I still havent gotten rid of my SomeguyItis.
Friday May 11th: DAY ONE OF ACEN:
We awoke in the hotel, watched Sarah leave for the shuttle, left, and saw her in the lobby. And if there was room in my truck, I would have offered a ride. I wouldnt feel right having a girl ride in the bed of my pickup. A guy, no problem.
We stopped by the Denny's, as it appears to be a con goers tradition. I was going to make a little sign for Someguy, and take a photo, but the camera had no batteries yet. And it didnt come out on my phone.
While trying to find schedules, we asked a staffer where to get one. She didnt know, and went to ask her superior, the head of video programming. He took us to the office, and somewhre in the communication of it all, Shinkiro and I were confused as VIP guests. Voice Actors, Directors, something. You know the rest.
The fire alarm goes off, we evacuate, and then its just watch the cosplayers watch the firemen, I just wish I could know what they were saying to each other. I bet someting like WTF, WTF, WTF.
We see some panels, Shinkiro and I split off, I go to see the FMA panel. The VA's for Hawkeye, Mustang, and Fahlman were the guest speakers. They went into details about what they did on the show, the fact that Russel Tringham was in charge of the whole thing(Justin Cook, aka Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho) Thats where I got the pic of the Homunculi.
I wanted to see the Trigun Panel, thats where I met back up with Shikiro. It was a typical Q&A about the Anime and Manga, some of Nightow's other works, and Krispy Kreme donughts for some odd reason. And when Mr. Nightow was asked about the black cat in Trigun, THE BASTARD WOULDNT ANSWER. "I never saw a cat in Trigun, you must need more sleep if youre seeing things that arent there." The bastard, the cat is his own little joke, and he wont let anyone in on it. Wolfwoods inital, means "If you ask me about the D, one more time, Im going to dump you into Osaka Bay" Pretty funny guy, Im glad I went to see him.
If we went to the Wii panel, I could have had the chance to beat Mustang's ass in Wii Bowling. DAMN.
Here is what made my fucking weekend, at the "What happens at the Con..." panel. Spike took out some of his books, some of his new Audio books, and then a couple of dark ales, Guinness, I think. He then asked the over 18 crowd if anyone had a bottle opener. I have the Queen Bottle Opener that I gave my mom before she passed away. So I was the only one who had one. I walked my way up to the front of the room and got to meet Spike Spencer. I shook his hand, said hey, he opened his beer and I went to sit down to listen to his sordid anime con stories. While Shinkiro tuned out, I listened keenly. Im a bit of a sick person, so it fit into my sense of humor like a glove. Nerd Orgies, Oh my Hentai, Voice Actors and Porn Stars, I thought it was funny as hell. About halfway through, he ran out of beer, and pulled out another, again, only Schultzie could help Shinji get boozed up. It made my fucking weekend.
After that we left, Anime Hell was supposed to be great, but the Main Hall would have filled up by the time we got there, so we went to get some sleep.
Saturday tomorrow if Im around to do it.
Take care and Next time on ACEN 07 RECAP SPECIAL:
Giggling Katanas, Lost Fangirls, A YAOI island, and enough endless wandering to make Ronin Samurai say "Take a break"
Later
John
