Animazement, part the first

Posted on May 24, 2002 by Kevin Sonney

Stuffs I found at the Con :
– The Gunbuster Soundtrack Vol 1
– A Gunbuster Action figure (of the mech himself, with accessories)
– The Bebop Movie on DVD
– The first Area88 DVD (finally)
– That Kimagure Orange Road has a DVD box set, it released today, but the *ONLY* copy at the con is not for sale. I got this form the publisher at his table. They had it shipped out special for the con. However, that means it’ll be at a local store soon.
– The Cowboy Bebop PSX game

There was one outstanding costume pair – a guy did Auron and his GF did Yuna from FFX, and they were really well done. Renee is inspired to try for a costume for next year, but we’re such perfectionists, we’ll either do it right, or not at all. As in, at least place in the contest. If I’m gonna wear a costume, I’m going to win a prize, dammit.

And for mine, I’m gonna have to loose some weight *sigh*

Jacob was a hit with all the vendors, and I finally met Phil Lee in the flesh. Saw the Coup table, bought the t-shirt, and all-in-all had a good time. Renee is much relaxed, since she got out and had fun, and I had Jacob strapped to my chest most of the time.

Now, to go watch some anime… *grin*

About Kevin Sonney

Kevin Sonney - who, contrary to popular opinion was NOT raised by wolves - grew up in central North Carolina. He fell into the technology field by accident in 1991, when he gave up the wild and crazy lifestyle of an on-air AM radio DJ to become a mundane technical support monkey. The technology industry has never really recovered from this. Kevin has worked for such names as IBM, Red Hat, webslingerZ, and Lulu Technologies (we won't mention the ones that didn't survive the experience). He currently works as a Linux Administrator for Apptio. In his spare time he rescues stray animals and plays video games with his two sons. His wife, we're sad to say, helps him get past the really hard bits. Kevin is still not very mundane, he just got better at hiding it.
