Yikes, I've never been on this many program items before at Finncon, and I've already been going there for at least 20 years O_o. Two fanfic panels (in Finnish), a vampire panel in English with one of the GOHs, and a the Johnny's fanmeet. And I thought I had mainly retired (or moved on, or whatever is the PC term nowadays) from the SF fandom :P ( Read more... )

Just saw a fancam of Tsubasa's tsubaushi miniskirt cow theme performance, and now I'm wondering whether I'll be able to locate some cow-patterned cloth in local shops before next weekend's con... Because being dressed as a cow would be hilarious, since only a select few people would get the reference XD!!!

Sigh! I was supposed to go to the Finnish JE fans' BBQ meet today after work, but when I got to work around 7.30 this morning, I was feeling a bit odd. And then I started feeling cold and shivering and feeling like I was just generally feeling not OK. So I ended up telling my boss that I'm not feeling good and I left home around 9 ( Read more... )

I've always been involved in all kinds of different fandoms simultaneously. I'm a literature fan, an sf/f fan, a Bollwood fan, a Veronica Mars fan, a Johnny's fan, an Asian drama fan, etc, etc. The list goes on and on. My main focus changes depending on the occasion.

The JE meet at this year's Finncon/Animecon is on Saturday, July 11.

Anyways, there is also going to be some programming at the meet, since we've talked about a 'Johnny's Intro Don' game with a couple of ( Read more... )

This post on making new "friends" and becoming acquainted with new people through fandoms is pretty interesting (found through metafandomhttp://catechism.dreamwidth.org/5725.htmlRead more... )

:( Looks like I won't be able to go to the Tegomass thing in Sweden next month :(. I might be able to make the meet & greet on Friday if I fly back to Finland the same evening, since I have a workshift on Saturday :P. I do have a couple of days free before the event.

Sigh!

After the recent Tegomass fanmeet I thought I should buy the "Miso Soup" single as well, since I already have the other two singles by this unit. Then I discovered that the Swedish edition of the single is dirt cheap (25 SEK! = ~2,5€ = ~2$) at a Sweden-based webstore, so I really had to buy it :D. Plus another copy for one of my US friends ( Read more... )

It's official. I am arranging a Johnny's fanmeet in this Summer's Finncon/Animecon. *scared* :D

Seeing how people in the helpvera community managed to collect almost 20.000 dollars in less than a week to help Vera Nazarian (norilana) has done a lot to help restore my faith in humanity ( Read more... )
