Day 1 Friday Update

I have checked into the con, but I'm dealing with some personal issues, so as of now I haven't been there for the majority of the time.

I hope everything will be resolved by Saturday so that I can enjoy everything.

First Daily Update Webcast Uploaded

It was the night before Sac-Anime and all through the house, not a creature was stirring...except for me packing, figuring out what the hell to bring, and figuring out what the hell to do that weekend.

As we go into Thursday...

I just got an e-mail from Sac-Anime telling me two things - that Chris Sarandon is not attending the show because of "an illness in the family," and the panel schedule.

I've been waiting for the panel schedule, and I'll list them here.

Friday
3PM - Voice Actor Panel with Vic Mignogna, Travis Willingham & Laura Bailey
5PM - Autograph Session with above guests

Saturday
11AM - "Cosplay: Bringing 2D Characters into a 3D World" Hosted by Katie Blair
12PM - Q&A with Tom Kane
2PM - FMA Panel with Vic Mignogna, Travis Willingham & Laura Bailey
3PM - Autograph Session with above guests and Tom Kane
4PM - "Learn Japanese Through Song" with Lisa Furukawa

Sunday
10AM - Story Story Die
11AM - Q&A with Tom Kane
12PM - FMA Panel with Vic Mignogna, Travis Willingham & Laura Bailey
1PM - Autograph Session with above guests


Don't forget about about the Friday Night Concerts with Lisa Furukawa, akai SKY and {mid:night} (I haven't seen any of them for probably a year now, so it'll be nice to see them again); and the Saturday Rave featuring The Random DJ's.

Tomorrow I will "debut" my daily update videos.

Inching Closer to Winter '09 Show

Today is Tuesday, meaning you have three more days (counting today) to prepare for Sac-Anime Winter 2009.

I'm going to try something a bit different. I will still provide some video coverage, but for the most part it'll be daily updates via webcam upload (instead of using a camcorder). I think by doing it this way I can provide more daily updates much quicker.

Anyways, hope to see you all there on Friday!

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.
