Getting to the end of Industrial Smash - kind of a shame that there wasn't such a big turnout this year, the setting had a lot of story potential and even now I'm not sure where it could've gone.
Hopefully they'll be hosting another visit to 'ol Foggy McFogerson (you'll have to tune in to the OACCC to understand the joke, sorry folks)
Speaking of the OACCC, go check them out. They're a setup really similiar to the Samurai Deulers League but a little more free form as to who can enter, although they lack the distinct look and theme of the SDL. You gotta trade one aspect for the other, most times - they each have a lot going for them, but I highly encourage joining if you're looking into comic book art as a career, or even fiction writing. The art deuls and tournaments that these dA organizations hold really go a long way in developing their members' skills as artists and as storytellers; there's always a pressure to grow and "train" your skills.

On another note, hopin to make it to Kimuricon with and
Thinkin' KH2 Squall - they've already got a theme going, I'd hate to shake things up needlessly. This'll be my first cosplay. Lucky I've got a couple of veterans to teach me con etiquette.

More goodbyes - the PetSmart grooming academy has only a week or so together before dispersing back to our individual stores. I've really come to love these guys. It's like being in highschool all over again, except you're always on lunch break. XD
The bittersweet days of spring.

Anyway, go outside.
It's a beautiful day.
Buy your Grandma some flowers.
Have a picnic.


Crazy kids.
