See me at a con? At PAX I probably won’t be very distinguishable, but if you do see a crazy (and short) brunette (with super-long hair) running around the dealer room or wherever, give her a holler. Oh, I WILL be wearing a bunch of The World Ends With You pins, if that makes me more identifiable, and I may also be wearing a Haruhi or Gurren-dan jacket. But I’ll only be at PAX Friday, and mostly towards the afternoon/evening.

Kumori will be much easier to spot me, since I’ll be on the Maid Squad. I’m doing registration 10-12 on Saturday and then on Sunday I’ll be manning the Host Club tea party and the Slants Q&A. I will probably also help out here and there, so look for the maid with the ruffly wristbands and gosurori headpiece and it might be me O_o ‘Course I’ll probably have street clothes some of time too.

Anyway! On to the news:

TBS has confirmed the cancellation of Tonari no 801-chan. “Various reasons” cited but not specified.

Be Beautiful shows signs of life. Kuri notes that their website claims to be going through a redesign, and also that they’re going to be at a con (she doesn’t specify which and I’m not sure either– it doesn’t appear to be NYAF nor Yaoi-Con).

Okay, kids, be good while I’m gone. There’s $20 on the kitchen counter for a pizza.

So my friend Jen, who runs YaoiSuki, begged me on her hands and knees and offered sexual favors to sic me on Central Park Media, the beleaguered parent company of Be Beautiful, a rather troubled yaoi publisher. So of course I did as she asked. If yaoi’s your thing and you wanna know why CPM wasn’t at Yaoi Con this year or more about their troubles with Japanese yaoi publisher Libre, you can check it out here.

And if you don’t, well, don’t worry about it.
