Black Tie Beach ’12

Well, that was fun. To bad my ride down was kind of a pain in the ass. It started off with taking my first bus down a little later then I wanted to but I figured it would be fine, I shouldn’t be all that late. Luckily things were going rather smoothly until some point on the green line I had to hop off at the Hawthorne/Lennox station where I had to take a shuttle bus to the station I was aiming for, then from there hop on my last bus down. Took a little while for it to get to Hermosa Beach but sadly I ended up jumping off to a little to early and was in Manhattan Beach, uhh. At least another came by soon after, picked me up and finally I got there. Found a nice little group of people and hung for like 3 hours. Felt so good to be there and it was nice to get my feet in the cool water in comparison to how hot it’s been everywhere around here for the past 2 weeks.

And it’s also a nice excuse to dress up

Nisei Festival ’12

So I friend of mine was telling me about this earlier in the week and invited me to join in so I figured why not. So the whole deal of the event is about Japanese Americans and how they are a part of our culture and to celebrate it. It started off with me meeting with some people at this one little staged area during a cosplay competition in which the winner and other favorites won some kind of figurine. so then it was wondering around some more, taking more photos and mainly talking to other people there. And finally the parade. It was rather short and I hung with this one group and took some photos of them as the walked the route. It was strange because I’m a little more used to being in a parade on my rollerblades and taking photos from there, because i’m baller like that. I guess it’s because I didn’t expect that to happen, oh well.

Let the festival commence

SlutWalk LA ’12

Story time. So day started off with me, of course heading over to the event. Got off of the subway, walked down the street, late, and didn’t really notice anyone where I thought they would be at all. Turns out during the day they moved it again. Lame. So I saw some people also heading down with a sign whom I also remember seeing last year when we were in West Hollywood and they told me it was just a little further down the street at this studio right next to the Chick-Fil-A I was at the other day. So everyone was hanging just in the parking lot or inside where there was a guy giving a self-defense demo and soon after we started the walk.

So the walk, we started on Sunset and Highland, walked to La Brea, then up to Hollywood back to Highland and back to where we started. Awesome. People making all kinds of chants, me saying a few strange, yet funny things. Maybe the highlight of that was the little girls along Hollywood also repeating some of the chants. See what we do to todays kids? we corrupt them. So we get back, hang in the parking lot some more and inside was two bands playing. They were alright, but not really to my interest. But over all, it was all good.

I’m a slut, so what

Chick-Fil-A Kiss In

Alright, so I headed down to Hollywood to get some photos of the kiss in that was scheduled to 5, and I got there about 10 minutes before seeing people with their signs. I hung around, talked to people and it seems they where there for a while. One person told me people started showing up after 1 in the afternoon. A couple of debates on the issue started but over all most people were cool. Also some of the employees came out at least once that I know of an offered water to the people out side, nice little jester to show they themselves mean well. But I also heard some guy walked by and either attacked someone or spit on them, not sure which. And I heard some fundies went to the northridge restaurant, I guess they knew to avoid me. Anywho, more photos can be found here.

This should happen more

Comic Con ’12

Alright so here is what happened. My sister was down in san diego for the con with her kid and on one of the days she wanted to go as the female trainer on Pokemon Black and White and all that was left she needed was the hat. It was suppose to be in the mail by tuesday but ended up coming in on friday, after they left. So I picked it up and headed down on saturday, met with them, gave up the hat and decided to hang around outside and take photos for sure knowing I would get some good stuff outside still. Didn’t take long for someone to be highly awesome and give me their pass that was good for the rest of the con. So I went in, and started taking a bunch of photos of what I thought were good costumes and trolled the protesters outside some. Then before the day ended I got some video of something very strange, which will be coming soon to watch out and took a few more photos and took off for the night. Also I walked by Ron Jeremy, didn’t really care to ask for a photo, he looked like he just wanted to take off.

