Weekend Update: build gathering, Gouf work, and SCGMC news!

This past weekend was a busy one. I’ve been focusing on getting the HGUC Gouf Custom done, so there is a little bit of an update on that front. Saturday was the July build gathering. Normally, the gathering is either smaller because folks are tired from AX and it’s summer so folks are just busy with various summer activities. Or there is an explosion of new folks because of the workshops and panels at AX. But neither was true this time, it was just the normal gathering, about twenty or so came. It was fairly productive too, in comparison with the last build gathering.

On the SCGMC front; we have vendors and trophies. But more about that after the jump.

Anime Expo 2011

This past weekend was July 4, and the annual Anime Expo four days of fun. This year was different from the past several in that I wasn’t staffing the event full time; I only had one workshop presentation, and I was only at the event for two of the four days. I did continue my work with the AX Model contest, making sure the event was set up as well as judging the event. This year I took a much needed break from being a full time staffer. I think this is one of those things that volunteers should consider, especially if they are in the managerial positions of the show; but more about that later. This year I participated in the Gunpla Builder’s World Cup event.

Anime Expo 2011 – precon post

So this week, Friday through Monday, July 1 – 4 will be the annual Anime Expo. I’ve been a bit out of the loop due to work and life (having one that is…). Between Memorial day weekend and now, the group of us have been to Arizona, Vegas, hosted a build gathering, done the tango classes, and just gathered at the house to hang out and munch on food. The rest of my waking hours have been spent with work as my project has continued to downsize and I’ve taken up more and more responsibilities. I can’t even go in and study for some certification exams I have coming up that are for work without spending about half the day working on the day to day things. But by this time the last few years, I would have had one more day of work before throwing myself into the fury that is AX. Heh, I actually took vacation time to work, for free, at the con. But it was fun and interesting work and I got to meet some great young folks.
