The Convention and Hotel Season


Lots of convention-goin' and travelin' going on these days. We've already done Anime Expo 2006 in Anaheim and Comic-Con in San Diego, both last month. Then, the first week of August, Amy went to Baltimore for another anime convention, Otakon, where she dressed as the lead character from the manga HELLSING. (That's her with the coffin, with lots of other Hellsing cosplayers.) The creator of Hellsing, Kouta Hirano, was at the convention, hence Amy's sojourn there.

Next weekend's the World Science Fiction Convention. Although it's going on for five days (starting Wednesday), we're only going Saturday, since they forewent the custom of holding the con on Labor Day Weekend.

But on Labor Day Weekend, it's yet another convention, as we drive to Sin City for Anime Vegas. (Yes, the creator of Hellsing will be there too, so . . . ) Then, later in the month, we're going on our annual vacation -- to Kauaui. (Thank goodness for timeshares!)

There are wi-fi watering holes everywhere, so no matter where I go, I will blog. (If I get the time.)
