Good turnout for AniFusion with Mario, turns out the snow didn’t slow anybody down.

Definite highlights come from the people we had gathered: Emi and Promise were in rare form and sang beautifully amid to frozen and captivated fans. Forbidden Planet ended up handing me a handful of swag, which I ended up keeping rather than giving to the runner ups in the cosplay competition. Carrie looked great as always as Reindeer Mikuru Asahina.

And even though there was a brief cameo by both Santa Claus and Uncle Buen-Yo, I neutralized both threats.

In addition, I found it necessary to gather as many pictures as possible with my new Christmas present to myself from Image Anime: a Shinigami-sama ski mask. All I got to do tonight was my laundry, so I brought out Shinigami-sama for a night on the town. Sadly, no children would approach him, and no Chiquita would befriend him:

Come to me, bloomers

Doom?

So Ronery. So very, very ronery.

Promise

Haruhi Hair?

The man of the hour and his co-host.

Now, thankfully, I can take a little break until the DVD gets released at Genericon in Februrary. I’ll have it available at Katsucon, of course, since they fall on the same weekend. Everybody out there have a very VERY safe and carefree holiday season. Happy New Year, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, click-click-grunt gurgle for the citizens of District 9, and Happy Decadent-Self-Worshiping Day to Mr. T: you’ve earned it.

Enjoy the snow,
