“Super Best Friends Forever”: hilarious new show?

Good grief, where the heck have I been that I haven’t seen this? Oh, yeah, I keep forgetting to watch TV lately, so things like this “Super Best Friends Forever” thing goes on the air behind my back. It’s a conspiracy, I tells ya! Continue reading ““Super Best Friends Forever”: hilarious new show?”

Some video silliness at Katsucon 2012

In an earlier post I showed some pictures I took of some kids cosplaying as characters from the videogame Final Fantasy (I have no idea who the characters are, but that’s not important!).  Here is a video with clips I took while I was taking stills (it really helps to have a DSLR that can do video!) and some music to highlight the silliness.  We all had fun and I hope to see them again at a future anime con!

More Katsucon 2012 cosplayers

Here are some more of the cosplayers I took pictures of at Katsucon 2012 a couple of weeks ago. Some of them didn’t turn out so well, and for that I apologize to anyone that I didn’t capture nicely enough, or if I made your excellent costuming come out looking not as good. Everyone’s creativity and skill was definitely fantastic (in more ways than one ^_^) and I hope you all get to see these!

Thanks to all who allowed me to photograph them, and I hope to see you at the next con!

Katsucon end of con photo shoot

My friend John Nelson let me tag along on his photo shoot with a group of nice kids he’d met at other conventions, and so I snapped a few shots at the same time.  Here are a few of the best, I’ll be posting some videos to YouTube later, along with other pictures from Katsucon.

What do you do when you have an unexpected singing partner?

Josh Williams was performing the Bluegrass song “Mordecai” when a little bird decided to land on his guitar! It’s not clear if the bird actually sang along, it might be he just wanted to get closer so he could hear better, or maybe he had a backstage pass and got ahead of himself! At any rate, Williams kept his cool and continued the song to the end, except he couldn’t play his guitar! Check the excitement around 1:45 in the video!

Babies make fun of Daddy’s sneeze

Example #4,215 of “things you should be careful doing or saying around babies.”

I have this funny feeling Mommy and Daddy haven’t heard the last of this from their little mimics, especially with Mommy laughing at them…

UPDATE: looks like they took down their video, I guess they either got too many people watching, or they just didn’t want to show it anymore. Anyway, the video has been removed.

Happy Nyan Year!

Hope your New Year is a great one, and to start off on a happy note:

AnimeUSA 2011 Last day pics

Pictures from the third and last day of AnimeUSA 2011. Kind of a shame, there has been an anime convention in Crystal City since at least 1997, and this will be the last one for the foreseeable future. I went to my first one, Katsucon 4 I think it was, in 1998, and had only missed a couple there after that. Ah, well, the price of growth, they just got too big to be handled in the Hyatt. I don’t think they’ll have as much problem next year, since it looked like this year’s attendance was down. Not as much disposable income lately…
