Sac-Con Septmber 07

I have some bad news and some semi-good news.

The bad news is that I have to work and I can't be there the whole entire time.

The semi-good news is that I talked to my manager and a co-worker who's looking for some hours, and he's willing to work the morning for me (which I was originally scheduled for) and I'll come in the afternoon to close up.

If everything sticks up, I'll have to be in at 4:30. That means the only thing I'll be missing is the cosplay contest. I'll be there for just about everything else.

New forums?

http://www.sacanime.com/forums/index.php
So, I got an e-mail saying "Hey, new Sac-Anime forums!"

Yeah...I know what you're thinking: there's already a forum for Sac-Anime. But this is supposed to be the "official" forums, compared to the other forums that exist.

I wonder what new drama we'll get from this...I'm not promoting any type at all, I'm just being cautious after what has taken place...

Looking Forward...

Yes, I do plan to attend to FanimeCon 2008. I hope to pre-register as soon as I can, but at least sometime during the early part of 2008.

By then, I should have more than one costume to wear at Fanime...but homemade or not is still up in the air...

Traveling Valentine

Man, I felt so stupid not to check their website after Sac-Anime. But by way of their business card, I did, and I found their report on Sac-Anime. Very insightful, full of pictures, stories, quotes, and much more. And since they were in the hotel room I was in, they got a couple of pictures of me, including this one infamous picture...


Which, BTW, they used as their banner for one of the subpages.

Cosplay Picnic Gathering

So yesterday, before I went to work, I went over to the Cosplay Picnic Gathering over at McKinley Park. The turnout was fewer than expected for me, but we still had a blast. I was working the BBQ making hambugers, and let me tell you: that fire was hot all the way through once the burgers started coming in. However, no one ate my potato salad and I think I left it there when I left...

We also went to the pond to feed the ducks, and I took a couple of pictures at the Rose Garden. Unfortunately, those didn't come out as well...stupid lighting.

They say the next gathering is supposed to be Sept. 1 @ the California State Fair, but odds are I will only get Sunday, Sept. 2, off for Sac-Con, so I won't be able to make it to that.

But I had a lot of fun, and I hope we get to do that more often outside of the cons.
