I spent a bunch of this weekend at the very first Tri-Con KW, both as an attendee and as a bit of an exhibitor. People were met, fun was had, videos were shot, and parties were partied. Ideas were had too, more on that when I get things sorted out. I’ve never really done cons before, not until the last year or so, when I went to Vidcon and Fan Expo.
A day late this week because of the G33k Art Show, which was incredible.

It’s been just about a year since I started posting here, and I’m pleased about two things. First, things in my life haven’t slowed down at all. Second, they’re getting better.
