You're Doing it Wrong: True Tales of Cosplay Masquerade Survival.

The Cosplay Masquerade. A staple of the anime convention, an event which is probably the most popular and guaranteed to ALWAYS run smoothly. Well maybe not THAT smoothly.

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

White Wedding part 2

2009-04-23T12:53:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-21T10:55:00.000-07:00

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.

Ye Olde Introduction Post(e?)

2008-12-09T16:42:00.001-08:00

"It's best to start at the beginning." Lord know where that quote originates from, as the cluttered mass that is my brain is filled with all sorts of random quotes, memories, and images, but it helps set the mood. After all, this is the intro post, the post that explains the point of this blog. Sorta. Kinda. Maybe?

So my name is Chris and I'm a card-carrying nerd (with a Final Fantasy VIII wallet, mind you!) and this hunk of text will be my blog. This will be different from my Livejournal, for those who will dare to read both, as I will not bother you with the details of my life here (most of the time). Instead I will bitch about all sorts of pop-culture things that interest me, in hopes this blog will someday score me a free-lancing gig writing about comics, anime or video games or some such nonsense that pleases my inner-child. Hopefully, this will serve as proof that I can form sentences and amuse people with words.

I figured I start the actually blog next entry, so to kill the time between now and then, have some random facts about me, the guy who is writing what you are currently reading!
-I've previous written for Latest Issue Entertainment (www.lietv.com) as well as DVD Vision Japan (www.dvdvisionjapan.com), mostly about video games, and received absolutely no bank from either site, as they folded under their own stupidity. Hell, I'm not sure if either site is actually up and running, and anything I've written is even still posted there.
- Cosplay has gotten my mug posted on more websites and magazines more than anything I've ever written has. Sad but true. For a cheap laugh, hit up Cosplay.com and look for Starwind824. That's me with the day-glo hair and the unnaturally large wooden weapon. The tall one.
-AnarCHris is not some sort of political statement, LudaCHris was taken on X-box live, and I'm a Penny Arcade (www.penny-arcade.com) fan, so this tag is a hybrid of fandom and...my name, I guess. But it sounds cool to me, so that's all that matters.
-I've had a comic book in development FOREVER, but me and the art-monkey who's slated to draw it are SUPER lazy, so who knows when it will actually see the light of day. I've promised myself by the time I hit 30, if nothing of " Project:SCIENCE!" (that's the codename, not the actual title) doesn't see the light of day, I'm just going to fill Marvel's submission box with pitches I have for a Spider-Man/Deadpool mini-series.
-Looked up those sites I've written for several years ago!
http://www.lietv.com/Archives.htm
Nothing I've written is up there, which is fine, as it seems they've started interviewing porn stars, and I can't compete with Ron Jeremy. Interpret in any way you deem fit.
http://www.dvdvisionjapan.com/reviews5.html
All of the games I've written about are still up and running here. Those tag lines are not my fault though, and I believe were written several years AFTER the articles were first published.
The more you know right?
