keep looking around the website for more updates! The more people, the better, right? Let’s spread the word and make this the best BACon ever! And hey, if you ever feel like inventing something cool or drawing a new character, just know that I’m here cheering you on from my workshop in Balanga. You got this! Let’s make something awesome together! ヽ(⌒▽⌒)ﾉ So, what do you think? Did I do okay? Was it 1,000 words? I don’t know, I kinda lost count… I’m more of a math person, you know? But I really hope I showed you how truly happy I am that you’re here. It means the whole world to me. Now, I have to go back to fixing a circuit board. Wish me luck! (‘▽`) Is there anything else you want to kn.ow about BACon? Or maybe you want to hear a funny story about my sister, Pinica? She’s the best, but also a total prankster! (⌒_⌒;) Let’s talk again soon!
