Hotel Booked

The site for the hotel reservation for FanimeCon opened up yesterday, and today - 16 days earlier from last year - I made my reservation. I jumped on the reservation before the end of January last year, and I've done the same this year.

It's a great way to open up 2009!

2009

2009 is now upon us, and with that a new con season begins. It'll start with Sac-Anime next week, FanimeCon in May, and Sac-Anime (again) in August. Within that year, there will be Sac-Cons dotted that I will (probably) attend.

I'm also hoping to attend Anime Expo in July down in Los Angeles. Like I've said before, I haven't been to one since 2002, and it would be nice to see downtown Los Angeles - a part of LA I haven't visited yet.

2009 will bring new opportunities, adventures, and learning experiences. I may be 20, but there's still a lot to learn.

I hope that 2009 will be better than 2008 in every way imaginable.

Triple Angle

So as I was looking at the Related Videos to my vids that I took at Sac-Anime, I found two different angles when Sam Reigel asked Liam O'Brien a question.

The first video is my angle, pointed at the voice actors at the front. The 2nd video, courtesy of drizz56, is behind O'Brien. The 3rd video, courtesy of BlackInuyaju11, is in front of O'Brien.

More O'Brien & Pudding

I was waiting for the day someone would use my sound clip from Sac-Anime with Liam O'Brien as Lloyd talking about pudding and put in a clip from Code Geass.

Well Kohkki, thanks for making my dream come true.



For comparison, the original clip:

Sac-Con December 2008 Availability Update

I do have that day freed up on Sunday to attend, but I am on call for my workplace, probably as a precaution just in case someone calls in sick. Odds are I'll stay the whole time.

Update 12/9/08: I got called into work for Sunday, so I won't be able to go. However, its kind of a blessing in disguise. I can save up for Sac-Anime in January, and I have more time to study going into Monday's final.

Sac-Con December 2008 Status

As of today, I don't know if I will be attending Sac-Con December 2008. It all depends on two things; obviously if I work on that Sunday I won't be able to make it. However, if I do have that day off, then I may still not go. The two days after Sac-Con are Finals, and I may need that Sunday to study. I might not though, since I can use Friday and Saturday as study days, then use Sunday to relax to relieve stress levels going into those two days.

I have put in time off for Sac-Anime (like I've always done in the past) so I will definitely be attending that.

Also, keep an eye out for some important news...it's a secret for now.

Looking to 2009

November is upon us. Soon, we will be stuffing ourselves full of turkey, Black Friday deals, Santa, and 2009.

My two goals for the beginning of 2009 is to reserve a hotel room the instant the site is online, and to apply for a press badge. Once those two are down, then I will map out the rest.

Winter 2009 Guests Update

Looks like Vic isn't coming alone.

Travis and Laura are making their return to Sac-Anime.

...this is going to get interesting.

SCCG TV Sac-Con Yearbook

So, after the long wait, the Sac-Con Yearbook presented by SCCG TV - The Hardest Hitting News In The Universe arrived in the mail!

Now, I haven't viewed the DVD yet, but I will when I have free time.

Sac-Anime Winter 2009 Guests

Until an e-mail this morning, the only person I knew that was coming was Chris Saradon, the voice behind Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas.

For one, Vic Mignogna is coming back (although no Travis Willingham or Laura Bailey here). Lisa Furukawa also returns for another con, as well as the duo of Katie Bair and Jondon Bellofatto.

We also have Tom Kane, the voice of Yoda in The Clone Wars (both the 2003 TV series and the 2008 movie).


It may not be as epic as the three-headed-monster of Vic-Travis-Laura from last Winter, but a good line-up of guests.
