The Next One......featuring Adam Park

At least I get to go to Wisconsin.

This weekend will be No Brand Convention in Eau Claire, WI. I'm mostly going because their biggest guest is a man near and dear to my heart....Mr. Johnny Yong Bosch (AKA Adam Park, the Black Ranger......oh yeah and a lot of voices for insignificant anime characters like Vash the Stampede and Kurosaki Ichigo). Being the fan of Power Rangers that I was in my youth (high school is still youth!), I knew I HAD to be there for this one. And then, I fortuitously managed to get myself a BECK record square signed by ALL the cast except Johnny Yong Bosch (he plays Saku, the drummer)....so now I will ask him to sign it, and the collection will be complete! And it will go back to looking gloriously down at the living room.

No Brand, from what I hear, is kind of a chilled out kinda con. Which will be good after the chaos of Detour, but a little weird in that I'm a bit worried about finding stuff to do. Which I don't think should be the case at an anime convention. At least not if you're someone like me. But we shall see......

Cosplay will be fun though. I'm going as Tezuka "Hot Guy" Kunimitsu (you know him, you love him):and Mayama will be Inui "Rec Specs" Sadaharu (only the non-uniform version. The version where he's helping coach the team):Our newest AMV will debut at No Brand as well, so we'll be able to upload it and post it here as soon as the con is over. Start getting excited now!!!!!


In other news, I've been working on getting some of the things that are on my list (displayed to the right on the main page), but I haven't had time to watch them because I've been getting ready for the con. Hopefully I'll be able to talk about them soon. It's come to my attention that a lot of the things on this list were Geneon titles.....which are now freaking hard to get for less than 60 dollars a pop. We're working on what we can.....Netflix will have to help with the rest. Thus far I've acquired Martian Successor Nadesico (discs 1 and 2), Daphne in the Brilliant Blue (disc 1), and The Legend of Black Heaven (complete). We also picked up the new Makoto Shinkai release 5 Centimeters per Second. I'm a big fan of Beyond the Clouds and Voices of a Distant Star, so I think this will also be good. I'm looking forward to ALL of those things. And to Code Geass starting on AdultSwim next weekend!!! Yay for taping stuff!!!

With that....I shall go to bed. And think about stuff I've forgotten to pack and need to remember tomorrow, and likely some form of a coming apocalypse.....since that's what I seem to do lately.
