I got back from QuakeCon last night at 1AM instead of the scheduled 9:30PM. Fucking United Airlines. The event was so much fun it hurt. I called into work sick today and slept most of the day trying to recover. It was fantastic to attend a PC pro event and meet a lot of the pro gamers I knew only online or by reputation. It makes me feel a little bit like a celebrity whore to hang out with them. Then I remember that I'm at the same level in the console world, and I feel better. 
I lack the drive to train myself up to a professional level, but I like the energy of the events anyway. I'm tempted to leverage my writing skills to start doing some journalism/reporting on professional events. One of my friends just launched a Pro Gamer magazine. Maybe I can convince him to let me be an editor with my awe-inspiring ability to string multiple words together.
