Alrighty folks.
Those of you going to Nekocon - I will run a poker tournament or two Saturday after dinner. The bonus? Since standard time takes effect, we will have an extra hour of play! For those of us who do not do masquerade, there will be some form of cash game, followed up with poker till dawn. Or however late we care to go.
All levels of players are welcome - as some of you know I am perfectly happy to teach as well as play, and my games tend to be fun for newbies as well as experienced players.
If you’re interested, chime in!

Humm..
Alright, I’m thinking about doing Anime USA as a day trip, or a Saturday/Sunday trip. This is mostly because its in the Crystal City this time, which makes it doable via Amtrak/Metro.
Sooooooo - who is going? If I go to AUSA, I’m seriously thinking about hosting a social / poker party / orgy Saturday night.

ALRIGHT!
Those of you going to New York Anime Festival this coming December (And I know there are some of you) — ping me if you are looking for rooming arrangements. I am looking to set up some rooms since I will also be there for at least one or two of the operation days.
The room rates at the sponsored hotels are pretty expensive. I’ve found a few tiny places that are offering up more reasonable rates (160/170 a night). I’ll share the links for those who are interested.
I am even considering securing a short term lease on a 3 bedroom loft apartment in Chelsea. For me to make this work, I need to know who would want to stay there, how many people, and what you’re willing to pay. No, this isn’t going to be “it’ll cost this much”, it’ll be “how much are you willing to shell out for two nights in Midtown?” — If I have enough people interested, I’ll look at the short term lease. (assuming I can get it.)
Oh, needless to say, serious committed people only — I can’t afford to provide free crash space and if I front the cash to lease an apartment I damn well need money up front..

If I do manage this, expect a party of some sort on Saturday.
PING ME! NOW! XD

So, I sent out some notes to industry members about Otakon 2008. Mostly along the lines of “Hey… Good morning, hope you’ve gotten some sleep, by the way you coming next year?” sort of stuff.
Next year’s Otakon will be our 15th year, my 10th year on staff, and my last year acting in a pre-con planning role. So, needless to say I want something huge. HUGE. I want to bring the fucking ROOF down. (Um.. not literally.)
Oh, and hotels are now available. Get em while they’re hot.

These goofballs were at Otakon 2007. Needless to say the Mountain Dew folks in the game room took pictures and their contact information. Who wins in the fight, Alcohol or Caffeine? I’m rooting for the Caffeine frankly!

So I should be sleeping, but instead I’m sitting here in Photoshop, doing some tweaking. This was a quickie shoot with flash - so I went in and tweaked it here and there. Since I already did it, I figured I’d post it. 
Another cosplay shot from 2007.
