Anime USA happened and I had many more successes than failures this year. I am glad of that. I also am glad that I have help to make it happen for the first time in a while. I had people I can trust and that really matters to me ( Read more... )

I am doing well after Sandy. I only had a couple quick loss of powers. This was much better than the 36 hours during Irene. The new lines and tree trimming have worked wonders this time. Aberdeen seemed to have less power outages than usual.  I have lost two days at work because of no trains, but work will hopefully not be super stupid tomorrow and ( Read more... )

This is the first time I feel I've made awesome happen in several years. I've been the Assistant Director of Guests for the last two Anime USA. I helped to bring great guests who really had a great time including a special attendee who got a dream made. It is why I said so many times this weekend about awesome.

This year was quite a challenge for ( Read more... )

 I have a lot to say (some nerd wise, some not) after three weeks off. Work hit me hard with the arrival to customers of Free Comic Book Day books. This leads somehow to more issues on that front (for a variety of reasons) along with covering someone else's work last week made it very busy.

I did see Thor and was entertained by it. I won't say ( Read more... )

I have been fighting an illness, since the time of Anime USA. Those who saw me a lot saw my coughing. I think I know what it is and it is Asthmatic Bronchitis. From reading about it, I think I understand what brought it on hard was the bug that spread amongst people at work a week or so before Anime USA. I was coughing up a storm yesterday morning ( Read more... )

It was one of those weekends that you get initiated into a new area of con and nothing is like how you expect it. It was a great weekend in spite of some things. Those things can’t be talked about in a public or private LJ post in respect to some people I want to keep as friends. These issues weren’t my fault at all. I just have to deal with the ( Read more... )

Tomorrow around this time I will be at Anime USA and deep into whatever issue of the moment that may happen. I am kind of ready for it and I am kind of not. It is the unknown that I am not sure of. This always happens during the days before a convention I help run. This year just seems more draining than usual, though for some reason. It also has ( Read more... )

It is very busy and stressful in my life for me or I would be writing. I think people know what the stress is and I don't need to say much more than that. Right now, I am glad that in two weeks I can relax somewhat until after the holidays. I think I have hit the realization that I am doing a lot, but don't know enough especially in the Foreign ( Read more... )

It has been a pretty chaotic couple of weeks for me due to lots of Anime USA matters and an upper resperatory infection. Let me start off with quick NYCC/NYAF thoughts though. New York Anime Festival/Comic Con wasn't a quality show because it was so crowded for me. It did have it's good moments such as meeting Tomm Moore (the director of Secret of ( Read more... )

From here until the Middle of November, it looks like I will be deep in Anime USA stuff for the next few weeks. That means I am not sure how much blogging I will be doing between now and then. I will take a day and a half break next weekend for New York Comic Con, which I am looking forward to greatly. It is probably because I hope to see Tomm ( Read more... )
