Fastbilly changes shirts faster than nobody's business

Sold the shirt off my back three times that weekend - first time its been more than once.

(P.S.-The Mrs. loves the tea set

Glad she likes it. We sold all we took but one, which is a good thing since if we did not sell enough the two people that flew in would have had a devil of a time getting home.

[the7k]

Oh yeah, here's what I bought while I was there. Not much, but better than going home empty handed.

Finally got a Yoko statue for a decent price. Been looking for a Yoko for a long while, so that's one off my To-Get List.

VHS tapes! Yes, even my anime is retro. All this stuff reminds me of when I was in Middle & High School, so I had to get it. Only one I've actually seen before is Kotetsu, the rest I just remember seeing ads for in magazines like Gamer's Republic and the promos that came with what I did watch back in the day.

I am kicking myself for missing Luke and 7k by five minutes...but I made bank in the dealers room.

I did run into Majors once, but he was, as expected, not terribly sober.

Yup, it sucked that we couldn't all meet up, but the bottom line counts and it's great to hear you had a successful weekend.

Majors is great. Knowingly or not, he ended up in a lot of the pictures we took.

For those who were wondering, here's my take of swag for the weekend as well as my finally fully modded Dreamcast stick:

IM000115 (Medium).JPG (77.72 KiB) Viewed 727 times

IM000116 (Medium).JPG (76.5 KiB) Viewed 728 times

IM000117 (Medium).JPG (44.74 KiB) Viewed 728 times

Not a whole lot this year, but I was a bit strapped for cash and didn't have much to work with after buying the necessary gifts and souvenirs for those who wanted them.

I will actually be making a dedicated effort to develop the pictures I took this year. There's a great little film scanner at a local pawn shop and all my pharmacies still do 1-hour photo so once I get the negatives we'll all see how it came out!

I didn't think there were any people who still took film pictures. Good for you though.

Look at this crazy cat Japanator caught in the background! (P.S.-The Mrs. loves the tea set )

So who is this crazy cat? Is that fastbilly?

Yeah, when I bring my 'good camera', it's a film camera that I got for my photo classes in college. Gotta tripod for it and everything. It's a pain in the ass to lug around, but the pictures last forever - well, maybe not forever, but longer than the con itself does, I guess.

Oh nice, you hit up my friends booth for the vhs tapes. Ill have to tell you about what I had to do to help him out moving that crap out when the dealers room closed on sunday, but im writing that in my blog now.

Oh hey, weres that pic that Nick took of us on the corner of Martin and Blount street? Oh yea, once there is video evidence on Youtube of the panel I ran on sunday, ill make sure to post it here.

This year DrCirno once again played the one and only "Party Pirate" which is near legendary with some of the older congoers and was wasted to a completely new level.

Such as Mr. Animazement (Jermaine, tall drunk black dude w/ the title belt). Marvel player from the days of the fish bowl.

Wait wasnt that the guy in the MvC3 tourny in the black shirt and the arcade stick with the title belt? He seemed pretty cool, even though he talked alot. I seriously thought I was going to play him in that.

Oh yea, heres my Animazement review/report, which about part of it is Modman and I and some of our charades. http://animeofyesteryear.blogspot.com/2011/06/aoy-special-animazement-2011-report.html

Aw man, so there was an MvC3 tournament? Drat. Double Drat.

Not like I would have won, but I wanted to see where I'd place.
