I'm not dead yet.

Sorry for the lul in posting, you see, finally got one of those job things, and I'm VERY tired.  Don't worry though, I'm slowly working on the rest of everything I have to do.  I also have a hatred for Tweeting, so I'll try to thow in some content... *snoore...

AWA XVI Day 1: Sweet Sweet Sixteen

Here I sit, hoping the majority of you have recovered from your weekend.  If you ask me 'what weekend' I'll slap you.  Anime Weekend Atlanta celebrated it's 'Sweet Sixteen', and how sweet it was.  I have to admit, not only was it sweet, but it was BUSY.  So busy that I hope you forgive me for letting this AWA review week start a little into the week.

AWA Day 0: Every day is a day to do a good deed.

Ok, while technically not part of the convention's festivities, the Thursday of Anime Weekend Atlanta's erm... weekend is dedicated to waiting in a long line and picking up your badge and bag of goodies. The AWA staff does this due to one major problem, one I shall explain through a complex series of visual aids known as photographs.

Building a House

For this one your going to need a little backstory. When I went to college, I originally was into Architecture (or Archi-torture if you will), and lasted over a year in the program.  I eventually dropped out, but over that year I spent a good deal of money on things architect students use on a regular basis.  Things like Exacto-Knifes, Foam-board and Chip-board, as well as a good bit of sketch paper, drawing paper, and what-not.

One year wasn't nearly enough to dwindle any of my supplies, so as I packed up, I had two great big bags of model-materials stashed away in the garage for years.  Some things translate easy to general arts, so the pens, pencils, coloring supplies I still use and sit in my over-sized Godot mug.  The other, much larger materials sat and sat and sat.

Until one day, I decided to build a house- no, a CHURCH! yes yes folk, think back, long long ago when you actually watched or read Trigun, Nicholas D. Wolfwood had more tools in his arsenal than just the (Cross)-Punisher,  pair of nickel plated handguns, and motorcycle with passenger pod.  No he also has the infamous Portable Confessional! How do you make money as a wandering priest?! You charge pocket-change to wear a church-shaped box and confess to the only priest around!

ZomboCon or how I survived the zombie apocalypse

By 'except for that' I mean post pictures.  That's right, today will be completely picture-free!  Not that any of us should be excited because of it.  But there are two events this month that should be cause for excitement!  One is AWA, or Anime Weekend Atlanta, which I've already expressed some excitement for.  The other is an event that feels a month ahead of it's time known as ZWA!

The Dog Days of Summer

Well it all began with this blog to be honest.  You see, I've been looking for work since spring and have found very little.  So to pass the time between the rare job offers, I've been going through my old photos.  Well I did that in about a week, started up this blog, then kept digging.

That summer that was... last summer

The biggest single event that encouraged me to do a photo-blog was in the summer of 2009.  I was between cons and eager for activity.  Then I get a notice from the Peach State Cosplayers that they were heading to my side of town to the Historic Roswell Mill.  It was something to do, and I had a nice camera just gathering dust.  So I put on the old standby (suit and cross) and grabbed my camera and made it out there in time for some fun.

So whats the plan?

It's simple, post some con-pics!  I'm That Wolfwood Guy, Nicholas D. Wolfwood cosplayer, amateur costume & prop maker, and amateur photographer.  That makes me an amateur at a lot of things people do for conventions.  I've been going to conventions like Anime Weekend Atlanta and Momocon for the past couple of years and every year that I do not cosplay or forget my camera, I kick myself.  There are great memories to be made each and every day at conventions, there are people to meet, merchandise to buy, and pictures to take.

Well, I've decided to stop being greedy and start sharing my collection of convention pictures.

Coming Soon
