KALAFINA!! (http://www.acen.org/content/kalafina)
Well... after much consideration I decided to go to Acen this year. Factors were 1. KALAFINA!! (http://www.acen.org/content/kalafina) 2. Trying to gather Midwest Touhou people to Acen so that we can make this year's Touhou photoshoot a BIG one :3 and 3. Pretty close to where I live, certainly better than driving 6+ hours to another con in the midwest
So, definitely I'll be cosplaying. I'll see if I can bring out all the 2hu costumes I have atm.
There's a Mahjong panel going on at Acen, felt like checking that one out. Also I'll see if I can get into the Mahjong tournament. I luv playing with members of the Chicago Anime Mahjong People (C.A.M.P.) that hosts the tournament. I probably won't survive for too long, but yeah certainly fun to play XD
Also let's not forget the Soap Bubble XD
Play with us online, we'll help you get better :D
I pretty much hear two things universally about Acen: that the music guests are all incredible and that the rest of the con is abysmal.
Hopefully all y'all are comin' to Otakon, right?Nah, I might be in the DR then.
Right? :|
Nah, I might be in the DR then.
Still very unsure about Otakon because there are too many factors to consider at once :/ I do plan to go to Otakon some day thoughThings are lining up to be totally bonklers at Otakon this year and each passing day emphasizes that further.
It's the 20th Otaversary so this is the year to come, with some pretty awesome things in the making.Hey sis check out this group I now associate with it's half 18 year old girls and half 28 year old guys all of them are in skirts.
YEAH THAT MEANS YOU TOO VIC.
My sister is coming with, first time at Otakon since 2006 oh how the scene has changed since then :V
Hey sis check out this group I now associate with it's half 18 year old girls and half 28 year old guys all of them are in skirts."You know it's a good Con meet up when your parents ask why half of the people dressed up [in skirts] are guys.
Another summer playing WHERE IN THE WORLD IS MOTHERFUCKING VIC AT >:(My passport expires in 2018, I want to see how many stamps I can get before then.
My passport expires in 2018, I want to see how many stamps I can get before then.As soon as I graduated college, I wanted to travel, but having no income meant it was mostly too expensive. Now that I have a cash influx, I've been taught to be too afraid to take any more than 2 consecutive days off out of fear that the department manager will have laid off the entire department (including himself) and leaving the janitor as the only line of defense between the shaky manufacturing line of tools for open heart and neurosurgery and hundreds of lawsuits. I still have no idea how travel "happens".
I get plenty of vacation time at my job--except it's all unpaid furlough time, meaning that with my $2000/mo in student loans, I don't really have the means to travel a lot.
But vacations at home drawing Madoka ecchi are fine too right ??
Hey sis check out this group I now associate with it's 10% 18 year old girls and 90% 28 year old guys all of them are in skirts.Fixed that for you :V
Will she survive?
and get shoes/a proper sword prop instead of a wallscroll!)I can actually sell you some swords I got when I was planning Youmu that only need the minor customization they're just chilling in a closet still in the shipping box :V
Also Otakon's first OH SHI- guest: T.M. Revolution coming back (https://www.otakon.com/guests_musicsat.asp) oh man oh man who else went to the original concertwelp now I feel like the old lady of the con scene
Also Otakon's first OH SHI- guest: T.M. Revolution coming back (https://www.otakon.com/guests_musicsat.asp)
I'm interested in the "TMR x ???" bit at the top. Maybe one of the groups that likes to cover his songs, like High and Mighty Color?
I can actually sell you some swords I got when I was planning Youmu that only need the minor customization they're just chilling in a closet still in the shipping box :VHm, when I get out of the February-March region of time so I can actually spend my money again I might just take you up on that, whether I go to Otakon or not! I'll PM you if I do end up going with that idea so as not to clog this/other topics with details, etc.
shit man when last year I attended AFA and say MayN Kotoko Fripside and a host of others including TMR, it was well worth every single cent. gee, actually it was life changing.Aw man if I had the money to travel to Southeast Asia I could. Last year's trip to Comiket left a big budget gap :[
but none of you want to come for Asian cons???
heck we have the best *technically speaking cons.... and hey we have skinny asian traps.
If you haven't heard already (which I'm assuming MOST of you must have), then you'd better get ready to hit Atlanta HARD!!

