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!

Picture I took at Otakon of Shawn attacking Dave with his TF2 rocket launcher.

Well ConnectiCon is over, and I had a great time… but now it’s off to Otakon in Baltimore, Maryland! This is a big one, and I’ve been a little stressed getting ready for these two cons back to back, but at least you don’t have to worry about the site… I have plenty of Halolz queued up for the next few days!
So just like last week, I hope to see some people stopping by and saying hi. Mike will be making some brief appearances again at the table, so if you see him be sure to tell him to post more!
Oh I guess I should mention, we will be in the “B” block of Artists Alley… next to two of my usual cohorts Scott and Matt. And of course I will have all sorts of crap for sale… even secret stuff you don’t know about yet! Aren’t you just dying to find out? I can tell that you are. Well maybe you should get off your butt and drive to Baltimore!

Hey look! I’m announcing a convention I’ll be at mere minutes before I leave for it! What a surprise! That’s me, “No Notice” Handyside!
Anyway… I will be in Hartford, CT for ConnectiCon this weekend, representin’ the Halolz. In fact, Mike “Never Posts Because His Computer Exploded?” Moore will be there too! A rare opportunity to meet a rare poster! :P
The most exciting thing I should mention though, is I had some rad new Halolz stuff printed up for this convention (and Otakon the weekend following). I’ll leave some of it as a surprise for now… but one of them I HAVE to share… a new vinyl sticker!
God, so awesome. I think once these are available online I’m going to do a contest where you stick this somewhere funny and send in a photo and the best one gets a prize or something.
Personally I’m thinking of slapping one of these on my neighbors car when he parks in my parking space. D:
But annnnnyway… if you’re going to be around Hartford this weekend stop by and say hi!

Oh and this timely submission sent in by Jeot21!

Not sure if it really needs to be mentioned again… but I’m at AnimeExpo in L.A. this weekend with Scott and Dave! Two cons in California in a row? INSANITY.
As always I will have a wide variety of t-shirts on hand (including two brand new designs that are not available yet, and one that is coming out of retirement!) and of course a pile of Halolz posters. Also I should have some sort of new poster based off of the Brawl artwork I’ve been working on the last month (not 100% sure what that’s going to look like though). Anyway, if you’re going to be there you should track me down! I wish I could tell you what booth I’ll be at, but I have no idea! I just know it’s an exhibitors booth so I assume it will be where all the action is on the main floor.
Also Mike is indeed still alive… he has a post queued up for later today! Hopefully he can get some more up this weekend while I’m out of town!
Guess that’s about it. FRINK OUT!
