Need space solutions 12:23 PM

Put away the summer clothes and set up a rack for storing my cold weather clothes and I'm seeing that I need to change my room, badly.

Never, ever, buy the "Milk Crates" from office supply stores. They're too damn cheap and don't hold crap for crap. Nearly all of the ones I bought have broken or warped under the weight of the crap I put in them. Worthless pieces of crap. Crap!

Halloween happened 9:43 AM

And I watched Dracula with Joshua and had a good time.

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...
