Sorry for leaving
the front page looking a bit stagnant for the
past few months. I think a bit of post-con laziness
set in for a while. That and fatigue from working
and what not. But now that I have plenty to talk
about (lateness on my thoughts on this years
Anime Boston, not withstanding), lets do this!
^___^
Well first is Anime
Boston. You may have heard about incidents
like long lines for registration and what not.
Neato and I pre-regged, while my friend Ellie and Jon waited in the registration line. It took
us about 1 1/2 hours until we finally reached
the registration table. Afterwards, we waited
for 4 additional hours for our friends to get
to the table. NOT FUN AT ALL! And I'm late to
the party with this, but people were waiting
for 9+. That just shouldn't happen. All we can
do is hope that they learn from this and next
year will go a lot more smoother. But all in
all, we had a great time. Especially at the artist
alley. Though we didn't have a table this year,
we did meet some other awesome artists. Ones
we traded cards with included: Finni, Zoë R., Brenton
Barnes, David
Montoya, Laurie
L. Thomas, Kevin
Yan & Jinny
Liang, Mattherms,
and Daphne
Lage & JD
Calderon. Other cool peeps included Dave
Lister & Hikaroo, Mookie, Rusty Haller, Robert & Emily
DeJesus, and our friends @ Angry
Viking Press.
A bit of convention
updates, not only will we have a table at Connecticon,
which we'll be sharing the stage with the Angry
Viking Press crew, which is quite rare (the only
time we did share a table was with our friend
Ellie). So this means that they are a good group
of guys (and gals) that make some
sweet comics! So check them out too when you
see us!
And after talking
about this for 2 years, we're planning to be at Anime
Weekend Atlanta (still
waiting for confirmation). I signed up immediately
as soon as registration went online too, so there's
no reason why we can't get a table! Sadly, this
wasn't the case with Otakon.
Being at work, I found it hard to monitor the
site and by the time I was able to check it out,
they sold out immediately, which is quite unexpected.
Usually Otakon's Alley has registration for a
week or so before it's filled. Still seeing about
going anyway, since this one looks like one not
to miss!
Lastly, I know
I said the store would be up at the end of the
month (which would have been the end of February).
Obviously that didn't happen. The official reason
is that we're waiting for a certain character
to be introduced first, since it's named after
said character. Silly I know, but the wait is
almost over! I promise! ^__^;;
