So, it was fairly common knowledge from the start that this would be the final Anime USA in the Hyatt Regency. Personally, I couldn’t be happier. It’s very well documented that I just don’t like the Hyatt very much, so[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’m especially proud of this one. The decision to make a running gag out of The Doctor was VERY last minute, but I think it turned out very well! Speaking of turned out well, the Digimon panel was AWESOME. Me[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

It doesn’t matter how big the rooms are at this point. There’s simply too many people coming to Otakon at this point for this NOT to happen. In fact, it’s something of a miracle that I I only got turned[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The really sad thing is, I DIDN’T manage to get cartoons done for every panel I attended. I wanted to do one on the excellent “Voice Actor Story Time” panel (one of the best things all weekend) but I was[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
