Convention - Animeland Makiba

A little more than a week ago was Animeland Makiba, a small-ish anime convention local to Las Vegas. It was held at Palace Station on Labor Day weekend and I had an artist alley table there.



Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures of the con. I missed most of Friday because I couldn't get the day off, and was supposed to leave early but couldn't because of an emergency. I was there all of Saturday, but pulled out Sunday morning.

I busted my knee BEFORE the dance on Saturday night. I was so fucking mad because I missed Jinnai's DJ set. :( I was so upset because I had to be babied for almost 3 hours because I couldn't walk on my own. My knee just slid out of place and I fell faster than a sack of potatoes.

I want to thank Ray, Brandon and Treiz for bringing me a bandage, ice and water, helping me limp to and fro, and for staying with while I cried and said "fuck" a lot.


I had a lot of fun at the con. I met up with a few friends I hadn't seen in a very long time, and got to talk to some folks I've seen at other cons but never had a real chance to sit down and talk to. I met lots of cool people. There was a cute auction thing that quickly got silly. And I listened a bit to Midnight Shinigami - kick ass cover band - between drinks at the bar before the dance.

I met up with Jin (Katsuhiko Jinnai), who also DJ's and was a doll helping me watch the table and keeping me entertained  during slow times. I also met up briefly with Mark and Johnny, who host Video Game Masters on Youtube and reviewed the con. (Thanks for the plug in the video guys!)

I had a great time. I definitely want to attend again, and volunteer if they'll have me!
