UPDATES

This update took a little longer than I had hoped for, the day I got back from the con, I flew out to Dallas for a week of recording on some fun stuff that I will, hopefully, be able to talk about soon.  I am finally home and the update is done.

Just like last time there were so many great pictures from Anime Detour that I had to use two pages, but it's worth them.  I've also done another update to the Convention schedule with links to Ai-Kon, Sogencon and Sugoicon, all of which are fun shows, that I love very much.  I still have a few cons that have not announced me yet and when they do I will update them.

Up next I am in rehearsals all this week with a school that I am working with.  I am blown away by the amount of talent these young people have.  Then on Friday I am flying out to Sioux Falls SD, for a promo for Sogencon.  I may be back up in Dallas the week after that and then not long before Anime North. So Im going to be pretty busy till the end of the month, and you know I'll be getting pics and posting them.  Until next time... Take care of each other

I'm sorry it has taken me a little longer to get this update done than I was planning to but a few really exciting projects came up work wise that kept me more than a little busy.  On top of recording work I've been working with a school in Houston and am having a great time with some amazingly talented young people.

In terms of the update the pictures are up from Anime Boston, and for the first time in the history of my website, it's a two page update.  I always take a ton of pictures, but this time there were so may fun shots that I couldn't narrow it down to just a page worth.  You can check out those and other cons from this year on my 2010 Convention picture page.  I have also updated the Convention Schedule page with links for Geek-Kon and Realmscon.  I have also updated the Interviews and Links page.  There are a few new things on there including links to a few authors that I really enjoy. (Christopher Moore's site seems to be down right now but as soon as I can link his page I will)

Well I may end up having to update the Mock Combat Galleries sooner than I expected. We have been getting amazing turn outs for both the Beginning and Intermediate workshops at all of the cons that we've been doing them at.

Next stop will be Anime Detour.  This is a show that I love dearly, the attendees and staff are amazing and I am so excited to be coming back for more.  So when I get back from there expect to see another update. Until that time I've got some new projects that I'm working on for both studios and as soon as I can talk about the shows I will, probably both here and on my face book.  Until that time... Enjoy yourselves and... Take care of each other

It has taken me a little longer to do this update than I had intended, but I've been a little busy with a couple of new exciting projects that I will, hopefully, be able to talk about in the near future, and when I can I will post something here for everyone to see.  I had a great time at Kamikazecon this year.  The only problem is that I spend so much time just hanging out and talking to people that I didn't take that many pictures, sorry. I went straight from there up do Dallas to record for a few days, and while there walked into a tree limb that poked me in the eye, it looked pretty bad but is doing fine now.

Well next up is Anime Boston, this is a convention that I love dearly, not only becuse of the attendees but because of it's amazing staff as well.  I will be there this upcoming Fri - Sun so look forward to the pictures once I get back.  Until then ...  Take care of each other

Well as I sit here battling a sinus infection, it's time to get the updates done.  Sorry it's taken a little longer than normal, but my recording schedule has been very hectic the past few weeks.  I was recently at (as you can see from the pictures) Arkansas Anime Festival, and I had an amazing time.  The staff and attendees were so much fun to spend the weekend with.  I've also done a few more updates I've added the picture link for Arkansas and a new convention to my Convention Schedule page.  I also did a minor update to my bio on the Convention Info Page. It now includes my principal role in Halo: Legends. I'm so excited the the show is out and I can finally talk about it.  Keep your eyes on the Convention Schedule page, as there will probably be quite a few updates coming very soon (as soon as those cons announce me) There is already on new announcement there, and that is that I will be attending Anime North this year.  I am very excited about that as well

Next up... I will be in Houston for Kamikaze Con, and am looking forward to doing a con in my home town.  After that I've got a small break before Anime Boston and Anime Detour.  In the down time I am hoping to do some more recording, and I am working with one of my local schools on their show and am very excited to be working with such an amazing group of young people.  Until Next time...

Take care of each other

Wow it's been crazy and busy here.  I have been working in both Dallas and Houston and also hit two cons within the past few weeks.  You can see the pictures from both Katsucon and Naka-kon on my 2010 convention pictures.  It was my first time at both shows, and I had an amazing time and hope to come back real soon.

I've got quite a bit more recording to to, and several conventions coming up.  So I may have to wait a bit before the next update.  I've got both Arkansas Anime Festival coming up and Kamikazecon in the next few weeks, in addition to the recording.  Believe me it's been very slow lately so I am glad for the work. My convention schedule is booking pretty quickly for this year, so if you are with a con that wants me to come out the sooner you book me, the more likely I will be able to confirm.  There are quite a few shows that I have confirmed with who have not announced me as a guest yet, but as soon as they will I will try to update my convention schedule page.

I hope this update finds everyone doing well, and staying warm, and I hope everyone continues to do well. Until next time... Take care of each other.

Hope everyone is having a great time and staying warm.  I just got back from Ohayocon and there is a HUGE picture up date that you can find in the 2010 convention pictures section.  There are also two new additions to my Con Schedule.  I am happy to say that I will be returning to San Japan,  and will be going to the Arkansas Anime Festival for the first time and am looking forward to both of them.

I had an amazing time in Ohio, with some of my old friends and managed to make some new ones, which is always great.  I did manage to get a break in my schedule to the the Jonathan Coulton Concert, and it was fantastic.  I also got to Max and Erma's to get my Chicken Soup.  Ohayocon  is a convention  that I always enjoy going to, and look forward to it every time they invite me.

Coming up next I will be at Katsucon on Valentines Day weekend, and the following weekend I will be at Naka-Kon, it will be my first time at both conventions and I can not wait.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines day and I look forward to updating when I get back.  Until next time... Take care of each other

Happy New Year Everyone!!!  Had an amazing weekend in Austin at Ikkicon, and the pictures are up in the 2010 convention pictures section.  I've also am finally able to say that I will be at Anime Boston this year and you can follow the link to their site on my Con Schedule page.

We had a great time in Austin, with some old friends and made some new ones "The Sippy Cups" had dinner with me on Sat. Night, and that was a blast. I only had one major problem this past weekend. Some friends had given me a new 100oz Sippy Cup to take with me to conventions.  I decided since it was so big that I would only take it to the cons I could drive to, to save luggage space. Well after a weekend of carrying around the monster, I have nearly destroyed my arm, so I will keep the 100oz for drinking here at home and go back to my 64oz for conventions.   I've got a few weeks off and then I will be packing even warmer clothes for my trip back to Ohayocon, which I am looking forward to.

I hope that everyone had a safe holiday celebration and that this new year brings you all much happiness and joy.  Until Next time... Take care of each other.

Well not long before Santa comes for a visit.  I hope the holiday season finds everyone happy and healthy.  It's been a trying year for everyone, and I hope that the coming year brings you all the love, laughter and happiness that you could hope for.

Well, I may not be done with my Christmas Shopping but I've got what is probably the final update for the year done.  As I said I have updated the MOCK COMBAT FOR COSPLAY GALLERY by finishing off Page 11, finishing Page 12, and starting Page 13.  I have also updated the CONVENTION SCHEDULE for next year.  Keep in mind that I do not yet have up all of the bookings so far for the year.  I am still waiting on a few conventions to announce me before I post them here, but my schedule is filling up pretty quickly this year, so if you're a convention looking to have me out, please get in touch as soon as you can. 

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.  Until Next time... Take care of each other

Love and Laughter Always
