| 1:00pm | EOI - Sydney Bloggers Meetup | | | | Source from PixIV Being a blogger for something close to 3 years now I’ve made quite a few friends. Some locally and both internationally. But of course the Internet is just a means for us to communicate with each other and I would certainly like to meet the face behind the blog. Of course I’ve... |
| 12:45pm | Animania Sydney 09 - Sunday Part 2 | | | | Usually on the 2nd day of any convention I’m usually more lazier to take photos. But for some strange reason I happened to have taken more photos than I normally would. I’m not sure why that is the case but I guess it would be the number of quality cosplays compared to previous years. Mind... |
| 2:19pm | Animania Sydney 09 - Sunday Part 1 | | | | With most conventions, there is always a second day. And usually the second day is a pretty relaxing day with a less hectic crowd. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to attend the 2nd day but since I got a free weekend pass, I might as well make the most of it. So this time I went solo, no Roobar or Blox... |
| 1:18pm | Animania Sydney 09 - Saturday Part 3 | | | | One of the main events of any convention is the cosplay competition. It usually draws a pretty big crowd and gets most people excited, though for me I’m sort of getting to the point where the cosplay competition isn’t turning out all that great. Either way I still decided to head in and... |
| 5:02pm | Animania Sydney 09 - Saturday Part 2 | | | | The Saturday at any convention is always the busiest, but that also means the most and some of the best cosplayers. So we continue on with the cosplay coverage in this post and some of my final thoughts for the Saturday. So hit the jump to check out the photos. WARNING: Picture intensive post. |
| 4:01pm | Animania Sydney 09 - Saturday Part 1 | | | | Its been somewhat of a long year for me this year being so busy with so many things but I do make time for this anime hobby of mine. And so with very little sleep in the past few days, I managed to make my way to Animania Sydney 2009, dragging friends Roobar and Blox with me. So hit the jump to check... |
| 12:22pm | Animania Sydney 09 this weekend | | | | With the end of the year approaching rather fast, it’s also time for the last Sydney anime convention for 2009. That’s right, Animania Sydney 2009 is this weekend. This year will be my first time attending since Animania has moved to the Australian Technology Park so I look forward to seeing... |
| 7:29am | Mini’s Dollfie Life part 1: A Fated Encounter | | | | Near the end of my last post, I quipped that there were a few items missing from the photo of stuff I brought back from Japan. I figured it was high time I took a few shots of one of these acquisitions. |
| 5:32am | Happy Birthday My Sweet Erika | | | | When you think about today’s date it’s been about a year since I was on my grand adventure in Japan and how I should be pondering about going back. For me today has a much more significant meaning, although it does relate to Japan in a sense. This day, one year ago, I adopted my sweet princess... |
| 3:09pm | A New Development Path | | | | Sourced from Pixiv As many of you know, I’ve been unemployed now for roughly 2 months now and that I’ve had some pretty trying times in both health and finances. Although I’ve had some doubts of ever finder a job in web development again, my patience has finally paid off and I landed... |
| 1:19pm | Sydney Doll Fair 2009 | | | | Having expanded my hobbies into the asian ball-jointed dolls realm I’ve come to discover that it is only a small portion of a larger picture. ABJD and dollfies are only a sub-section of the doll and bear world, and last week I headed to the Sydney Doll Fair that was held at the Blacktown Leisure... |
| 11:11am | SMASH! 2009 Merchandise | | | | OK so it’s been a while since SMASH! 2009 but recently I’ve been a little pre-occupied with a lot of other things at the moment. Anyway with SMASH! I was sure that I wasn’t going to buy anything given that I had done most of my convention shopping during Supanova a few months ago.... |
| 10:33am | Comiket 76 post-mortem | | | | This one’s for the Tribes fans. I don’t actually get this joke Now that I’ve had a decent rest and recovery from the flight back (cursed travel sickness), I can post a Comiket follow-up. I’ll start off with questions that were submitted in the last post. |
| 3:13pm | Comiket 76 - All days summary | | | | There’s not a lot of pictures to show, mainly because my hands were usually full with bags, but I’ll post some “look how big these crowds are” photos later. |
| 3:45pm | SMASH! 2009 Sunday - Cosplay Competition | | | | Another day at a convention means another cosplay competition to cover. Once again majority of attendees flock to the main stage and I once again station myself in the same spot as I did for Saturday, except this time my legs weren’t dying on me. So hit the jump to check out photos of the cosplay... |
