Another convention? Dat's right!
I'm gearing up for Sakura Con this weekend.
I do not enjoy attending anime conventions anymore...I think I'm either too old and fat or I just don't LOVE anime as much as the typical convention goer. Probably both.
However, I do enjoy working with the fine folks at FUNimation and helping out at their booth. Lots of fun, great company with terrific employees, and some pretty cool perks. If you will be at Sakura Con this weekend, come by the FUNimation booth and say "HI SAILOR TWEEK!"

I had also planned to spend the afternoons and evenings of the convention on my own promoting RTX. Gus had sent me some tshirts and flyers...but I still can't find the package. Fed Ex swears it was delivered...and I believe them...but this package is nowhere to be found. That's my chore today: BOX HUNTING.

I know that this isn't my fault...but I can't help but feel like the missing package is my fault and this will reflect negatively on me somehow. Silly, I know...but I really wanted to go the extra mile for RTX and now I can't.

This weekend most likely will not produce awesome "I ran my ass 8 blocks in the rain for Edward James Olmos and now he follows me on Twitter" stories, but I hope to have some fun photos and buy some more wigs! BECAUSE I TOTALLY NEED MORE WIGS...and theatrical contact lenses.

Which reminds me: be on the look out for a post in the near future where I need to sell off some costume things that I don't wear anymore...like wigs.

Sakura Con is full of lovable weirdos that I don't get to hang out with very often. I will have a blast getting get my drink on with people dressed like ninjas, maids, furries, bronies and pegasisters, and the occasional Disney Princess. ..but, I won't lie...I'd much rather be out there on the East Coast PAXing it up with you guys.

I will be wandering around Sakura Con at some point saying outloud to no one in particular "You know what this convention is missing? Rob Paulsen's Yakko and John DiMaggio's Paul Lynde impression..."

To make this journal a little more relevant to your interest:
I'm going to buy the shit out of these:




Have you seen the wonderful new items at the Rooster Teeth Store?
You should be saying "Yes, Mary. We're not a week and a half behind on Rooster Teeth news like you are" BUTTONS! Great Gustavo, buttons are back!

I know I say this all the time...but it bears Cinnamon, Nooooooo! repeating: BRING BACK DOC'S CHARACTER SHIRT, PLEASE. You know what would be SUPER COOL? Take the Doc kill count shirt and print O'Malley's name and kill count on the the inside of the shirt... REVERSIBLE SHIRT.

Also: Barbara announced 2 new RT Community contests! A scavenger hunt AND a song writing contest! Get over to her journal entry for details! Go forth and make music ... and find shit!

Speaking of contests: The Random Crack Comedic Red Vs Blue Pairing Contest is under way over at the Rooster Teeth Community Content of the Week!
I am not sure if they are taking late entries (go on over and ask...tell them I sent you...and apologize on my behalf for not being around as much as I should)
Can you believe our little group is now 888 members strong? I'm so happy! You guys are the best!

A real post is coming...I swear...something that has a little more Rooster Teeth substance

It is nice to see a traditional SailorTweek journal. I have missed these past few days.

Yeah, I'm right there with you. I don't really enjoy anime cons anymore, either. I mean, I never went for panels or anything, I pretty much just go to cons to costume. Anime cons definitely seen lean more towards a teenage crowd, and I'm quickly becoming a crotchety old man.

"Damn you kids, keep it down, stop screaming in the hallways, quit running around, I swear I deck the next person that tries to 'glomp' me, I am not kidding I worked my ass of on this costume and if you break, well, I will be very upset. There might be tears."

Have a good time at Sakura Con! There better be a surplus of Naturo cosplayers with a convention name like that

FUNimation... oh man, I'm seriously jealous. If you get a chance to score any neat Noir, Gunslinger Girl, or Last Exile themed items, feel free to snag them for me, I'll reimburse no problem. I wish I lived closer to Seattle!!!
