Fanime 09 part II

I've been running here and there lately. Keeping up with friends and trying to find a job. Sent out plenty of applications but nobody has called back yet.

Today Pat and I went out for some Chinese style beef noodle soup. It was really good. I guess the waiter asked Pat (in Chinese) if he should make it less spicy for me. Hell no. Bring it on! At the end of the meal they brought out these little things. They were fried pastry filled with red beans and looked like mice. I almost didn't want to eat them, but they were too delicious to pass up.


Still lazily going through pictures I took over the last month. Here are a few more from Fanime. Cosplay this time around. First up is someone from Kuroshitsuji. I think...


The video game version of Haruhi.


A convention isn't complete for me without at least one Rabi-en-Rose sighting! But I am seeing fewer and fewer people dressing as Koge-Donbo's characters at Fanime so she was the only Rabi I saw.


This guy was pretty cool. He had a machine gun backpack that when he squeezed one of his gloves it emitted steam out the pipe in the top.

That's it for now. Back to being lazy.

Fanime 09

Slowly catching up to present time with these posts. But not really...These pictures are from our semi-infamous Gainax Suitcase Sale Incident where we partially cleared out a meet-and-greet with Kanti figures. The Gainax staff was all at Fanime last year and many of them wanted the figures. I guess you can't get them too easy in Japan since they were a US made product.


Anyways, they saw them at our booth and quickly bought all the ones we had. Shiz found more and brought them up with her on the plane. We took them to the party and ended up selling the last of them...out of a suitcase, on the floor, in the hall. It was all very shady looking but the staff was happy to get them.


I had my Yashica A on my that year so I snapped a few pics. This year some of the staff was back so I printed these out and gave them a copy. I wanted to give them a for-real print but never got around to it during the semester. grr.


I went to the party again this year and was actually let inside this time (Thanks everyone!). Being the dunce I am, I only showed up with my camera and no sign boards. After a few moments of debate Dee and I ran down the street to Walgreens where I picked up a cheapie sketchbook. I got this cute Yoko sketch during the party as well as a few signatures.


Afterwards Shiz took my sketchbook and got this super cool drawing of Nia. I'm contemplating taking them out of the book and mounting them to boards so I can put them out like my other signboards.

I took more pics with my Minolta this year but have been too lazy/busy to develop the film yet. Maybe later this morning?
