Okay. So Dragon*Con room arrangements look good. Somehow I'd gotten the impression a couple more people had planned to crash in my room, which would've been problematic. Mostly the same crew as last year, with an upgrade to include Enju/My Chair-i-cuffs protege/the King of Denmark/resident Heino-expert/Russell. Same rules/warnings/blah-blah-blah as last year are going to carry over.

( Honestly, you guys already know this stuff. )

I'm in the final steps of working on Dragon*Con cosplays. I have got to procrastinate less next year.

Psst. Cosplayers. Does anyone have a blonde wavy/curly wig around shoulder length or a little longer that they be willing to sell me? I can pick one up easy enough, but if anyone has one they'd like to sell for cheaper than I can get it new, I'd rather do that.

Anyhoo. In other convention news.

I'm going to BotCon 2011! ♥ Going just to chill with Silas and his buddies and to help man his art table so he can attend panels.

Anime Conji has officially signed the venue contract for 2011. We'll be in the Town & Country on March 25-27th. I am officially the head of the Artist Alley for 2011, and will be assisting the Exhibitor's Hall head. With day and venue locked in, we'll probably be measuring spaces and calculating table numbers in the next two meetings. xaynie they definitely want you to do an EGL panel for 2011, and as a panelist, you'll get a free con badge.
Our maid cafe is apparently having teh dramaz with some attendees/rivals/etc, and I don't even want to know. A lot of he-said, she-said. The maids are not being the most professional about certain things, so I am disappoint. Ah well, mostly ignorable. It's a small group of people that keep complaining to Con Chair Hector. His problem, not mine. I think it's probably just brats fighting via tattling, but I also think Hector's being too soft about the maids.

I've not had any drawing time lately, which sucks since I do have some Avatar Korra sketches I wanted to scan & color, and I wanted to participate in Zutara week, which is now over. That also means I haven't drawn Project Cosplay chibis or gotten around to starting our website for that yet. :(

There's been some dramas on the home front. The landlord is planning to sell, which meant I half-killed myself on chemicals doing some cleaning the last two weeks, and had the panic attacks and super stress as work is deadline~y crazy lately and Ms. Landlord kept changing the dates that she and an inspector were to be coming through. By the by, inspector still hasn't. D:
Regardless, I'll likely be moving here in the next 2-3 months. I've lived in the same place since coming out West so it's about time, but the timing of winter holidays just kind of sucks and I hate that I'm being pushed into it.

Sorry I haven't updated today.
San Diego County is still burning. Obviously.

No work again today. Rancho Bernardo is still officially evac'd. It looks like they may re-open RB, but we'v been told it looks like a war zone up there. So even when they open it to residents, I'm not sure when people who work there will be allowed back. Word from the Noon press conference is, RB still has leaking gas lines and dangerous and downed power lines, trees in the road, and sporadic spot fires.

A few areas are starting allow residents back in as of Noon today, but officials are saying it'll be 24 hours before any new areas will allow residents to return.

I called work this morning on the security line and got a human being. I don't know what that means. I think we can't leave the compound un-maned just because we are a secure facility, but I guess that means work is still standing. I now have my time reporting code and a BAE Hotline to call from time to time in order to see if I should try to go in. It's supposed to update at 3pm PST, but based on the news, situation won't have changed from the 9am update.

Hrmmm. Ah well I s'ppose that's that.

Some places appear to be getting better, some worse. Ramona is apparently about t run out of water and the fire is heading back that way. The two fires up directly North of me, the Witch Fire and the one hat started on the Palomar(?) Indian Reservation are moving towards each other and will combine in a valley up there somewhere before the day's over.

There are now an estimated 500,000 people who have been evacuated from their homes in San Diego County. That's 10 times the number of people in the Cedar Fire of 2003.