fuck school fuck everything I'm going there! :D :D
I hope this year in STGCC there is another DJ Battle between some famed ani-song makers and mixers.
I think I might need to be there to stop a certain idiot from spending all his money.
Some of you may know I am hosting a maid cafe in May at our shores, although I really don't think any of you would go so far as to come here and attend it half a world away. (I mentioned this in IRC)how do you exactly host a maid cafe
This looks fucking interesting.

"Close your eyes and listen to the music"
"BUT WHITECANVAS SELLS GOOD STUFF K
Actually we are doing a guerilla-concept restaurant, we set up, we take it down. within the same weekend. the way I mentioned host, is because I am the one making all the arrangements, including conducting training, uniforms etc.
I will be sponsoring at least half of it, if needed be I will take the profits and cover.
SHUT UP THINK ABOUT ALL THE STARVING CHILDREN WHO CANNOT AFFORD TOUHOU PLUSHIES

Returned from a local event (OZINEFEST), 2nd day. Won't be able to attend tomorrow since it's my grandmother's 90th birthday. :fail:
I wasn't able to go out and explore and snap more cosers because I was holed up at our Touhou booth and I was mostly there being an honorary stalker person :V
I like how Nyaruko is above Wizard and Super TaToBa
So guys, how about that Anime North in 2 weeks?Why you guys gotta steal the Hen Da Ne guys? :(
Touhou Project Panel will be Saturday at 7pm at the DoubleTree hotel, just a heads up :V
Related: Otakon's guess-the-guest contest is going on right now for their big sunday concert. Apparently it's being billed as a world premeire?They're having three concerts this year?
They're having three concerts this year?
So guys, how about that Animazement in 2 weeks?Adjusted for the situation in this region. Thus that weekend will be pretty damn busy and spread-out for us, it seems.
Touhou Project Panel will be Friday at 7:30pm at the convention centre, just a heads up :V
So all you people who are Too Cool For Otakon have yet another reason to change your minds (http://www.otakon.com/guests_musicsun.asp)Too bad Cowboy Bebop was 15 years ago and no one cares anymore about her :smug:
Seriously, most of my friends who OMG OTAKON SUCKS decided they're coming now :V :V :V
If only I could actually make Otakon this year. :(Nooooooooo, don't go to summer ket unless you like being miserable. Winter ket is way batter.
On the bright side I can make summer Comiket, but that requires me to reschedule a trans-Pacific flight plus spend extra on hotel, food, and such (possibly eating away at my AWA funds).Still uncertain.

FINEThat's fine, I can't drink much anymore anyway. Started a new eating plan last month and cutting out alcohol entirely is one of the early stage steps.
BE A BUTT AND NOT COME AGAIN
WE'LL JUST DRINK ALL THE ALCOHOL WITHOUT YOU BECAUSE I SORT OF CAN AGAIN
I'm the only one who remembers that Darker than Black ever existed. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnRCmREdPbc) :(Looking at that song title reminds me of Kaze no Stigma, or Kurokami. Never seen DTB though. Is it good? What's it about? Does it have people with interesting outfits?
That's fine, I can't drink much anymore anyway. Started a new eating plan last month and cutting out alcohol entirely is one of the early stage steps.You going to AZ fool?
You going to AZ fool?Yeah, I'll be there. Heard someone's gonna have Project Diva set up :V
Yeah, I'll be there. Heard someone's gonna have Project Diva set up :V:D!
Just dumping the bad photos I took at Anime North using my camera phone:Hey man you totally came to my panel right? Right?
