AWA Aftermath
AWA ?
AWA.
This year was awesome, as usual. Ended up winning Best Horror in Expo for Veil Of Innocence, which was cool; didn't have anything entered in the other two contests though. My panel with Ryno and Todd was absolutely packed; I've never seen that many people attend a VAT creator panel before. I was definitely happy to see such a great turnout, and the three of us gave one pretty awesome showing. We even added in some of TJ's stuff, in his honor. And, of course, catching some of AMV Hell 4 and all of the Video Game Project 4 was a highlight.
Non-VAT-wise, spent a good amount of cash in the dealer's room this year. Picked up some really nifty shirts (my favorite has to be the "Silent Hill is for lovers" one) and a bit of other assorted merch, including some of Hirameki's newest visual novels. Dropped by anime karaoke on both nights and sang a bit as well. Didn't find much else in the way of general panels that piqued my interest.
As always, though, AWA is mostly about hanging out with people. Got to catch up with lots of folks I hadn't seen in a while (I'll spare the massive list), and talk to a few that I hadn't spent much time with in previous years (Vlad, Quu, Corran, jbone, illia sadri, Moon, Beo, Gina, aerialesque, and a couple others). As per the usual, I enjoyed the dinner on Thursday and the festivities on Friday and Saturday nights. I may even be tempted to hit Acen next year, if I've got the time and cash.
Now, I'm up in Tennessee visiting the family for a week, so I'm heading out for a bit. Later, guys.
