Holy Hotness

I previously wrote about how I had to stand in line for over an hour. This was to register for a local huge anime convention. There was one girl I could not stop staring at. I tried to be subtle about it. But damn.

The first thing I saw was a lot of cleavage on display. This seemed weird. Because this girl was skinny. I guess her push up bra helped out a lot. However she already had a lot to work with upstairs.

After spending about an hour in line, I finally realized something else about this girl I was staring at. She was wearing some sheer skirt. Underneath she had a thong on. And it was on full display. Oh mamma.

I could not really tell if this chicka was alone or with a guy. Some dudes in frnot and behind her chatted her up from time to time. But I don't think they were with her. Woo hoo. Luckily I am attached and was with my missus in the line. Otherwise meow.

The Year of Soul Eater

I attended one day of the local anime convention. The thing was huge. I was lucky to get a parking spot in the garage. Registration was hellacious. The line to register wrapped around and round.

I did see some peeps I knew in line. Also checked out some pretty hot costumes. However one thing was clear from the beginning. Everyone wanted to dress up as Soul Eater characters.

Now I am not a Soul Eater fan. Not yet at least. But I could appreciate the intricate costumes everyone was wearing. On a different note, the best thing about the conference was listening to the voice actors speak. Good stuff.

Mega Man Appears

The Anthrocon 2009 fursuit parade went by us fast. But I got a whole lot of pictures to show for it. I was particularly pleased to get a shot of Mega Man there. You may recall he helped me find my way to the Anthrocon Registration.

Sure this guy is a wolf. But look at those colors. Definitely Mega Man style. And if you saw the whole picture (it was way too big to display here), you would see that this furry guy had the arm and leg armor of Mega Man.

Wherever you are Wolf Mega Man, thank you for your support at Anthrocon. Here is the funny thing. Mega Man never said a word to me. He just used his mad pantomime skills to direct me to the registration line. I like a con where the people and furries are friendly right off the get go.

Creator of Wubbzy

Do you remember when I blogged about Bob Boyle, creator of the Wubbzy animated series? Well here is a picture of him giving me his autograph. I was surprised at the low turnout at the talk he gave. Bob was, after all, one of the three guests at the Anthrocon 2009 conference.

Bob shared some of his personal experiences with us in a candid way. He said he initially wanted to be a football player. However due to size limitations, he needed to find a different career. Bob said that success did not come easy for him. After moving to both New York and LA to make a career, he ended up being a bellhop. Ouch.

Luckily perseverance paid off for Bob. He has a lot of successful experiences under his belt. Initially I only knew of his Wubbzy creation. If you ever get the chance to hear Bob talk, I recommend it highly. He is funny. And even the story of how Wubbzy got to the screen is a complicated affair.

Caracature by Choe

Previously I had written about how I purchased a caricature of me at the Art Show. Well I finally got the Anthrocon pictures from my camera to my computer. Here is Choe talking to me while she drew a cat version of me. I asked her whether I needed to look at her while she did this. She hesitated a bit, and replied, "Well yes."

I tried my best to keep a straight face and look straight ahead. It was tough. I wanted to see how the cat caricature was turning out. Then came the tough question. The artist asked me how I wanted the body. I was not sure what that meant. I asked whether I could be some type of muscular dude. In retrospect that did not align with the cat. Choe said she could give me a cute body. I agreed with that choice.

At first I discovered this booth when somebody else was getting a caricature drawn. The sign was catchy. You lay down $5 and get a custom drawing of yourself as a furry. That's just good business. I will scan in my own caricature later and post it here.

Rules for Writing Fiction

The final session from Anthrocon 2009 that I attended today was Rules For Writing Good Furry Fiction. It was presented by Terry Wessner, who was the published and editor of "Fang, Claw, and Steel". You may recall that long running zine about lycanthropes.

This was a knock out session for writing fiction. The session ran way over time. But most of us stayed the whole time. I knew this was going to be a great session when a bunch of us were waiting outside the room prior to the session starting. At the start time, we busted into the room and disrupted the prior session that was trying to run overtime. I bet they were like, "WTF?"

Now I know I cannot go over all that I learned from Terry today. I took feverish notes the whole time. There were handouts provided at the end. But I had more than my share of notes from the session. Terry shared the secret of writing good fiction. For that you will have to consult my future blog posts on All Things Blogger.
