Anime Conji

[elfgrove]

Ya'll. I am exhausted. I'm working 50+ hour work weeks, and helping staff Anime Conji coming up here shortly. This weekend we had a staff meeting and did inventory on some supplies provided by the Conjecture convention staff. I should never have to make a list of the contents of a box that includes: 5 plastic rats, 15 bouncy ball eyeballs, 1 package of spam, 4 jello molds, 4 bags confetti, 1 rubber heart, 4 rope lights, 1 unused starbucks cup(grande), 2 markers, 19 washers, and a shitload of binder clips. O_o I will be staffing for both the Artist Alley and the Art Show, and I'll be a lead panelist for a Shoujo panel and a Japanese Mythology panel (I expect to be sharing the rough draft outline & power point for the panels Friends-Only on LJ on sometime this week.)

Stress aside, I am excited about it.

Speaking of Anime Conji.

(Also, I just heard this Sunday that we've confirmed our GOHs and hotel for 2011. It's going to be nice. Bigger hotel, another huge VA star GOH, and Steam Powered Giraffe will be our musical GOH.)

P.S. Why are there no cute plushies of Toothless? I want to go watch How To Train Your Dragon again. <3

Hee. We need to kidnap Greg and schedule another time to see it.

Yes. I cannot make this shit up. It's basically a party with a DJ for the underage kiddies since it's the same night as the 21-and-up-only Pirate Rum Party (the Friday night Pirate Rum Party is all ages with no actual rum). The name/theme is (Programming Director)Hector's doing--to my knowledge.

oooh. kaaay. btw, I figured since I have Friday off, I might go check out the con on one of those days depending on which day has the most stuff I wanna see. I'll probably show up in lolita though...
