I realize I didn't post a blog about AX - you know, that thing all the nerds get excited for.
And theres a good reason for it.
I hated it. I've been going to the convention for 6 years and it has never been that bad. And with it in the LA convention center next year, I will not be attending. And possibly never again.
We don't have many pictures from it because it was just too hot to bother.
So here's the Trusty Bell costumes we promised. Just not with us in them.
I'll have to take pictures of the shoes later, because they were awesome.
Jeez, all I seem to do now when I go to a convention is complain. Maybe I'm getting old.
I also seem to have developed a new allergy since then or possibly started then. Now, I can't be out in the heat without having a reaction. I even had to get a rush doctor's appointment for a shot.
Can I write off our AC bill as a medical expense now? ;o
With the first convention out of the way this year, I can't help but think that I'm getting too old for this. That, or the audience is getting younger because the maturity level was dangerously low. Never before had we actually have to take evasive maneuvers with the kids. We even witnessed one girl picking out marks and then hiding so that she may ambush the unfortunate person.
But you don't want to listen to an old fart complain about the kids these days, right? On to the pictures!
But now we get a full week of Jared in Bakersfield to work on Project: Unicorn Giggles.
This past weekend I was invited as a Guest of Honor at Phoenix Anime Fest.
And, by the way, thank you to those who showed up to my panels and Anthony and Joe for treating me like a princess, even though I didn't deserve it. And Dustin for hauling my ass all over the place. :] Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures to show. D'oh.
But I was able to help shed some light on some "cosplay mysteries" as well as grope myself in public. I was also able to judge the Masquerade. Oh My God, that is harder and more stressful than it seems. But I would still love to do it again. As well and the panels... IMPROVED panels, even. Now that I know what I'm talking about, I should be able to get through it without stubbling over myself or forgetting things.
Seriously, you should watch it.
Either I'm getting too old or the times, they are a changin'. Or maybe a combination of the two.
Or maybe this one convention was just incredibly boring.
But Ani-Magic 06 did not do anything for me. When I spend the majority of the time playing Animal Crossing or rollin' around on the grass with Queen Momo, something is not right in the land of programming. AND SOMEONE COULDN'T SHARE GUITAR HERO IN THE GAME ROOM.
Ah, well, it's out in good ol' Lancaster, California. So I can't expect too much, right? ;D
A few unfortunate souls got an eyeful of my panties when I bent over to pick up the Queen. Sadly, this isn't the first time I've done this in the Eureka costume. At Anime Expo of this year, the creators of the show asked us up on stage with them at their panel to take a few pictures. When all that was over, I thanked them and bent over to pick up my phone and badge only to hear them go "Ohhhh ho ho" and whisper
.....D'oh.
Back to the costumes! That wig. That wig. That wig is made up of two wigs. I tore the wefts out of the two wigs and stitched them on in a way that would look like pigtails with a part in the middle.
And it looks effin' rad if I do say so myself.
I really don't have anything else to add... So I'll leave you with a picture of us playing even more Animal Crossing.
