Today is my birthday! I’m 23 today. (I share my birthday with Neil Sedaka and William H. Macy!) I’m not entirely sure what I’ll be doing tonight, but I will be seeing some friends, and then my mom and sister are coming to dote on me tomorrow. ^_^
Some convention things to mention!
Penguicon
I’m 99% sure I’m going to Penguicon! I’ve been talking to their very awesome webcomic programming head, and I’ll probably be serving up a Photoshop panel, and join in on some of the other webcomic programming. (Anyone want to split a hotel room?) I almost went last year, so I’m really excited to get up there this time around.
ConnectiCon
TOMORROW is the last day you’ll be able to pre-register for $35! On Sunday, the price goes up ten dollars, so if you haven’t registered for CTCon yet, do so as soon as possible. I promise, as a general attendee of Connecticon for the past two years, it is well worth it.
AnimePunch!
Time to plug my home convention again. AnimePunch is here in Columbus, and is notable for being an anime-only, college-aged convention with hours upon hours of academic programming, as well as epically awesome events. For instance, there will be Legends of the Hidden-fricking-Temple.
Preregistration is only $25, but it closes on March 27th! Can’t beat that price with a stick.
Last month, I learned that completely disrupting my continuity was all I needed to do to get attention. I also learned that fanservicey voting incentives get me a shit-ton of votes! :D
In that spirit, to start off strong in the month of May, today’s voting incentive is Geilen as an Orion Slave Girl. Something quick and dirty (hurr hurr) I whipped up earlier this week especially for this.

Today kicks off the first day of Penguicon! I’ve also added two more possible conventions to my schedule for this year: Toonfest in Marceline, Missouri, which is a one-day event in Walt Disney’s childhood home; and the National Caricature Network’s annual convention, which is surprisingly close, just up in Sandusky, Ohio. I found out a lot about both of these cons from the cartoonists at the Toon Award last weekend, so I hope I can make it to them to do more networking. ^_^
Have a great weekend!