The next day which was sadly also the last day I decided to go a little crazier getting more photos and find some people I knew that would of been there. I ended up finding the Newgrounds/Behemoth booth, found tom and talked to him shortly. I also found the i-mockery booth and talked to -rog- shortly and told him about something I’ve noticed was people hand out cards to each other all the time but rarely goto each others sites (I can be guilty of them myself). This problem needs to be fixed, more so on my end because I can use more people coming here. Anywho, went around, got some more photos, just before the exhibit hall closed I took off for home.

Oh, also I meet, Rich Arons, who has done some work on some of the cartoons I loved as a kid like Tiny Toons and Animaniacs and has a book out, Turbie the Turtle Duck, Check it out. Also I met one of the guys that did some work on Batman Beyond and Justice League who also works on a web series League of STEAM. I love shaking the hands of these people that have given us awesome stuff.

Interesting weekend that started off as a delivery.

Anime Expo ’12 – Day 4 – Final

They are all now online… yes! so many of them, holy crap. Now day 4 wasn’t exactly very eventful, I walked around taking more photos and a little video (which is coming, not a lot but I have some. just hope tape didn’t warp anywhere), and because there were a lot less people there I didn’t get as many photos but of what I did they came out nicely. Also something I need to do is once again figure out a new gallery system, all this manual stuff is a pain in the ass so I need to pull something off.

And now we have it, final day, see you next year.

Anime Expo ’12 – Day 3

The day started off with something really strange happening. as I was walking by the blue line station I hear some guy screaming out “stop!” and I see him grab some guy saying he is making a citizens arrest and calling for the guards at the station to do something about him. I have no idea what happened, figured it was because he might of hit the guy or told something from him and just got on his bike and rode off. So the first guy is yelling out “I don’t feel safe in this area anymore.” “lets all break the law, we should give him a medal.” Turns out it was because the guy was riding his bike on the platform. Yes it is recommended not to do that but most people don’t really care anyways that I’ve found.

Much more hanging around, taking photos, and later that day a friend of mine with me find herself a bit of a stalker, he was walking around her for a while taking photos from different angles so we called one of the staff guys to help us out to cover her and get the guy kicked out if we catch him doing it again with her or anyone else. So remember everyone, AX staff are also there to keep us safe. and later that night there was a rumor a girl was kidnapped but it turned up she went home without telling her friends so all was fine.

so much more crazy.

Anime Expo ’12 – Day 0 + 1

So, yes, I was at the convention center some today while also helping a couple of my friends try to figure out the metro rail system for Anime Expo starting tomorrow. Now if you are wondering about the Day 0 deal, it’s the day before the main events starts but people can still come over to pick up their passes so they don’t have to wait in line in the morning as it is warming up. Also by the convention center they are building up for some kind of X-Games event going on. I don’t know, maybe I’ll get more info on that later.

UPDATE WITH DAY 1:

I should get back to sleep soon, got to wake somewhat early. Anywho, got there, got my pass, walked around, took more photos and a bit of video and saw something new that I’m never seen or actually noticed before at Anime Expo. Religious protesters. I’ve seen them at Comic Con when I was there awhile back and they were few. Here there was a bunch of them. Is your life so lame that you actually have to keep track of coming events into the area just to hold your dumbs signs you pull out for every parade that takes place?

Also I was I was planing on taking the this one train back to my place because I wanted to be home at a specific time. Because why not? so as I’m about to hop on the blue line some jerk decides he wants to see if his corpse can stop a train. Well it did and caused delays causing me to miss the train I wanted so I hung for awhile longer and got home later on. Was all good still.

Let see what else comes

Gettipede ’12

Alright so here is how it went down. When I got to the getty I looked around for anyone I might now who would be there and right before I got on the tram up the hill I spotted someone. It made me happy. Got up the hill to look around some more and found 4 more people including the person that was starting the line. So after a little while the leader of the gettipede went back down to the hill waited and then hopped back on the tram again to start it up where everyone was in waiting to follow along and take part.

Many people at the museum looked at this without a clue what was going. I even one women saying to her kid “Sweetie, get out of the way of the interpretative dance.” Classic.

So, can you walk the line?
