AWA WiFi Setup, or How to Avoid Needless Fees

It’s fairly common knowledge that most hotels these days have free WiFi in at least part of the hotel. The hotel in question is the Renaissance Waverly that Anime Weekend Atlanta has been at the past three years. Their free WiFi is in the lobby/convention center area (basically the first two floors of the hotel) ... Read More

AWA 2006, or up til 2am watching VHS transfers!

(This is a repost from my LiveJournal) ARGH I’m tired. Got home from the weekend around 6:30 or so tonight (amazingly enough, was like no traffic on 285). Let me tell you this, one of the most surreal things is seeing a hotel that just hours before was overrun with people be dead quiet. That ... Read More

Almost there…

Hour and 40 minutes til I’m out for a few days. Con tomorrow \(^_^)/

AWA Pre-Prep Stage 1

Router machine works! Should have wireless in the hotel room for access from PS2 and laptops. Next on the agenda is the acquisition of a box to carry stuff… that will be remedied tomorrow. After that… waiting for Thursday to do the final grabbing of stuff before airport→hotel→dinner→hotel+registration→???→PROFIT! …or something like that. At least preliminary ... Read More

「ごめんなさい。」「日本語が分りません。」^^;;;

Yeah, I’m sure some of you are saying the subject right now after the first 2 posts’ titles. The first one said, roughly, “Once more, let’s begin!” The second, “This is a test.” And this one is a play on the Auto-Translator from FFXI and says “{I’m sorry.}{I don’t understand Japanese.}” Although I don’t think ...

The AWA Post, Ver. 2005

(This is a repost from my LiveJournal) “HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR STEAK?” “MEDIUM RARE!” Peelander-Z pwns. Anyway, back from the DUR SUMMIT, I mean Anime Weekend Atlanta, after having “a hell of a weekend” (to quote my friend Mike). Weekend started on Thursday, “Day 0,” when I picked him up at the airport and ... Read More

AWA 2005

Anime Weekend Atlanta 2005 is under a month away, and I’m already getting the jitters (well, I was last weekend as Otakon was underway and I was getting live reports about it on IRC). I doubt many people I know read this, but yes, I will be attending it, no, I won’t be cosplaying, but ... Read More

New Anime: CLAMP and… wtf?

So a couple of new anime series started this weekend: Speed Grapher and Tsubasa Chronicle. First up is Speed Grapher. It’s… interesting, to say the least. It’s about a photographer and takes place in modern-day Tokyo (at least from what I can tell so far). That’s all I really know so far, as I couldn’t ... Read More

MomoCon

(This is a repost from my LiveJournal) Writing this at/on the way back from/after MomoCon. We got to the con around 6:45pm so most of the day’s events were done. The dealers’ room, small as it was, was in the process of closing so I didn’t buy anything, although they had some cool small Gundam ... Read More
