My second convention ever has nothing to do with comic at all. It was Penny Arcade Expo, which I attended with Kayay, we actually planned to volunteer, but we forgot to send in the form, (with Comic Con and all). I have been wanted to attend PAX for a while, the idea of walking around playing any games I wanted and snag some freebies was very appealing to me, altho my dream didn’t really account the other 30,000 people at the Con trying to do the same thing, I still wasn’t disappointed, in fact, I enjoy it more than Comic-con.

The highlight of PAX ‘07 for me was getting to try games I was curious about for the longest time, especially Eternal Sonata, a game that I might just buy Xbox 360 for, another highlight was the PA strip making panel and Wil Wheaton panel.

One of my goal in the state is to eat as many kind of food as possible, Kayay told me about Crab Pot a while ago, and we finally went there.

While it was fun to eat, I prefer my seafood with Thai style spicy dipping more, but it was great meal all the same.

Some Photo from the evening:

someone from somethingawful transcribed the whole thing:

Q: Recent polls have shown a fifth of americans can’t locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?

Miss South Carolina: I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because ah some people out there in our nation don’t have maps, and uh I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, our education over here, in the U.S. should help the U.S. err should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for our…

According to Wiki:

During the Final Question round, Caitlin Upton of South Carolina, was asked by Aimee Teegarden why she thought a fifth of Americans are unable to locate the United States on a world map. Her response, which involved references to South Africa and “the Iraq,” has been criticized as “strange” and “grammarless,” and was also described as an “extreme blonde moment.” Videos of her response were posted to the video sharing site Youtube and have garnered over two and a half million views.[8] In spite of this answer, Miss Upton was given third runner-up (fourth-place) over Miss West Virginia.

Why didn’t they just scrap all these pretense of intelligence from these kind of contests altogether? clearly it doesn’t really affect a thing how dumb you are, as long as you have the looks.

The sad thing is, she will probably be making more money than lots of you and me by just look alone, who needs brain when you have boobs?

Old quicky I have done, forgot I still have it around until Kayay asked about it, it was cute, and I might redo it sometimes later.

I believe it was done in Painter, but I could be wrong.

One of my main goal for San Diego Comic Con 2007 was to get my portfolio seen by as many editors as humanly possible. To achieve this, I knew I had to plan early. I started by looking at schedule for every portfolio reviews from CCI website, listed the potential targets (anyone who, I felt, would care to look at manga, and a few who I didn’t think would but hey, I was desperate), considered the fact that I had to sit at SLG table at 11.00-12.30 and 3.00-4.30 everyday. Then I went through all my works, trying to select the best one, but ended up with 100 pages worth of works, I don’t know if that’s for the better or worse, but most of the editors actually looked through most of them. Then I prepped up the files, heading to kinko’s. I made 10 copies of my portfolio, ready to drop off to any unfortunate targets.

Sorry, no photo of the event, blame Boeing :p

Kayay works at Boeing Everett where the event was held today (19 August) and I decided to tag along as a ‘family’ XD. I’ve been to the Everett factory before, with the factory tour and future of flight museum, but the tour was very unsatisfying, because the tour was very short and they didn’t really let you get close to anything or even walk the factory floor, so today I was hoping that they would open up the factory more, and I wasn’t disappointed, They actually open up the factory floor and let people walked in, altho most of the actual production area were sealed off, you could really get close enough to all the cool mechanic stuff, the best thing was probably the crane demonstration, they were running one crane lifting the wing (the actual wing of 777) moving back and forth and spinning it around, really cool. I seriously wish I had photographic memory =/

After walking around the factory and visiting Kayay’s cubicle, we went to the beach nearby (I think it’s Mukilteo beach) and visited the little lighthouse there.

Nobody stopped us from taking some photo here, so we took some :)
