JSYK: Otakon was AWESOME.

The convention center it was in is XBOX HUEG compared to Baltimore -- and the area has actual GROCERY STORES, so you're not at the mercy of fast food for every meal. Plus there are parks and the like close by. And Chinatown. And the convention center is on a Metro stop, so if you're coming in from Reagan National, or Union Station, you can get to the con easily.

I think it's going from August 10-12 next year, and they already announced Todd Haberkorn as a guest.

That's good to hear that Otakon was awesome! biggrin I know I have at least one American friend that goes to it. Maybe one day I'll be able to go?

That's awesome! I've met Todd last year at Otafest actually. I got him to sign a Haru (Free!) print. I even did my imitation of Happy's voice (Fairy Tail). He seemed to like my imitation. Aye Sir!


If you can, you should! I think next year is Otakon's 25th anniversary, so it's going to be a big one!

Definitely a letter and handwritten things are way more romantic. Kind of reminds me how Luna and Noctis communicate with each other through a notebook that Umbra brings back & forth between them. ^^

And ah, I see~ Yeah, I feel you on that, but from my experience with organizing events for cosplay groups that I'm part of. Scheduling things for a group is hard at times.

Fires are alright, I guess since they're from BC and mountains. It sucks that the wind sometimes blows the smoke from the mountains into our direction. I'm okay with smoke in the air, but it can make me cough if I have a cold though. It's pretty bad for my best friend and my boyfriend. They both don't have the greatest of lungs. D: I just wish it would downpour over where fires are, so that they can be put out. It seems the fire crew can't keep up at times. D:

AB sure had its share of natural disasters within like 5 years. First, floods. Next, fire up in the north and now, fires in BC/mountains. I sure hope things die down soon.

That's good that things seem good with you, Angel. smile

Btw, I'm back from my trip~ I came back home this past Sunday evening. The drive was interesting. Right after leaving Animethon, there was a thunderstorm and it was raining hard, which made people either slow way down or stop along the side of the road. I pushed forward by following a truck that was in front of me. I focused on its taillights. Then, after rain moved away, smoke was everywhere. It felt like you were in a Silent Hill movie.

Also, as per Ron's PM, I decided to move this thread to Main Forum to continue conversations and what not. ^^

Now for an official date. My schedule next week looks pretty good, but on the flip side I didn't get any work hours. I'm going to talk to the store manager on Thursday about it, because it doesn't look like I'm fired or anything. I talked to the manager and my lead and they knew nothing which would be weird since all managers usually are on the same page. It's not the Store Manager that does the scheduling, but I feel I need to go above the scheduling manager this time because it's not my first issue with her.

I also go back to school on Monday. Wish me luck.

Please be careful in any smoke. We don't need you getting a crash or anything.

Can't wait to hear how your official date goes! And oh, dear~ D: Hopefully, you'll get more hours!

Ew. School. That's way too early to start. DX I return to school on September 5. Where has the summer gone? ;_;

Thanks! I did make it safe and sound to my home though! Smoke has cleared up again, but in certain areas of the city, the smell of it still lingers though.

I can't find a second couple for the date. xp I think I'll just invite him over for anime watching.

I'm a college student.

That's good. It built up down here a bit yesterday, but cleared up today.

Kaya and all of my wonderful Crew Members I just created a brand new Facebook page called "Smithers456 Otaku". Part of what the page is about is promotion of this Guild and a place where it's members can interact. It's also another place to get a hold of me. smile

Please check out my "Hang out with Captain Smithers" thread on the Main Convention Forum of this Guild for more info and a link that takes you to my new page.

So I thought I'd give you guys an update about my relationship.

It's going really well. We had our local Ren Faire this last weekend and hung out together and with his mom (who was selling the jewelry that she makes).

We ended up getting a private demonstration on Viking Warfare. We got to use what we learned on each other and I ended up beating him up.

At the end of it we went back to his mom's booth and he made a comment that he felt that he was dragging me around. I responded that didn't feel like he was. He then turned to his mom, put his arm around me, and said he was keeping me.

After that he turned back and looked at me and asked what my ring size was. I didn't know so he got out his mom's tools and we figured out what I was.I then told him he could propose in February if we still felt the same at that time.

Hi Kaya,

My new Facebook page is growing in leaps and bounds. Since it's associated with this Guild. From time to time I will announce things that are happening on the Guild on my Facebook page, "Smithers456 Otaku" and other times I will post stuff on this Guild that's currently happening or has happened on my Facebook page.

When the third Cosplayer Collage photo is ready to go it will be posted on "Smithers456 Otaku", and since you were the only contestant for the contest this time the Collage Photo is only going to have you on it. smile It will definately be a nice tribute to a very talented Cosplayer. Since the Collage photo will be on a public Facebook page that will make it easy to share with others and enjoy. Just like my Cosplay Photography work everything that I do is free. Having a few people sent to my new page to check it out and "Like" will help me and the Guild. I will let everyone know when the third Collage Photo is published. Btw all of the Gifts from the Guild's 10th Anniversary Celebration are all passed out. What's left is for me to update the "Valuable Item Prize List". The new list will include items that "Dark" recently donated to the Guild. "Dark" is going to be doing his introduction Guild Wide Message on Wed Oct 11th and I'm going to do a special Guild Wide Message on Fri Oct 13th!!

Sorry for the much delayed reply. A lot has happened over the years with me finishing school, graduating, and struggling to find a job in the accounting field. sweatdrop

Anyways, how are things with you? Are things well with your relationship?

That's good to hear!

I have yet to volunteer at a convention. However, I did run my first two panels at last year's Otafest though! (Previously, I had helped a friend to run hers a few years, but last year was the first year that I was in charge of my own panels with some help from friends, who assisted me as the Chocobros. I ran a Q&A panel and trivia panel for Final Fantasy XV as Noctis.)

Hi Onsen, check out the posting contest on the Holiday Party 2019 sub forum. Kaya and I have been having a good time posting on it. Some of the questions are Holiday related and some aren't.
