4/13/06: Not much to report... just saying that I didn't go to Ushicon 5 this year, so that won't get posted. Don't know if I'm going to Akon, but if I do, I'll at least post a report. I feel less and less inclined to take pictures every year. XD But oddly enough, some people seem to like the reports! Oh, you crazy crazy people. ;) And when I have time I'm also going through and fixing the pages so they look good in Firefox as opposed to IE only.
12/19/05: No real update, just saying that I know Ushicon 5 is prereg-only this year. Even if I go, I don't plan to pre-reg. I'd rather save my money, and I can always borrow someone's badge if I desperately need to visit the dealer's room or whatever, but otherwise, for what I spend most of my time at cons doing, I won't need a badge. Thanks, though!
10/31/05: Finally got around to putting up the Akon report and
gallery, as well as the Afest report. I have no pictures from Afest
because I never feel like taking cosplay pictures, and the one reason I
went (to see Maaya Sakamoto) and would have wanted to take photos of,
photography was banned at her events. So, oh well. I don't know if I'll
make it to Ushicon this year (I'll be in Japan right up until that
weekend) but we'll see. It won't much matter to anyone coming to this
site anyway, as I've taken to being horribly late about updating, and
when I do, there aren't many cosplay pictures, if any pictures at all.
As I wrote in my Akon 16 report, cons are losing their allure for me,
and the decreasing number of cosplay pictures is in direct relation to
that. To anyone who cares, sorry!
1/5/05: Put up the Ushicon 4 stuff. Didn't take very many cosplay
pictures, or pictures at all for that matter. The majority of people
who go to cons are really starting to annoy me. Where did all the cool
college people go?
10/13/04: So maybe it was more like 11 days. But now the Afest report is up and everything's done until Ushicon. FINALLY! (No, I'm not going to Oni-con.)
10/4/04: Okay, so I put up the Akon pictures a long time ago (shortly after the con itself, I believe) and never updated this page about it. Probably because I was still waiting to do the con report before I wrote an update about it. As it turns out, the report took me about 3 additional months to finally get up here, and so today I finally got around to it. I also put up the Animefest pictures (took me the longest time to find a color to use as a color scheme. I'm running out of colors!). Con report should be coming soon, but knowing me, it'll be another 3 months.
2/16/04: all the ushicon 3 stuff is up: the photo pages, the con report, and the text links. go forth and enjoy.
9/27/03: have finally finished all the updates. aside from some minor adjustments all around the site, the animefest pictures & report are up, and i also made page lists for all the con pictures. i realized it may be hard to navigate if you're trying to come back to a certain page, so now you can choose which page to start on ^^ i'm also considering making an 'about me' page, updating the links to include other galleries, and replacing the text links with thumbnails. but i dunno about that last one. it'd mean more work, and i'm so very lazy/busy. so we'll see. officially though, i'm done until ushicon 3.
9/5/03: pictures from animefest should up soon, hopefully. delay is because half are on my friend's digital camera, and i do have the other half back from a disposable camera i used the rest of the time, but my scanner hasn't worked since i upgraded to XP. the update will be worth it when it comes though ^_^
7/22/03: woohoo, all the pictures are up! ^_^ now to get to work on the akon 14 stuff >.>
7/21/03: yay, i have a new layout and a new location! today i moved into the new site and began putting all the text and pictures up. i got all the previously completed con reports up (each con has its own color/links scheme! ^.^), and the updates and links pages too. the guestbook and counter have been updated to reflect the new URL as well. i'll get working on moving the pictures as soon as i can. once i do, i can put up a "moved!" notice on the old site. i'm so happy with all of this. thanks again, kain!!! ^_^
6/8/03: i'm about to do a major layout change, so i'm waiting to do the akon 14 update until then.
2/22/03: i see i'm getting a lot of hits from people searching for ushicon 2 stuff, so i put my pics up. the con report is up too. if you got here from a search engine and my site helped you find what you were looking for (ushicon 2/akon 13 pics, whatever) PLEASE sign the guestbook and let me know you came! thanks!! ^_^
12/23/02: i waited to make this update until everything was done. here's what's been completed since the last update: photo pages for ushicon 1, akon 13, and animefest 2002. there are also con reports for animefest 2001, ushicon 1, akon 13, and animefest 2002. i also added a links page. finally, everything is done! until ushicon 2, that is.
10/6/02: i put up two new pages, for photos from akon 12 and animefest 2001. for both you can choose between text links (as i've done in the past; for slow connections) and viewing the photos in tables, which span multiple pages (for fast connections that can load 6-8 images per page) a la fansview. soon i'll make these types of pages for the other cons, but right now you'll just have to wait. i also made a con report for akon 12, which is basically a description of what me and my friends did there and things i noticed about the con, complete with pictures here and there to aid the description. i'll eventually make con reports for all the other cons too, but they are quite time-consuming to make and format, so it'll take a while. anyway, enjoy, and if you haven't already, sign the guestbook to let me know you came!
9/8/02: since animefest is over and i have my pictures back from it, i've updated this site! so there's now an animefest 2002 page with photos on it, please go see it! i also updated the a-kon 13 page with five new photos i got from my friend elsa. also, i finally got a guestbook!! ^_^ dude, guestgear got some awsome personalization options from the last time i used it.. my guestbook should be all pretty now, so please sign it!! ^.^ i also have a tracker so i can track all the referrals i get from search engines and other sources.. mwahahahahaa XD
