Ok finally out of my post A-Kon coma..well it's more like me just moping around the house and catching up on my sleep but anyways back and it's well past time to update. Nothing really too huge to report here. On the 23rd I went to a wedding for two of my friends. It was nice to see a lot of the group again and I was really glad they were surprised and happy to see me. During the reception Bunny and I were sneaking some rum....halfway through the reception they changed to a rave....that was awesome! Spent Memorial Day on the road. We went up to Austin to help move our friend Monkey back down to Corpus. While on our way back we all got this craving for pizza so we tried to find the Chicago Pizzeria...which we had found after we got lost after the Voltaire concert. Monkey has a smart phone so the boys thankfully found it before it closed and ordered us up a couple of pies YUM! Afterwords Saffron was sure we had to go back the way we got lost and I said to turn around to get back on the road home so because of her directions this time around we ended up in Del Rio and in another storm =( This past weekend went up Dallas with Chrislea this time for A-Kon! Thankfully no storms this time lol. I had a blast at the con. Seriously shortly after I arrived in the A-KonTV room they offered me Venom *a multishot drink* I :heart: my crew! Once again it seems we did little recording later in the weekend but we did catch some fun stuff early on. I even got to "sneak" into the concerts and film. I say "sneak" since the past two years or so we've been letting the Art Institute of Dallas take over recording all the main programming stuff like concerts and cosplay for us...which is cool since they have better equipment and more people to get more angles and they even get class credit for doing this. I wish I could get class credit for filming the con. Anyways so because I am made of so much awesome and win the like press director actually let me *ONLY ME* into the press pit area to film. Sliding around on my knees to get awesome shots....lots of fun! Then later Clu and I went down and interviewed/filmed people before the rave and during we were doing this whole commentary thing from one of the side stages built for filming. Lots and lots of drinking later it's Sunday afternoon and we make one last trip to the dealer's room. I got a few good deals ended up spending a little more than I wanted to but in the end I'm happy with most everything I came home with...the only things I'm not happy with are some random grab bag items that weren't even on that dealer's table =( Monday night I thought I was going to just hang out with Triball and the people that live at his place but it turned out that it was Ross' birthday so we had a little party with the usual gaming group with was pretty cool...Saffron and Joel also joined up for a while until Bear showed up and Saffron hid in the other room since Joel didn't want her to leave. Overall though we had a good time. Tuesday night went to hang out with Clare over at the restaurant that we all used to frequent. It was nice to catch up with her. Turns out she is wanting to help with RealmsCon this year but not run it...I told her if she does I'll be on her crew...and that would be only way I would volunteer. I still do not want to be associated with the CEO but I loves me some Clare and VAs that'll be there LOL. IF I do end up going I'll also be able to get James O'Barr to sign my copy of Manic =D So that's pretty much the run down of what's been happening with me. List of events I'm looking forward to: ___________________________ Golden Meanies Concert in Corpus June 4th *wow it's been forever since I've seen them play...wonder if their guitarist will still remember me?* Reely Rotnz Concert in Corpus June 7th Lions Concert in Austin June 12th *first concert after recording the new album...I'm excited!* Lions AND Here Holy Spain Concert in Fort Worth June 20th Saffron's Birthday Bash July 2-4 Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp IN CORPUS!!
