We didn't start going to conventions and stuff till we were done with college. We didn't have the time or the money. Don't worry, you'll eventually finish.

But.......the only problem is, its hard to take off work for conventions. At least for me it is. My husband's job is a lot more laid back. I'm a dental hygienist, I have patients scheduled everyday. I just can't call and say I'm not coming in. I have to give a months notice anytime I want to take a day off.

I didn't quite bat a thousand there. While more than sufficiently hot and cute, my wife isn't nearly the raving Otaku that I am, but does have a few things she likes (Sailor Moon, AMG, and DNA^2 for example... though her current favorite is Hare Tokidoki Buta, or at least the dubbed import version of it, "Tokyo Pig") and doesn't mind my heavy interest in it. Unfortunately, cons aren't really her thing, though she did stop by AXNY for an afternoon in her Sailor Moon costume 8)

You sux0r!

My ex-girlfriend was a bigger otaku than me. Watched anime like everyday and she and I even cosplayed as Vaughn and Hitomi from Escaflowne once (awww!). She's still in school working on her degree, but oh well

You apparently forgot 'humble'

It does sound like he's a lucky guy, and a pretty good editor to boot.

Not that I'd trade shoes with him.

I'm kind of lucky, I can't take off on a whim, but as long as I have the vacation days to burn and I give at least a few days notice, I can pretty much take them whenever. Not that it's really possible for me to just decide a few days before a con to go to one...

Hi everyone,

Amazingly I have never found this site in all my years of net surfing and anime browsing... Go figure.

I submitted a vid to Tekkoshocon... "By Myself" set to Trigun and I just wondered what you guys thought of it, if you even remember it, there were so many.

Also congrats to Machine, I loved that vid!!! Especially the use of Come to Daddy, one of my faves. What did you use to do your effects? I assume After Effects.

I believe tho next year if they get a lot of movie trailers they should make a separate category for them, some seemed out of place in their respective categories.

That might be a nice thing to do, as they are sometime hard to categorize. I actually submitted mine under 'Action', but after watching it the contest staff asked my permission to move it to 'comedy/parody', which I had also given serious thought to putting it in under (and it did fairly well in). There would have been enough to have a separate trailer category this year- but that would have left like 2 (3, if Tom's "Liverpool" had been in Comedy/Parody) videos in the Comedy category....

The next video I do will probably be comedy, I was a little surprised at the amount of comedy vids, I thought there would be a couple more than there was.

BTW your vid was unexpectedly hilarious!!! You had my vote instantly. I saw PPgirls and instantly thought crap but you proved me very wrong. That's talent.

Definetly, I need more practice. I work on indy films and even edited one (3d effects and all) and I still have much to learn.

Thanks for the offer but my EXTREMELY SLOW DIALUP makes downloads a living hell for me and the file's provider. Maybe if I drop by my friend's house who has 512kb cable. Thanks anyway!!

Anyone know if they are going to hold the con at a different place next year?? I heard the Hotel management was none too happy with us.

We are a bunch of weirdos in costumes running around acting liek children because we love to...

I bet they got a bunch of complaints about it.

I remember at Ushicon2 here in Austin that a bunch of people were staring at Cosplayers.

Hehe, I remember some people lookin at me and my girlfriend because she was dressed up as a gothic schoolgirl and I had a collar and chain around her neck.....

Good time

Well for some reason they had lots of police (REAL police mind you, not security) there, there were no less than 5 squad cars out front. And I saw them escort someone out of the game room that I had just rode in the elevator with by myself 20 minutes prior.
He said he wanted to seriously tazer his stupid roommate, I smiled politely and gripped the emergency 911 button on my cell.

Good times.... yeah, good times.

Aside from that I had lots of fun and hope to be there next year, new AMV(s) in hand.

This reminds me what happened after the AMV contest was cancelled at AX2002. Tons of cops began arriving and pulled over 10 cars.
