In a week, doing both AnimeNYC and PopCult, in spite of those being in two different cities  Hooray for Greyhound. (If Amtrak ran at more times, in particular more late night/early morning routes, or if there was a high speed rail option, I'd do that... But nope, a bus it is  .)

Hoping to meet CatChu on Saturday of ANYC. (Really, just going to CatChu events is my main priority there. It's do all the CatChu things, and bounce when there's no more Cats to Chu.)

And performing in the Idol Showcase on Sunday of PopCult with Sora Idols as Guilty Kiss  Gonna be hype!

I'm doing this for Flame Con on Sunday. (I also decided this yesterday #ConCrunch  ).

(Flame Con does ban gun props in general, but I have an absolutely hilarious water gun to take pictures with at home.)

I am looking forward to checking out Flame Con, it sounds like a very comfy and inclusive place.  One thing I like about cons in general is that they can often provide a safe space for people to comfortably be themselves. A con which puts that goal front and center seems like a great idea

Lineup for Anime Central! Time for multiple costumes each day  

Excited to do little devil Hanayo, putting her together has been fun. 😈 (Me: I wanna put some effort into a non-Yohane cosplay. Also me: Does the little devil set.)

The Maki shrine. It looks a bit weird on camera, but I love the reddish LED glow on everything.

Happy birthday to Maki Nishikino, the best tomato, the o.g. redhead piano girl, and my favorite member of µ's!!!  

Maki singing Aishiteru Banzai (and then making cute noises when caught by Honoka  ) was what got me hooked on Love Live in the beginning, so thanks for a fun decade Maki!  

My favorite of her solo songs, 秘密と花園 (from the Guided Fate Paradox Character Song Album) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUFcK1JBf-Q
Does a great job of showing off the beauty of Pile's voice.

And another song, P.S.ありがとう by Pile, her song dedicated to Maki - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFUnnVyQRHg
