So since my last post, which apparently was in Februray (egad!), I've done a few cons and a couple of faires (most of the photos, of which, still need to be edited). 

Anyway, here's a few pictures from Wizard World L.A. and Anime Expo. Still working on the Comic-Con photos.

Wizard World L.A.

Anime Expo

For my birthday last month, Brandon and I went to Vasquez Rocks (where Captain Kirk fought the Gorn in the original series).

Since neither of us have Star Trek props or costumes, we made due with a Wolverine claw I made for Halloween and my old Xena chakram.

Even though Comic-Con was practically 2 months ago, I still like to look back on it and sigh with a fondness equal to longing for a love who's gone away to war or something cheesy romantic like that. 

I miss you, Comic-Con. I shall return to you soon, dearest, and what hell there should be for the man who tries to wrest me from your softness once more. 

OK, OK. I know. It's just a convention, but it's oh-so-much more. It leaves you gasping in pleasure, praying to the ceiling for more and it delivers. 

Details in my LiveJournal, but in the meantime... PICTURES! 

^ Masi Oka with Tim Kring representing "Heroes" at the TV Guide panel.

^ Neil Gaiman at the panel spotlight on him. The night prior, I was sitting not 4 feet away from him at the "Stardust" screening. I got to ask him a question and was given a signed poster. Nearly swooned thinking about it just now.

So while this is rather late, July was an AMAZING month for me. It not only was Comic-Con down in San Diego, but Anime Expo (in Long Beach), the Labyrinth Masquerade (in Hollywood), and I saw Weird Al Yankovic perform his Straight Outta Lynwood tour at the Orange County Fair.

Since I'm still in the process of editing all of the photos, here's a taste of Anime Expo at least. I volunteered to work this year, so I didn't have to spend much on food or anything really (since AX feeds its workers).

I got to see the Death Note movies, the special Tekkonkinkreet screening, I saw Gackt's new band S.K.I.N. perform in the LB Arena and went to a few cosplay meet-ups.

Updates for the other events to come. ^_~

Time was I would post EVERYTHING in my LiveJournal, but lately I've just not been in the mood to throw together an update. Oh well.

The last couple times at faire were pretty sweet, but I neglected to take many pictures.

I had finally met Sound & Fury's new "third guy" Vinny, a couple weeks back. While Phil, the previous "third guy," was really funny, Vinny's really personable. You just want to put him in your pocket and take him home with you. ^_^

So a few pics:  

Tappy, the bodhran player from Poxy Boggards.  

Shelby! 

Richard and Shelby telling a story together for their improv show.

Brandon and I also went to Metal Jam 2007 in Huntington Beach. Lots of positive energy and great noise to head bang to.
