anime weekend atlanta 2015
Sep. 18th, 2015 12:28 amso in a week I'll be at the Waverly/CGCC in the middle of Anime Weekend Atlanta! As I have done around this time of year for the past....21 years. Yeah. That's a long time. Can't stop to think about it. Just keep moving.
Thursday night is the SuperHappyFunSell, the yard sale garage sale swap meet thing we've been doing for a few years now. It's starting earlier and ending earlier and I'm not scheduled for anything else that night, which is a pleasant change.
Friday Darius roped me into a "Year One" panel where we'll talk about AWA's first year and how it went. He's got a lot of video footage and I have some photos and it ought to be a fun trip down memory lane.
Friday night at 10 it's time for Anime Hell! Preceded by Totally Lame Anime, followed by Midnight Madness!
Saturday Matt and CB and I are going to be taking everyone back in time to the 90s when we put together a series of "documentaries" about how Americans were dubbing anime badly. We were outraged way out of proportion, it seems.
Saturday night I'll be at the Mixer - we did it last year and it went really well so we're doing it again, an over-21 cash bar social time for the grownups to chat like grownups.
And Sunday it's time for Class of '85, a frank discussion of what the anime fandom scene was like 30 (!!) years back. We're old.
It occurs to me now that with the exception of Anime Hell, most of my events are "what it was like in the old daze" events. At one point I swore off doing these kinds of things, but now it seems it's my fate.
BTW if you feel so inclined, you can get onto your computer and visit Crunchyroll and check out their live stream from AWA - I'll be on it Saturday at 12:30 and 4:30, talking about Anime Hell and Class Of '85!
I still have lots of things to do to get ready for the show, though most of the heavy lifting is done. As always I'm looking forward to the show, but I'll be glad when it's over and I can get back to drawing. Shain got me a pen-tablet for my birthday that I haven't even used yet!
