Mainly I’m posting because the Neko-Jin Girls just left after an extended stay and asked me almost every day if I had updated my blog. They’ll be at Otakon this weekend, so if you’ll be there check out their booth. I got a sneak peak at some of the stuff they were making and I doubt much of it is going to survive on the table for every long. Even better, you should head over to their page or livejournal and snap some stuff up before it disappears.
And now for a quick run down of what’s been going on since I last posted in *gasp* April!
I’ve been to two more conventions, Anime North and Connecticon. I had lots of fun at both, though Anime North is always the highlight of my year because I get to spend time with all the friends I’ve made there over the years. This year I room-shared with Ysa and crew so I got a lot more good actual social time with them. (As opposed to just waving as they pass my table at in the Dealer’s room.)
One of the coolest things about my trip to Toronto for Anime North was something that happened outside of the con. I got to see a live reading of a new play by a very good friend of mine, Regina Simon. It was an intimate little show and I was SO glad I got to see Harana performed. Harana is the story of Nene a young Fillipino girl coming of age during the Japanese occupation and Fillipino resistance and is based off the experiences of Regina’s Grandmother. It’s an excellent story and I hope it gets performed again so that more people can share in it.
Besides going to cons I’ve been working on a lot of new stuff to sell and getting them up on the site (with help!) Check out the new necklace, hand mirror and ring categories. My personal favorite is the Star Girl Hand Mirror:
In other news…
I no longer have roommates. Kristen and crew found a new home where they’ve actually been settled for a while now. We still have class and work together, so I can’t say I’ve had a chance to miss her. (I see her about as often as I did when she was living here, LOL.) Together we’ve completed our first semester of classes and almost finished the first of the second.
And to round up…
Because my life wasn’t crazy enough… I decided to help put on an anime convention here in Syracuse, the Anime Syracuse 2010 Festival. It will be a one day event in the Oncenter on September 11th. I’m the webmaster, staff artist, vendor coordinator and artist alley head. Pre-reg is open! Come out and have lots of nerdy fun! Because of that I don’t have another con planned for this year. I’m looking for events in October or November but it may be a little late to get into one. We’ll see!
