Con Reports

Hi there! Just over a year ago I moved to Seattle, and the weekend after I arrived was Sakura-Con. I had to work that weekend, so I didn’t go to it. Not to be defeated, I reached out to friends to see if anyone wanted to go this year, and one of them, the most ... Read More

Well, it’s that time of the year again, though with a little bit of difference to it. You see, AWA is moving from the venue it has been for the last 20 years to the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta as well as moving for the first two years at this new venue ... Read More

Yikes! It’s been ages since I wrote here… What today’s post will be is a combination of con reports for AWA in 2021 as well as last weekend’s 2022 edition. 2021 I wasn’t going to keep my hotel reservation until the Atlanta Braves made it to the World Series, which they eventually won. I’d initially ... Read More

It’s been over a week since I got back from attending Anime Weekend Atlanta for the 16th year in a row, and if I had to be honest with myself, this really was the best one ever. It had nothing to do with the convention’s content but rather had to do with getting to hang ... Read More

It’s been a week since I returned from Anime Weekend Atlanta 16, so I figure it’s time to make the yearly post about the con. Play-by-play begins here↓ Thursday, September 16: I woke up a lot earlier this year than the previous years, excepting the two years I worked on Thursday, mostly because I needed ... Read More

(This is a repost from my LiveJournal) As has been the Autumnal Equinox (well, almost) tradition the past five years, I attended Anime Weekend Atlanta yet again this year. One single word describes this year: wet. As per my normal pre-pre-con activities, I checked the weather on Monday and Tuesday of last week to discover ... Read More

(This is a repost from my LiveJournal) Brief recap time. Friday: Flight in not too bad, sitting at BWI playing FFXI while waiting for my friend Mike to call me to say he’s on the ground ends with a call about 10 minutes after his flight was supposed to land saying that he was still ... Read More

So, I finally made it back to MomoCon this year after missing it last year (due to needing to buy tires :/). Arrived at the con last night around 6:15 or so, grabbed dinner with a friend, then proceeded to wander around for a bit. I got there after the dealers room had already closed, ... Read More

(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

(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
