Did the long wait, at Requiem Cafe, for the Mob Psycho 100 VAs. More I waited with my eldest who wanted to go. I wanted a tasty drink. Anyways, almost 4 hours but we made it, got the tasty drink while she met most the VAs. The youngest loves the hangout tree house.
Had a customer ask if I play guitar pointing at my tattoo of Reg Smithies’ (of the chameleons) guitar. I said I’ve only dabbled & explained the story behind the ink. He then went on to tell me all the bands his played with, & I got to tell him how I’ve seen most of them, if not multiple times now.
Hanging in Huntington Beach for the day, with all the Disney goths who also like daytrips to the ocean. My favorite day of summer.
The great Round 1 haul of July 2026, and I think I only spent maybe half of what I usually do. Win win. Not a win in the customer service department. Several instances of being straight up ignored at the empty prize counter when I just wanted to ask about one of the big prizes.
This has to be the best photo op I’ve ever seen, and it was free!
Until I get home and have the time to upload more. #DeliciousinDungeonLA
Share one of your all-time favorite actors Sir Gary Oldman
Zelda needs to know if I’m done deep cleaning the bathroom yet, because she needs cuddles and everyone else is busy with Deltarune & Roblox. (While typing this she made the most disapproving growl/trill I’ve ever heard come out of something so cute)
First time at the Regal Edwards Canyon Country theater, it’s clean, folks are friendly, but these dolphins are a choice for a theater nestled into dry desert hills not especially close to the ocean.
Met Paul Williams today. An absolute living legend. Had him sign my @zachbellissimo.bsky.social print for Phantom of the Paradise and he wrote out some lyrics for a future Kermit tattoo for me. By far one of the sweetest humans I’ve met at a convention.
I’m off today so I wanted to do something crafty. With my hands! I finally got around to altering my 3XL Cybertronic Spree shirt I bought a few years back down to a L. Sorry to any 3XL fans out there that missed out on this final shirt of this design, I needed it.
Happy Birthday to the one and only Siouxsie Sioux. Still can’t believe how close (in the yellow circled area) we got to the stage and how big the crowd actually was at Cruel World’s rescheduled set in 2023. I hope she will come out to LA again someday. I’d love to see her in a non festival setting.
L: Zelda R: Link and Zelda, about to drop their debut album.
I love when all my orders arrive all at once, like a mini gift giving season to myself. My copy of @aaronalexovich.bsky.social latest graphic novel Shock City Punks and the preorder exclusive Invader Zim 25th anniversary poster along with @suedehq.bsky.social RSD Coming Up at the BBC.
I stopped being a paid member of women in animation a few years ago, working nights kept me from really utilizing what they offered. I still get the email until unsubscribing today. Why the fuck are they running a series of lectures on using ai?! Absolute unacceptable grifter shit.
Any Aquabats fans out there that haven’t had a chance to see their tribute to The Cure? Well @batsday.bsky.social has put together a show with both Sweet & Tender Hooligans and The Aquabats on May 2nd. I’ve been wanting to see this set for years. livemu.sc/4bU7jF8
Last month I went to Bobarbear specifically for their Mothra mug, which was sold out along with most of their menu offerings. Then a 2nd trip after a phone call saying she was back in stock, we got there and found out they restocked Godzilla only but we could preorder Mothra. Today she made it home!
What the heck, just show me when I can see my beloved Wachowski’s film in IMAX
The gashapon gods smiled upon me today. Got Unico on my first try, and then the Katamari machine dropped two capsules instead of one.
Diving into my long box of comics to look thru my Sam Kieth collection. I knew I had the full run of the Maxx, but didn’t realize how great of condition they still are being 30+ years old. I didn’t get them at release but found them in back issues at my local comic shop in AK during the late 90’s.
I’m happier news. I went to the Knights of Guinevere panel at Nucleus Gallery. I’m looking forward to what the crew has cooked up for the series. Tons of beautiful art on display by some of the most talented folks in animation. Go check it out while it’s up.
I have a modest collection of statues, these are my Sam Kieth representation. I love his visions so much. Damn, I hate being sad.
It’s 92°f outside, walked to get the kid from school, got home and couldn’t get inside without answering 3 riddles from this massive beast!
Nine Inch Nails round 2! Still an amazing production for this tour, I can’t believe I got to see it twice. All signs are pointing to a concert film in the works. Yes, I’m Afraid of Americans made me cry again, but I wasn’t out right sobbing this time, being prepared for Bowie vocals helped a bit.
Turned my peeled poster design into a silkscreen, @theworkingdead.bsky.social needed a shirt for the NIN concert tomorrow. Tried using bleach but it didn’t seem to take, so white ink it is. (I’m not giving up on a bleached version, but time is ticking away)
Fucking amazing experience! You still have a chance if you act quickly and can get to LA. No photos/videos inside the exhibit, which is understandable. They really out did themselves on the immersive side of it. #HouseOfKong #Gorillaz 🎧
