Ahhh, sorry for the day of no posts… I was pretty exhausted from the weekend, pretty much slept all Tuesday! If you saw me at AAC I was being kept alive by a steady stream of energy drinks being sold by the guys next to me. Did you know they make a NOS energy drink? Weird… but citrucy!
Also thanks to everyone who came out to the (beta) Halolz Panel! I was really impressed with the response! I’m looking forward to running it at as many cons as possible next year!
AND NOW BACK TO SLEEP >____<

Hey! I’ll be hanging out at another anime convention this weekend… which ironically is named Another Anime Convention! It’s in Nashua, New Hampshire… so if you’re nearby this is a fun convention worth checking out! Last year I made it to the final round of the Smash Bros Melee tournament with Mr. Game & Watch, which was like, the greatest Smash Bros moment of my life… so hopefully this year I’ll have time to play again!
Also congrats to Loirnus who won my Halo 3 LE Gamerpics/Theme auction! To everyone else… YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED HARDER
Oh and with two weeks until Halloween I’m working up a little contest for the site. All I will say for now is, start thinking up some good video game related pumpkin carving ideas!

I wonder if they had to use a Moon Stone?

Ok first, if the server is going to start acting really weird, why does it have to happen while I’m out of town? I was literally trying to fix it from my booth at NYAF with my friend’s iPhone.
So… the whole webserver is acting strange… and I can’t seem to figure out the problem. From what I can tell there may be a WordPress plug-in that slowly eats up more and more memory until the server craps out and I have to reboot it… then everything is fine for a while until it happens again. I’ve gone ahead and disabled quite a few things just now which might be responsible, including the UsersOnline and Feedburner plugins. Unforunately that means the people who subscribed for email updates will not be able to get those… for those people I recommend the RSS feed until I can figure things out.
But yeah, this really sucks. Anyone know a good host I could switch to? >____<

Before I forget to mention it, New York Anime Festival… this weekend… New York City. I’ll be there. WILL YOU?
Not only is this an excellent opportunity for you to make fun of me in person, but I’ll also have Wolf stickers and a new and improved version of the Halolz poster… neither of which are available online yet! Speaking of which I should probably get that stuff up for sale online so I can start paying for this expensive new private server I had to move the site to! >___<
Well anyway, stop by and say hello! I’ll be in the small press area (booth 103 and 105). Also stop by and wish my sister Sarah (a NYC local) a happy birthday because her birthday is that weekend and she’s going to be wasting her precious weekend helping me! In fact here are some photos she took of the convention last year! You tell me that doesn’t look like a fun convention!
Also: I have a Twitter account now… if any of you are in to that sort of thing! Microblogging is THE COOLEST!

Between 1am and 5am tonight the site will be under construction as we install a new site design and a bunch of new features! I would recommend not trying to post comments during that time as they could be lost from code errors. If you feel like browsing the site feel free, but be aware for these five hours the site may be in a very weird state and be very buggy.
Thanks!
