Anime Expo (Post Con Version)

Another Anime Expo (AX) has come and gone. I staffed the event for the first time this year at the Art Show, dealing mostly with the Model Contest aspect of the event. This gave me the opportunity to experience a completely different viewpoint to the event. For the past couple of months, I have made many new friends with a good number of AX staffers, so as a result, I picked up a really insightful view of the event. I now have a greater understanding of the sacrifices made by the fans of the event so that they can greatly improve an event that they love and once upon a time, were mere attendees.

Anime Expo 2008 (before the show post)

Anime Expo (AX) is coming up in the next few days. I am looking forward to this as this should keep my heart and mind busy for the next week or so. I have finished revamping the first part of my workshop presentation, but I still need to polish up a few things on the other two parts. I have a few videos to shoot to finish up the figure building section. I wish I could have finished the Kanu, but there were a few extenuating circumstances.

A life less ordinary….

Or, it could be completely normal; but in comparison to good old TV, and what we are all taught to be “normal”; I’m pretty sure that I’m way out there in left field facing the fence. This weekend was an interesting one; and the events leading up to it began last Thursday evening.

In other news, Saturday was a nice break from things, with IPMS Ontario’s MiniCon event and a rather smaller than normal build gathering; a good time was had. Here are a few pictures from MiniCon.

Ski Trip 2008

Our annual ski trip has come and gone. This is the 8th year of this event. The conditions were very nice, not a single cloud in the skies over the entire weekend. This year, the core group was treated with alot of new faces. There were six complete newcomers; and in usual fashion, the law of averages suggest that one of them has to be “the one”; but more on that later.
