-- Not going to Comic-Con this year. Thus ends the 6 year streak. ;_; God, that con is expensive. Gonna go to San Francisco with my bro instead... gonna go watch a Wanda Sykes show and wander about.

-- Went to AX on Thursday. Haven't been to AX for three years? Maybe four? I forget. It was pretty nice. I like actually having room to walk around, and the booths were spaced pretty far apart.

Had lunch with greenapple2004  Hadn't seen you in forever! So glad we could hang out for a bit. ^_^

The Exhibit Hall isn't all that exciting after you've been to Japan. Also now I know for sure that a lot of vendors mark up the prices.

Bought some stuff at the carpediemstore.com booth. Got a medium Wacom Intuos4 for $295+tax. Still a good deal. Check Amazon... I speak truths. Also bought some Copic markers for 3.50 each. Seems pricey, but those fuckers are usually $5-ish. Also some .03 pencil lead (score!), and then I bought one of those Copic marker wallets.

Aritst Alley was more interesting. Ran into pinkchan  when she was signing in that morning for AA. We chatted it up, and then I looked behind us and it Emily Warren and Christina Strain so I said sup. Ah they're such good colorists ;_;

Bought some prints from bluef0x  and might've gotten some Pinkberry stickiness on her America!gloves during the brofist. Sorry dude. :T Got a couple more things from other tables and I didn't take note of who they were because I am dumb and now I dunno if they have sites I can stalk.

And I am a weirdo and didn't take any pics except for the parking garage (I might need those as reference pics ok) and the fucking awesome building for the Los Angeles HIgh School of Performing Arts. Those kids are lucky bastards.

Also, I remembered how much I hate driving in L.A. and its goddamn unprotected left turns. But I didn't have to get on the 405 at all this time, which kinda but not really made up for it.
