Quickie Update from AnimeExpo

[dee_monster]

I've earned only a C- on this con trip, I'm afraid, since I seem to have utterly failed on doing any of the traditional con thingies. No panels, no workshops, no shopping, no manga buying, etc. But we had a blast anyway! Myung volunteered us to work the Del Ray booth both Sat and Sunday-- and that earned us an industry badge, dinner with the rest

>__<~ Sorry I didn't get to talk to you or Myung or Ralph that much~~ and sorry you had to leave so early during the Pseudome dinner...I guess we were all super busy, huh?

Anyways just wanted to say sorry you couldn't hang out more. ;___;'''

Hi, Pinkchan, thanks. I'm glad I got a chance to meet you though I do wish there'd been time to hangout more. I think you made quite an impression on Ralph-- it was his first con and his first opportunity, I think, to connect with kindred spirits. It would've been cool to sit down and get geeky, talking shop about comics. Ah well - maybe next year!

[pinkchan]

Oh dude, it was his first convention!? He said it was his first convention of that size...but being his first convention entirely, it must've been quite a shock! I remember my first convention... *holds hat to chest, wipes a tear of nostalgia away*

Maybe we'll have more time at AnimeLA? (Though GoHing must be more demanding...) I'm doing the table thing there, too!

Heh, hope I haven't impacted his coolness rating. :D I probably misunderstood Myung.

Oh, about the table rig: this is the site we referenced to construct it: http://homepage.mac.com/geerlingguy/jeffscomputersupport/tech_help_articles/photography/homemade_greenscreen.html My roommate built the frame out of PVC and Bettina did a brilliant job of sewing the fabric backdrop. We velcoed on the pinups. If you lived a bit closer I'd offer to share but you could probably build your own for what it'd cost you to ship it back and forth across the country.

Oh, WOW...thanks for the link. O_O I'll definitely bookmark it and check it out later... the guy next to me had another lightweight metal contraption that clamped directly to the table, and I noticed a lot of people with a similar system- probably because the green screen stand type would take up a bit of back-table room, and back-table room was in very short supply. @_@

But yes, thank you for the link! Maybe I'll figure out a contraption of my own...a hybrid, of sorts. XD
