Whoo boy, was day 3 of Katsucon ever a wild day! Started off with a whole 3 hours sleep, because there was an 8 AM panel that I definitely wanted to see, followed by picking up my Art Auction winnings, and finishing the day with cosplay photos, photos, and more photos!

Katsucon 2013: Day 2
Well, Saturday at Katsucon came and went quickly, it was a cloudy, cold, windy day and I didn’t get a lot of photography done (mostly crowd shots, to get a feel for how busy and fun the con was) but I managed to get some pictures of great cosplayers with really neat costumes!

Katsucon 2013: more to come…
Wow, another year, another Katsucon! I’m remiss in updating the site, but I promise I’ll get everyone’s picture up that I promised, it’s just going to take me a couple of days (I think the pictures will be better when I’m conscious!) but here’s one from Sunday that I had to post, because it pretty much sums up this year’s Katsu:
Katsucon 2013: Day 1 (cont.)
Some more pictures from Friday, the first full day of Katsucon. Some are kind of cleaned up, some are still not, but I’m getting there!

Katsucon 2013: day 1 – so many cosplayers!
I want to show all of the pictures I took of all the fantastic cosplayers, but there are soooo many, and I am soooo tired…
Here are some, just to whet your appetite, I’ll be cleaning up and reorganizing these and all the others (ALL the others!) as soon as I catch up on sleep.
Enjoy!

Some good people need some help…
I’m a big fan of web comics, and one of the best I’ve read is “Errant Story” by Michael Poe. He and his wife have been doing this for ten years, he does the art and she handles the business, but they’ve been having a pretty terrible time this past 3 years. Medical emergencies, surgeries, deaths in the family, all piling on each other sometimes simultaneously. Poe’s wife (her nickname is “Impy”) posted a timeline of what they’ve been dealing with.
Amazingly, they’ve been able to keep a sense of humor in the face of their troubles, but they could use some financial help with Poe’s latest hospitalization (acute renal failure from an infection). Instead of asking for donations, which would hurt his chances of getting insurance, his wife asks that people buy things from their online store. A lot of what he created goes beyond “risque” and heads into the “scatalogical” area, but if you don’t mind that, they’re selling his comics in book form, as well as t-shirts and other goods.
I bought a copy of this print, which is a character from “Errant Story.” He’s also selling the original artwork pages (on paper with ink! of all things!) from his comic, but I can’t afford to go $80+ per page, much as I’d like to. If anyone reading this (all two of you!) can help, they could sure use it, and buying their stuff is the best way to help.
Some slight site mods…
You may or may not have noticed, but I’ve been adding banner pictures from my Nerdtour 2012 in Japan, just for variety. Each time you load the page, there’s a different picture (usually!) and more will be coming. Just a little something to break the monotony! I’ll likely be adding the originals sometime soon, as well!
“Paperman”…
If you haven’t seen this new Disney short film, you need to stop reading now and click on the play button!
