Upcoming things

http://kotaku.com/5258881/a-truly-creepy-silent-hill-nurse-cosplay

That's Judy the Booty's work, which apparently has been making the round at several gaming blogs over the weekend. Kotaku's the only one that matter though, so props to Judy to getting stuff posted there. Hopefully she's still be able to shoot me and TEE! sometime during the convention year now that she's hit the big time, lol.


Anywho I'd weekend recap, but since of home internet faggotry and time restraints (more on that in a later post) I'd gage some responses on potential plans this week/weekend:

Wenesday night- Dave and Buster's is hosting the New York Comic Con Happy Hour from 5:30-7:30. I'll be there.

Thursday night is NA, which should be a given at this point.

This weekends plans are
-Celebrate Xais' bday/MANarchy with Terminator: Salavation somewhere in NYC/Brooklyn.
-Celebrate Sara's bday if she's around. How does dinner and kareoke sound Rararararara?
-Hit up Vic's should a BBQ happen.
-Probably build shit.

A city trip is a must at some point on Saturday or Sunday, as Katsu wants to hang with us, and we need some cosplay shit, specifically fur and boots for Squenix/TTGL things. If people want to hang out, post something here, and we'll try to formulate a plan over the next couple of days.

Shameless plug

My friend Judy's Silent Hill shoot was featured on Kotaku:

White Wedding part 2

You nervous?
Big day coming up, you nervous?
Last day as a single man, you nervous?

Redundant question is redundant.

I'm a bundle of emotions. I was on the phone with someone last night and some variation of "CHris=nervous" was asked, followed by the person saying "Oh wait, you're CHris Troy doesnt do nervous, dumb question."

Flash Fact: CHris Troy does do nervous. CHris Troy does a wide range of emotions. He's good at hiding them, but he does them regardless.

Several things still concern me, ranging from the ceremony, to the honeymoon to the future. They worry me because I can control them, and I have no choice but to roll the dice and see how they land.

But you know what?
In the end it will all be worth it.

I've done pretty good for myself during the 26 years I've roamed the planet. I have a sweet pad, a decent paying job, a awesome group of friends and love ones, and in a few days, I'll be marrying the sweetest girl on the planet. Given some of the alternatives, or after seeing how some people are living their lives, I have little to complain about.

TLDR: No time for pussies. Time to stand tall, rock the heavens, and get me a wifey.

Wedding prelude part 1

PSN handle: TheAnarCHris

Setting that thing up was a bigger bitch that it should have been, especially with constant system updates and manual hard-drive installations. Hell of weak if you ask me.

Anywho, this will be part 1 of a 2 part entry, explaining what's going on with LOL wedding week.

I'll be effectively AFK/most internets starting Friday, as the whole lot of us are treking down to PPB that afternoon for Wedding rehearsal things. Saturday of course is said wedding, and Sunday we're flying out of JFK to Jacksonville, to leave on our cruise Monday afternoon. I'm expecting I'll probably put my phone on while we're in Jacksonville, only to check mail and tweet.

TEE! and I return to solid land May 2nd, and should be back in NYC by 3pm that day. Will hit up a comic shop for Free Comic Goodies. As for that Sunday, aka, the Sakura Matsuri, TEE! and I will swing by the BBG providing the weather's good and we're not swamped with apartment crap.

As for the rest of May, things should be back to usual on the weekends. Aside from adjusting to marriage life and getting new furniture, we're planning to:
-go fabric shopping the 9th/10th
- Celebrate Jae and Krys' respected b-day events. Sararararara's too, should she have one/we make one for her an SQUISH!
-Head down to PPB one day.
-Possible Rock Band party.
- Something something work on cosplay things.

June is...well I'll wait until that gets closer to plan properly.
