It's been a hectic week filled with fun!

Last Thursday I flew to Los Angeles to help out with Anime Los Angeles. Met some awesome people! hazelchaz, ala_mokita, Pearl, Patrick, and Evan! Was drinking every night of the weekend with the last three and seshat! Twas fab! Also managed to get myself some lovely minions by the names of karinberry, koneho, and Steve. LOL. Fantastic times. I've never really had minions before but they were so awesome and I love them all. And Kon is absolutely adorable...just like karinberry had told me! :D I also may have accepted a promotion. STOP LAUGHING. It'll be less stress! Or so I'm told! :D Way less people than Fanime!

Also, kenaressa is coming back down for Fanime! SO EXCITED!!!!

Then it was back to work and try to do Fanime prep all week for the meeting on Sunday. I flailed over hot, hot Jin pictures and made a date with nihongofrancais to pick me up from the airport on Sunday.

Because I'm flying down to LA again on Saturday morning for the wrap up meeting for Anime LA. Meetings all day long. Then fly back the next morning in time for Fanime meetings all day long. Yup, a weekend full of meetings! I'm so far behind on being organized! D:

On top of that, I caught a chest cold. I'm mostly over it but am slightly congested and slept a LOT yesterday. About 15 hours worth. Took a small nap today. I'm totally bringing a ton of cough meds and tea with me down south. Or as I told Evan, who also caught a cold, I'm bringing the herbal tea, he's bringing the drugs. XD Am currently blogging while watching rightsock, damiri, yzo, and rogue_ravnos all play Rock Band 2.

It's all great fun just hanging out and I wish my new friends from So.Cali was up here with me to rock out. Of course, I'll see Steve again on Sunday and tease him horribly....just for Kon. But a weekend of meetings....joy. Anyone up for some sake afterwards?

Edit: rogue_ravnos is liquoring me up quite nicely! :D I've got an x-rated drink in hand. YUM.

SO EXCITED. :D Tomorrow, I'm back at the airport! Flying off to see karinberry, feather_down, ilanabean42, saturnianlove, peroxidepest17, and bitofpixiedust! Hey ladies, if I don't have your digits, I totally need them! *looks at Roxi & Linds* Email it to me at swtjemz at gmail. :D I can check email on my PokeShigeDex (aka blackberry) and I'll call you right away. :D

There have been a few other things that have been on my mind but I always forget them whenever I sit down to write an entry. OH WELL. :D I'll write more when I have time to breathe! After this trip, it's time to really buckle down and concentrate on tying the loose ends for my work with Fanime. I want to make sure everything is ready! I have a fantastic second-in-command (or TWIC as I call him. Yah yah, TWo-In-Command. :] )

But I hope everyone living around the SF Bay Area can come and check out Fanime on May 23-26! I'll definitely be wandering around. So if you see a frazzled (but stylishly comfortable!) me, feel free to stop me and tell me to take deep breaths!
