Okay, so here's an article that was going around my friends' pages on facebook yesterday. It's from someone's tumblr -- but at least some of what he or she says makes sense. What does everyone else think?
IDK... |
bump!
So I have to go pick up some spackle and headbands on payday so I can start working on Stein's new screw prop at some point. Hopefully before Otakon. ^_^; |
Bumping for an update: in case you haven't heard, Otakon announced their Sunday musical guest...
...Yoko Kanno. As in, THAT Yoko Kanno. Cowboy Bebop Yoko Kanno. Macross Frontier Yoko Kanno. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Yoko Kanno. The Yoko Kanno who allegedly is also Gabriela Robin(Information High, one of THE best Macross songs, IMHO). Everyone, get ready to throw your money at Otakon for pre-registration NOW, if you haven't already. lol. [XD] additional: Spackle get, although Michael's didn't have the headband I needed. So I'll prolly end up scavenging from my old prop if I don't feel like taking a walk over to A.C. Moore... |
No Otakon for me.

Maybe one day an American con

You should at least try; I would presume that the only thing better would be a Japanese con. |

It would have been great to see in real life. I am really just so happy that I've seen this talent, thank you for sharing! I've never been to a comic con or the like due to them being really far away. I hope to go to one later this year though since I have and IOU plane ticket somewhere up my sleeve. I'd like to cosplay Asuna from Sword Art Online but I will definitely be buying a costume rather than making one. I kind of wish that my face shape was more slim like hers but whatever. |

bump! And there are just over 76.5 days until Otakon! [:D]
I still need to get my pre-reg in, so I'll be doing that once I get paid; I'll have to go ahead and take the trek to AC Moore to get the last item I need for my prop, then I can start working on it. I think I can get it done well in advance of Otakon. [:D] So, what's everyone's next convention? Or are you already AT one this weekend?(Because if you ARE -- LUCKOS. [XD] ) |

It will be okay though since it's like 6 months away! Damn, living in America must be so awesome for all of the conventions you guys get! |
ok....and I'm going to con next week!!!

it's not on the list because it's not a USA con

HIM's costumes have arrived 8D
|
yay!!!
|
HIM's just waiting on bits and needs to order some more...possibly
|
I still need to get the headband for my prop, but I'll have to put it on hold until at least next week; right now, it looks like I'll be working Tuesday to Saturday this coming week.
But I'll still be putting in my pre-reg for Otakon, though; I'll just have to wait until I got get my headband to stop by the library and get the relevant forms printed out. Quote:

So, as of this past Wednesday, who has two thumbs and has pre-registered for Otakon?
this guy right here. [XD] Now I just need to score some sort of crash space. And bus tickets. And finish my new prop. All in around 70 days. Okay, chums -- let's do this. LEEEEEEEEEEEEEROYYYYY JEEEEEEENKINSSSS. |
obligatory bump! [XD]
So, there's about two months until Otakon, and the only things I've done are to request time off from work, and to pre-register. So I guess I have to really start looking for a hotel room next week. Oh, and pick up that last little piece I still need for my prop -- I can wait until next week to do that, I think. But I really should start working on the rest this weekend, if I've the chance. Also, Ota had their last "hay guise, guess the musical guest" contest recently; based on the available clues, I guessed it was May'n. Actually, I kind of hope so -- not so much because "hey, I want stuff", or because I like her stuff(hey, come on -- she's Sheryl Nome's singing voice, for crying out loud) -- it's because for once, I wanna get one of these things RIGHT. [lol] So, who else has con planning in the works, and how is it going? |
I'm going to the same con I went to last weekend in the upper half of my country later on this year (mainly for rehab for the knee....long story), so getting the accomidation, flights and tickets starts next month all the way to October. Some of the guests are already announced!!
|
So it occurred to me (after I bought the headband for Stein's new headscrew) that I could just take the man, non-headband bits from the old prop and glue them to the new one. And then I facepalmed because I had already bought all the other materials. But I'll probably end up remaking the prop before Nekocon, anyway.
Otakon is in just over 50 days. Speaking of Otakon, they just announced Kyle Hebert as a guest. AND IT'S ABOUT BLOODY TIME, I SAY. [XD] |
