For now, my back-catalog repository (which may end up growing to into something more at some point in the very distant future,) Nekodashi.com only hosts one measly CD (revision 4920,) albeit in a better quality of mp3 than I could host on the limited account I have this site on. Eventually, the rest of my back-catalog (which will be broken down by album when possible) will be up there. At point, I might end up radically tweaking things here or there for greater integration, but for now it works. By not using a ready made blog system at nekodashi, I’m getting a lot more experience with php, and at somepoint, I’ll probably either change that or I’ll build a program that allows me to automatically generate pages, but for now, it’s keeping me sharp.
Yeah, I’m going to be in this, and I am excited about it. I hope the camera man doesn’t get stuck filming me in boring panels all day when it comes to the convention though (actually, I like panels, I just doubt me asking questions of a rep makes for great footage.) Granted, the whole idea of being press being filmed is sorta weird. It’d be like someone making documentary about a war reporter, thus having a camera filming as scene being filmed. Very recursive or Escher-esque I suppose.
Hopefully, my second CD is actually done by the time the director flies out to shoot interviews and such because that would be a nice little boost to my over all perception of being a nerdcore artist to have more than just one CD. It shows a commitment to the genre in my opinion.
Meanwhile, I hung out at AK, went with a group of those folks for food at Crossroads, then capped that at Denny’s with the BCC crew. Very fun stuff. I mean, Chicken Teriyaki, Peppermint Earl Grey Tea, Smothered Fries and Hot Cocoa, all with a side of great friends? That’s a lovely evening, even if it freezing outside. All in all, I think I could get used to this kind of social interlude. Really unwinds me for the weekend, allowing me to attend to other things because I’ve gotten my destressing from the week’s worries. Certainly did today…
…Well, atleast until I heard news of 4kids getting Pretty Cure, compounded by the CEO of 4kids repeatedly saying at an anime con “kids don’t read,” apparently ignorant of that whole Harry Potter thing, apparently ignorant of the success of manga, even in the target demographic he’s after. There goes my leisure because I’m going to have to camp the Toon Zone Anime Forum this weekend to put out fires. I guess that’s balance for ya.
So, I was very productive yesterday in my own way. Turned in a program that I should get an A on into Comp-Sci, hung out with two different social circles (Anime Kingdom and BCC,) went to three different restaurants in the process of that (one Chili’s and two different Denny’s,) payed for some webhosting for my secondary new website that’ll allow me to better promote my music (100s of GBs of bandwidth + GBs of webspace + Dedicated Domain == hay guyz my back catalog is online in it’s entirety for the first time ever,) received a disc full o’ fansubs from an acquaintance (Pretty Cure, because even though I know it’s going to be pedantic fanboy fodder with a psuedo-shoujo coating, a lot of the same staff will be working on the upcoming PPGZ and I want to really confirm whether they’ve got the chops to pull it off) and I tryed a new soda.
BTW, the second Denny’s I went to was running a survey on where Denny’s should put more restaurants, and one of the questions was “where did you just come from.” I had to fill in the other option, and I filled it with “another Denny’s.” Probably about the only time I’ll ever get to do that, but that was fun. Oh yeah, I ended up at two different Denny’s because the BCC crew couldn’t fit in one.
Meanwhile, the new soda I tryed was “Vault,” Coke’s attempt to get at Mt. Dew AMP/Mt. Dew MDX. It’s pretty tasty and definitely caffinated and sugarnated to the extreme, but I’ll still take real energy drinks over it because they’ve got the vitamins and herbs that last longer than a caffeine/sugar rush alone.
And that’s about I have to say today. 
Ok, it’s barely 2 pictures, and only from the concert DVD, but it’s something, and it’s a nice memento of the event.
