Back From S.D.C.C.
3 min read
So this summer I managed to make one of my nerd dreams come true: go to San Diego Comic-Con.
I expected some great things of this convention, but it blew my expectations out of the water. It had great panels, I went to 12 in 3 days. Had to wait for hours to get into the panel rooms, but it was all worth it in the end. I saw the Big Bang Theory writers, watched the first episode of season 2 of Legend of Korra, and the entire first episode of Agents of SHIELD. I also got to see the Doctor Who panel, and Community panel after camping out in line overnight. That's right! I did it!
The convention was very organized, I never had to wait more than 2 minutes to get anywhere in a line(except panels). The exhibition hall had merchandise for every sort of fan, and of course, comic-con exclusives. There was a sea of people, but everyone was polite and there as no pushing, in fact the people was what I was most impressed with. The staff was courteous, they were polite even when they caught us breaking some rules... At the end of a long line to get into panels in Ballroom 20 and Hall H, they gave us high fives and genuinely congratulated us on getting into the hall. I don't know if they were truly impressed with us, or just felt pity, either way, they made everyone feel that much happier after hours of standing in line. Other attendees were the best part. In line, everyone was up for a good conversation, and in our overnight line, like in the spirits of Catan, people started sharing resources. Everyone was sharing and caring for each other. The people around us offered to save our places in line if we had to step out to get things, we offered them blankets when they got cold, and everyone was sharing snacks and good company. Around the con, small courtesies really went a long way. People always ducked out of your way when you want to take a photo, if you drop something someone always picked it up and ran after you to return it. I have not had a single negative people experience there. I have never found another event as happy as SDCC.
The photos from the rest of my trip away from SDCC are up... I didn't take many photos at the convention because I went to so many panels and I was really just enjoying the atmosphere and the convention experiences that I didn't take many good photos, just photos for shenanigans and reference purposes, those photos will be on my facebook page soon. Until then, enjoy the photos of the beautiful California!

Wow!! Haven't even looked at DA in so long!!!
Part of the reason being I started in college doing technical productions a.k.a. theatre tech. and it's hectic. every class there is always an assignment/test every week. and prop class usually has us doing on average 5 items/ techniques a week. So i've been pretty much living in the prop shop this past month.
So I also found out that I don't completely suck at painting. Though I still can't measure properly and divide a square into 3 evenly but I can use a paintbrush! Yay!
The real reason I'm writing this is to say that I apologize for my late postings... and the photos I haven't finished... I know it's been eons since I shot them... but I have reading week coming up next week so I plan to finish them then!! PLEASE BEAR WITH ME!!!

Wow Just realized I haven't checked this since February!
First, I apologize for the extremely late photo finishing... the Katsucon photos will be done... before the summer ends?
I'm so behind in my AN preparations, photos have been neglected. But they're coming!

Whoa.
2012 already!
Where has my life gone!!??
I've been really remiss about checking my DA. I doubt anyone noticed... hahahahaha.
So after a month of planning, replanning, replanning again, cancelling, and more replanning I have finally decided I am going to Katsucon in Washington D.C.!
I really want to go just to see the city, the monuments, and the Smithsonian! But the Con is fun too!!
I'll be going with kaiser-mony and Aerialdown It will be loads of fun!
However I am struck down with sickness and unable to do Tsuruhime (from Basara III) that I wanted to do for Katsucon. Boo. I really like the character, she is exactly me if I was to turn into a video game character. Maybe I will do Ada again? I really want to roll out that outfit one last time before Rsident Evil: Retribution comes out... I swear... I made my dress before they made theirs! I am a bit insecure about wearing it though... i've gained some weight... boo.
Hope everything go well with the trip... first time going on a trip where I didn't plan it. Awesome.
