Jumbling Thoughts and Notions 2:22 PM

Trying to write the OniCon HELL Report for the AnimeHELL blog and I'm blanking. Can't think of what to write down. I've got lots to say, but can't seem to put it down in a coherent fashion. It doubly sucks that I don't have any video or photos of the event to include with the report. It's all tell and no show. I'll just write down some random crap and try to tie it all together somehow...

HELLnurse Katie Komix 10:05 AM

It seems like it's coming together. We're gonna have a planning meeting on Saturday, sometime. I talked to the King of Magical Girl Genre, Ed, and he said he had a few ideas. And Bruce talked to Katie and she gave it the green light. So, all we gotta do now is plug everything together and actually do the work of making a comic.

HELLish deversions 1:47 PM

Thinking about talking to Bruce about doing a Magical Girl parody webcomic HELL Nurse Katie. Just a thought.

Gotta get that table banner for HELL, too.

Post OniCon 1:13 PM

Gone to Houston and back and It cost me only a few hundred bucks to go in the end. But, hey, I had a good time and had a show. Or rather the show had me. Somehow the $60 Enterprise weekend special turned out to cost me $100. Why? I'm still not sure. Makes me not want to do any more trips with Enterprise. I'll go back to Avis, less freakin' hassles.

The Avertec mishap makes me want a new laptop, but I've been talking about getting a new button machine first. So far I'm not finding what I want.

The weekend looms large 8:23 AM

Getting it together 10:13 AM

Reading up on the tradition of the American Spook Show I really really wish I could some how incorporate the ideas and gimmicks into OtakuHELL. But there's a few problems to doing something like this. Hauling around the props would be a hassle. Where we do our shows is pretty much up in the air, there are no stages and curtains to hide the "magic." We're usually stuck in panel rooms, with very little beyond a table and the AV equipment. Control of things like the lights and what not, well that's really beyond what we could do. And on top of all that I don't know stage magic. And of course all those things cost money and require people to help out with all the props and gags.

But then again, maybe I can simplify it or tweak the gags to make them cheap, portable and easy to pull off. Something to think about...

Gotta finish up packing tonight. Stop by Bruce and Mundee's and pick up the swag that Katie left behind. And there are buttons to be made. Oh, and I need to print some fliers before I leave.

When do I sleep?

Sorry, busy right now 10:11 AM

A Ghoulish Good Time 1:49 PM

Slowly, it's coming together. It'll all work out in time for the show, I'm sure...

To do listing 12:38 PM

Gotta get fliers made. DVDs need to be made. Editing needs to be done. I need to find more stuff to show. Eh. Seems like I go through this before every show.

Looks like everything on the OniCon end is ready. Just need to rent the car on Friday.

Alternative 3 and Charley Sez came in over the weekend. Plus there's the collecting of Japanese horror trailers to be done and Meatball Machine to be sorted out. I need to dig out some of those El Santo DVDs, too. Some good monster stuff in there to harvest. And while I'm at it I need to compile some horror trailers for the show. It'll be fun!

Watched the Paul Lynde Halloween Special last night. I was hoping there'd be something in it for HELL. It's god awful.

I started ripping trailers, Some bits will certainly make it into HELL. Which reminds me, I need to make some DVDs right now.

And before I forget, I need to get cracking on the OniCon flier. Geez, I suck.

Going with the spook show theme I think. Scary stuff, kids...

Halloween and Christmas and Thanksgiving, too 9:04 AM

I'm Christmas shopping and looking for tickets to fly home around Thanksgiving and Halloween is coming up and I'm gonna need some Halloween stuff for OniCon and I'm thinking about all this the last few days. Holidays.

Staci and Mom and Dad are covered. I need to look at Chad's wishlist. I think I've got something for Rick. No idea what to get Joel. Ed's covered. Mundee's covered. I'm at a loss for Bruce. Josh and Michael I think I know what I can get. Clarine and Chris I'm looking and thinking.

Ah jeez, I gotta work on stuff for the show on the 20th. Gotta get some money to Katie. Screen printing ink for the panties.

The World is winning 8:34 AM

Ordered more DVDs from AV Geeks. Need to show more of that kind of stuff at HELL. Gotta review the Paul Lynde Halloween special for material, too. Time to fire up the movie box and go through those VHS tapes, too. That's be a good project for the weekend.

What the brush? 2:13 PM

OniConHELL is gonna be Saturday night at 10pm. Time to make the fliers.

One last show for the year 1:46 PM

OniCon is coming up soon. Need to get my shit together.
