HOLY COW! This finale to this series gets more and more intense with each month’s installment! I’m really itchin to know how it will all end… But, it looks like I still have atleast another month to wait before I can find out the ending of the Elric Brother’s Saga.

Me thinks that we ate, yesterday, at the beach party… As I reported, we all had a blast, but something has now hit me and Jenny (Jenny worse then I) that has us feeling under the weather a bit today… Anyways, I hope no one else is feeling ill today. At any rate, though, life continues and things will get better. Till next we meet!

… From an excellent day at the beach, visiting with some of the aniRAGE crew, our friends, and a dear friend whom has been living in Washington but, came back for a visit. We played at the beach, we BBQ’ed, and fun was had all around! Hope everyone else, out there, had a wonderful day too! Take it easy, everyone!

I and my beautiful Girlfriend reached our first year marker… I know it doesn’t seem like a big thing, but it means the world to me! I’ve never had a relationship that lasted over 7 months before. Most things just don’t ussually work out for me. But, this relationship and this woman are two of the greatest things that have ever happened to me! I really, truely, and deeply love her… My very own Sango… And, I really do feel like she is the one for me… That perfect woman… I love you, Jen.

… I just figured that I would drop a little line here to place some thoughts on both the events of the con and of the current/to come. So, in my opinion, ExPcon II was probably THE BEST con I have been too. I, along with all of the others, were strongly opinionated of this last year, but THIS years con has taken the cake by SO MUCH! Let me run off my reasonings as to why…
1.) We had excellent cameos in Concept Galaxy’s Opening, closing, and “Anime Night Live” productions. We had some good spots in last years as well, but this year saw the entirety of our group being able to get in on the act and it was FAR more organized and professional. I really do have to give it up to Stephanie and her crew! Every single one of them is both a scholar and a lady/gentleman AND they are supremely talented writers, dancers, and actors! I am MOST DEFIENTLY looking forward to being able to perform alongside of them, once more, at any convention that our group and theirs happens to find ourselves jointly at.
2.) Our parts within Anime Belle’s Kimono Fairytale theature and other panels where a HUGE success! Ashley (Aka Anime Belle) is an extremely AMAZING woman and along side of her mother, father, grandmother, and all of the rest of the Bellites… That crew is Family! 100% Family! We are ever so greatful to her and to all of her clan! God bless the whole lot of you guys!
3.) Our own panels (Anime XD, Whose line is it AniRAGE) where a HUGE success! We entertained before a packed out audience and we kept the house laughing! Certainly, there were a few flubs that happened in our main performance, but that will happen to even the best. We learn from our mistakes and seek to do better from them. Point being, though, even with our errors, we kept a full and fully entertained audience for the entirety of the show! No interruptions. No groups leaving. Everyone stayed put until the very end and everyone had a great time! This is the kind of show we (as entertainers) want to be able to put on! I’m still a little drunk off of the sheer amazement that was the culmination of alot of hard work and practice. I tip my hat to the rest of my family here. You guys are amazing to be able to be friends with… Let alone to perfomr with. Thanks for inviting me into the group and a raised glass to our future shows! Lets knock them ALL out of the ball park ^_~.
4.)And, this is the last one that plays up on what some folks might call “sappy”, but I would be a fool if I failed to mention the loving support and sincerel endearment of (and to which I return equally too) my Girlfriend… Hell! All of our Girlfriends! Thank you all for your loving support and care. I know we can all be a bit difficult to deal with at times, but we sincerely love and cherish all of you… And, I especially Cherish my Beautiful Angel, Jenny… My Sango ^_~.
And, with those stated, I’d like to say that I’m glad we made back safely and would like to offer a special thanks to Kerby. If not for him, Neither I nor jenny, Nor Duo and Evey could have made it to this. The man is a King amongst men and I am deeply gifted to be able to call him my brother and one of my truest, dearest, best friends. Thank you. Kerby. I’m going to pay you back for this someday. You wait and see ^_~.
Well,… Gotta run! I have a Bachelor’s party to attend and we have to try and find Jenny a job and try to get my car working. Long story to go through now, but don’t any of you readers worry. Things will be looking up and they could always be worse… Just keep us in your thoughts/prayers and we’ll be right as rain here soon! Much love to all of you and keep on checking out the forums and this page for new updates and performances! Catch you all later!

Had another DnD night with some good friends and part of the guys yesterday. No DnD was played (sadness ~_~;;) and none shall be played until after EXPcon (Epic Sadness T-T)… However, we did spend the evening over at our good friends Dryden and Schifrin’s where we ate hamburger helper and BBQ, drank a little, played some rock band, watched some Wolverine: Origins, and explored their awesome home ^_^. They have a photoography studio and ALL SORTS of cool things! The only thing I didn’t care for was the Spiders, though… They keep tarantulas as pets… I’m Arachnaphobic (DX). But, at least I didn’t have a panic attack with them around. They never left the cage (or at least where out of it near me) so I was good ^_^. I’d like to thank them again for having all of us crazy peoples over and feeding us and Letting me try my first sip of Absinthe… God, is that stuff a kick in the pants O_o! Anyways, I’m off unto the nether regions of cyberspace and house cleaning (Yay @_@;;). Catch all of you hip cats again later ^_~!
~Miroku (Didn’t see the green fairy, but saw a black spider… ~Flees.~)
Ahem… Sorry… All sillyness aside, I wanted to test to see if this worked and it looks like that I was successful ^_^! Now then, with that out of the way, I’d like to just post here and leave a little update for how the last AniRAGE meeting went and the week up until now:
The meeting last Saturday was a great huge success and I’m feeling very confident in all of us that EXPcon II is going to be another groundbreaking performance for us all ^_^! It’s really nice to see the fruits of so many creative geniuses coming to it’s fruition. I really have to give it to the rest of my teammates in saying that you guys seriously are awesome and I find it an absolute pleasure not only to be able to work with you all… But, to be friends with all of you as well ^_~! Later that evening, I and my G.F. had much fun at a Local Nightclub which hosted a “true blood” party. For those whom don’t know, it’s a tv/book series about vampires in the south… It’s interesting, but I went more so just because it gave me an excuse to dress up as a Vampire and goof off with a group of friends and my beautiful angel. Since then, the work week has been ok and it looks like alot of the financial worries I’ve been having with EXPcon coming up are begining to work themselves out (YAY!). All in all, I think it’s been a pretty awesome one thus far and I’m looking forward to see what the rest of the week holds! Till then, I’ll catch all you awesome Peoples later! Do watch “Attack of the Sibbies”, btw… It’s EXTREMELY awesome ^_^!
