So I’ve moved over to a new server, hopefully we’ll all see a real increase in performance. If you encounter any other problems please leave a comment here about it so I can get on it.
Thanks,

Well, the weekend is over, and so is StarFest 2008, Denver, CO.

I was flying solo this weekend, as my co-host had to work. So since my car isn’t running, and I didn’t feel like riding my motorcycle 50 miles each way each day (Max had some teeth out, so I had to come back at night to give him his meds), I hitched a ride with Jason and Heather Martin from ArtPlayMix.com. Getting in was no problem. I went up and told them who I was, the lady looked, unsuccessfully, for a list of press people, gave up and just gave me the worth-more-than-it-weighs-in-gold “All Access” badge, and I was on my way.

Turns out Anime Pulse drove the most traffic to the StarFest site out of any sites doing banner ads for them. Since I “won”, they gave me two free autograph/photograph tickets, which I immediately used for Adam Baldwin (see pic below.. Oh Yeah!).

So Batou and I didn’t get into Sakura-con until 2pm because our plane was delayed out of Denver for two hours, and then the shuttle driver skipped our stop. Idiot. Anyways, we got there in time to catch some of Penny Arcade’s panel. Then we spent some time getting a feel for [...]

Friday afternoon/evening was pretty quiet. It started off a bit disorganized, with some of the early panels not happening, no schedules, etc. But people were showing up, the artists were there, and the mood [...]

NDK started off pretty good. No real programming until 5:30, but we had some great Taiko drummers to launch us off.
After that we had opening ceremonies, followed by a Madhouse panel/Q&A and then rounding out the evening with a concert by Lisa Furukawa.
All in all it was a great day. Below is links [...]
