ANYC Saturday.

I was near the front of the line for the CatChu meet and greet, so Yabu-chan saw me when she walked out, and she seemed so happy when she did. And she seemed so excited when it was my turn to meet her 🥹. She liked my guitar prop and we compared hair buns lol. Meet all three of the CatChu seiyuu was a magical experience, they really do shine in an amazing way.

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

I'll post more from my last couple cons eventually, but in the meantime:

Hanayo T pose

(There's someone with a cardboard cutout if Hanayo T-posing, I'll catch em at a con with it one of these days.)

Id0l Jam is happening in September in Somerville!  

After there was some issue with the venue for the summer, Metam0re is now hosting Autumn Id0l Jam on September 29 at Arts at the Armory in Somerville. A day of Idol Showcases, singing, cosplay, and other idol and anime related stuff. (And now conveniently located in my city, no more needing to take the commuter rail  .)

More info, and applications for performances and for vending space (I think they're especially looking for more artists to vend, anyone who's got some nerdy stuff to sell): https://autumnid0ljam.carrd.co/

One day, two cosplays.

Was quite fun switching out between two very different outfits (and genders  ).

Happy birthday to Yohane! My favorite character ever, and one of my greatest comforts. Her character theme of finding and embracing one's true self became a core theme of Aqours (find our own shine), and is one I hold near and dear. And it was by cosplaying her that I've grown as a person, made so many friends, and had so many wonderful experiences. She really is my greatest inspiration and my idol! 🤍😈

My big Yohane day celebrations: Making chocolate strawberries (her two favorite foods!) for my Yohane plushies, gathered under my Yohane wall with my wings.  And gathering up (some of...) my merch for a shrine celebration  .
