Confession: I was late to Opening Ceremonies, so I have no idea if the first ten minutes or so provided a context for all the Shrekery. It’d still have been a REALLY weird running gag, though. I mean, if this[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s interesting that I enjoy MAGFest’s “Opening Ceremonies” (quotations because they didn’t even call it that this year) as much as I do. Usually, I prefer an actual EVENT (like the ever more elaborate stage shows Anime USA kicks off[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I always say this, but I still like that AUSA bothers to make Opening Ceremonies into an actual event, skits and all. So, I haven’t gone back to check, but I think this is the first Conventional Wisdom to feature[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Well, enough complaining about the other convention, let’s start rehashing the “I’m really tired” joke! …’cos yeah, this is pretty much how all of Friday went for me. But then again, Opening Ceremonies DID seem a little short, even when[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Oh MAN this page was a headache. In fact, it’s one of the reasons this update was so late. I knew I needed to do something that touched on the numerous instances where I needed to be five places at[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Katsucon seems to be going the Anime USA route of making a big event out of Opening Ceremonies, and I totally approve of that idea. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I enjoy it when the kick-off is a big deal. And[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
