I killed a man.
\nBut seriously it was nice. I already talked about it in IRC so here’s what I said.
\n<JeffreyAtW> fuck
\n<brewk> oh yeah?
\n<JeffreyAtW> I mean, I am back from Fanime \ud83d\ude42
\n<Noser> Jeff: how’s things
\n<JeffreyAtW> I spoke at the webcomics panel
\n<IanJ> FANIME
\n<Noser> was it scary?
\n<JeffreyAtW> No
\n<IanJ> you spoke?
\n<IanJ> about CAR?
\n<JeffreyAtW> I spoke about webcomics in general
\n<Noser> what were you doing on the panel
\n<JeffreyAtW> Well, the panel was comprised of some guy who makes “Neko Machi” and some girl who makes this keenspace comic
\n<Noser> ah
\n<JeffreyAtW> And so they were like uh, “anyone else make a comic?”
\n<JeffreyAtW> And I had a freaky lot to say so I’m like “what the hell”
\n<JeffreyAtW> so it was me, those two, and this guy dressed as a red mage who makes a keenspace sprite comic
\n<Noser> so was the talk well-received?
\n<JeffreyAtW> I really was the only one who said anything worthwhile
\n<JeffreyAtW> Yes it was, people really enjoyed it
\n<Noser> did the others THINK they said worthwhile things?
\n<Noser> or was it unanimous?
\n<Sketchee> Did keenspace get a surge of new joins now
\n<JeffreyAtW> I dunno, they really didn’t say too much outside of what their comic was about
\n<JeffreyAtW> I talked about different media in webcomics, backlogs, Blank Label, Keentoons…
\n<JeffreyAtW> Uh, hmm
\n<Noser> did you mention any of us?
\n<JeffreyAtW> Swearing in comics, subject matter (lowbrow\/highbrow humor)
\n<Noser> did you plug FINT?
\n<JeffreyAtW> I mentioned RPG World a few times as an example of what happens when you’re not having fun making your comic \ud83d\ude42
\n<JeffreyAtW> Although in good spirits.
\n<IanJ> haha
\n<IanJ> \ud83d\ude00
\n<JeffreyAtW> But I talked about having fun as the #1 thing for webcomics
\n<JeffreyAtW> If you’re not having fun, don’t do it
\n<JeffreyAtW> We also talked about syndication
\n<JeffreyAtW> Talked about Scott Kurtz and his plan, and Tatsuya Ishida
\n<Noser> plan?
\n<JeffreyAtW> Giving PvP to papers for free
\n<JeffreyAtW> Talked about Keenspot in papers… talked about people making new groups like BoC and Blank Label
\n<Noser> Boc?
\n<JeffreyAtW> bagofchips
\n<Noser> did the other panelists get into what you were saying?
\n<JeffreyAtW> Also, I got drunk off some vodka and made fun of a lot of people
\n<JeffreyAtW> Noser: yes
\n<Noser> was the vodka during or after the panel?
\n<JeffreyAtW> They agreed, they didn’t have too much to add, but it was cool
\n<JeffreyAtW> it was the night before.
\n<Noser> ah.
\n<JeffreyAtW> I didn’t have a hangover but I was really bitter anyway.
\n<Sketchee> Did you plug your comic
\n<JeffreyAtW> We all mentioned our comics.
\n<JeffreyAtW> someone in the audience used to read Let’s Dancing.
\n<Noser> wow
\n<Noser> Any other con highlights to talk aboot?
\n<PFunk> Someone read Let’s Dancing?
\n<Sketchee> I thought I was the only one
\n<JeffreyAtW> Hmm… I tried going to the Yaoi showing
\n<JeffreyAtW> but instead they had some yaoi-themed game show
\n<Noser> huh?
\n<JeffreyAtW> I wanted to watch Boku no Sexual Harassment \ud83d\ude41
\n<Noser> why was the yaoi show canned?
\n<PFunk> Good taste?
\n<Noser> and why did you want to go?
\n<JeffreyAtW> It wasn’t, it was just delayed for 3 hours
\n<PFunk> That’s the better question, Noser.
\n<JeffreyAtW> I wanted to go cuz I had nothing else do to and all my other friends decided to go
\n<JeffreyAtW> The hentai room was right next to it so I checked that out too
\n<JeffreyAtW> Uncle-Niece sex abound!
\n<Sketchee> Suuure
\n<Noser> were there any hot or hilarious cosplayers?
\n<JeffreyAtW> Hmm I didn’t go to the Cosplay show this year
\n<Sketchee> Did you take pictures
\n<JeffreyAtW> Also didn’t take any pictures of cosplayers
\n<JeffreyAtW> But hmm…
\n<JeffreyAtW> Nothing TOO amazing… there was no King of Cosmos
\n<JeffreyAtW> I really should have done that…
\n<JeffreyAtW> There was another transformer
\n<JeffreyAtW> whose costume comes off and turns into a car \ud83d\ude2e
\n<JeffreyAtW> Some guy in this armored lizardman costume with a wagging tail and everything, pretty neat
\n<Noser> lizardmen wag?
\n<Sketchee> Was there anyone there we know? Like a special guest of the con or something
\n<JeffreyAtW> Well their tails move
\n<Sketchee> A Japanese person
\n<DubDrawing> What con was this Jeff?
\n<JeffreyAtW> Fanime @ San Jose
\n<JeffreyAtW> they had shitty IIDX controllers in the console gaming room, so I replaced them with my own
\n<JeffreyAtW> oh and there was this big Fanime rave dance thing
\n<JeffreyAtW> and they were playing Paul Oakenfold and the StarFox techno remix
\n<JeffreyAtW> \ud83d\ude41
\nHmm… additionally, stayed in a hotel room with Sophie James Colin Carlin Elliott Geoff Paolo, brought my PS2 and played a bunch of SNES emulation, played DDR drunk (yes I got tipsy, not a first, fyi), ate at cool restaurants (check jeffreyatw_food<\/a> soon), and promised to kill anyone wearing a hug me sign… and okay, I didn’t. There’s always next year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
