Memories from Fanime

I decided to restructure our blog format slightly, since we may start having some entries from other people-- starting with one from one of our writers, Megan (Omega), in the works. That, and I don't think Andrew and I have been posting often enough to warrant each having our own column right now. :P

Anyway... as far as convention reports go, I think I'm going to continue the format that Andrew used for Anime Central. Rather than boring you all with a play-by-play of each con, I'm just going to describe a few of our most memorable times from each one. And yeah, I'm a little behind with these, but I'll catch up. Eventually.

So, going in order, the next con we went to after ACen was Fanime.

Memory #1: Geographical location still means something.

Many of our booth visitors seemed more interested in what we were doing, after learning that we were a local company. I was a little surprised by the extra attention, considering how common Internet usage has become these days. Most people I know have ordered things online or have met friends online from other countries. I've even worked on paid projects with people I've never met in person before.

People still care where a company is located?

A couple more AX '07 photos posted

So I promised a certain someone that I would start posting more regularly to my blog again. Starting today, in fact. So here I am. I actually have a handful of half-finished entries stacked up, just waiting to be finished, but it's the end of a long week and I'm too tired to be trusted to write anything that's both coherent and interesting right now. :P

So for now, I just wanted to point out that I added a handful more photos to the AX photo gallery today. I was looking at the images stored on my camera, and realized that I took some pictures on the last day of AX that I never downloaded. I'll have something more interesting to talk about next time, I'm sure.

For example, there's an almost-finished review of Brooktown High that I've been meaning to post. I talked a bit about this game during our panels at AX, but there wasn't enough time to say too much about it, so I feel like I should give a more comprehensive review sometime.

On a completely unrelated note: Guitar Hero Rocks the 80s comes out in 4 days!! And I guess the last Harry Potter is finally out... I'll probably read it eventually, but I'm in no big hurry. Don't worry, I won't cry if you spoil it for me. (Or should I say, sorry to ruin your fun... if you're that kind of person.)

This is what I had for dinner tonight. (Bibimbap!)

That is all.

Andrew's insomniac musings

Colleen's note: Andrew suggested that this might be turned into a blog, so here it is (again). :P The original thread can be read here.

I'm having another bout of insomnia, so maybe I'll pseudoblog in this thread. See, I don't even know how my (very infrequent) blogs even make it up to the top page. I sort of just email them to Colleen (tanukisunshine), and they magically appear.

That's one of my problems. There are a few things that I'm pretty good at. Anything outside of those domains, and I'm a complete waste of space. For example, it's a little-known fact that I'm photoshop-phobic.
