Calithon 2019

I love the speedrunning community. Calithon is a local charity speedrunning marathon that feels like a “hang” with friends. The event ran from March 14 - 18, 2019 at Direct Relief’s headquarters in Santa Barbara, California - a mere five minute drive to the beach :) Numerous friendly faces helped raise more than $27,000 for Direct Relief!

I volunteered during the marathon by hosting The World Ends With You ran by ProtoMagicalGirl and Witchs_Hex.

I “couched” for WinnerBit’s Looney Tunes run. So much fun!

Incredibly thankful that my best fired Matt and brother Sean joined me for commentary during my run. We had some free time by the beach.

Loved watching SkyBilz and authorblues co-op run The Adventures of Cookie and Cream .

Around 4:00 AM after vanni_van (pictured left) destroyed Neutopia. Thank you, friends, for commentating my Bonk’s Revenge run!

Santa Barbara may be the perfect place for a speedrunning event.
