Uhh it happened in my proverbial back yard, so I attended to mainly rep Elisa. This is as “hangout” as a hangout con can get for me.

Anime North 2015: Wrap
Trying to keep this to the point, because a good chunk of what I want to write about will be written in a different post: the making of the offkai. Also, this post is taking me 2+ weeks to wrap up? Most of it I had written just a day or two after, but it took a long time to put the finishing touches on it.
Anime North 2015
Today is actually Day 1 of Anime North, the largest anime con in Toronto. This year it reaches the mandatory daily cap faster than last year. I think the weekend passes sold out in about a few weeks. There are also panels on Thursday this year. I didn’t check if that was the case last  year, but that might be true.
I’m going to be there throwing up some events. Mostly just going to hang out with all the other largely-single-tracked minds at the con, balancing if we can squeeze in a Nabatame autograph or panel here or there. She should be quite the fascinating character. But I’m there for Asapon.
Doing a “proper” offkai in a land far from home is otherwise going to consume all my time. Let’s see how it goes. I mean, this is the offkai at the offkai. Cosplayers might go do a formal ball thing, Producers just hang out and cry to footage of IM@S 9th Anniversary. Both pay for a ticket to go.
If you are also dropping by the con, ping me as per usual.
This is my “first” con of the year, and it would set a record for the latest start for me since a long time ago, except I actually went to Otakon Vegas, as little as I did there. I mean I literally went there for a badge on Thursday, to buy some goods on Friday (at 1 booth), and attended an autograph and meet & greet session on  Sunday. Well, all is according to plan.
Bucket List Lives, 2015
I always wanted to go to some bucket list lives, so I did.

2015 Split Double Header, Game 2: Day 1-3
As some of you might know I’m currently in Japan as of this writing. The funny blog post title is more a clue for you to figure out what the hell do I mean by it, and for me to distinguish this series of travelogues from the other ones I will write, which hopefully will be for IM@S 10th.
The trip for this “game” includes, hopefully, a NPB exhibition game too, so pardon the baseball motif. Their proper season doesn’t begin until in 2 weeks I think, but the various teams are already doing their spring training games and what not. The one I am planning to go to is the Samurai versus Euro game. Snooze, right?
Also, I want to write a few notes about the lives I attended.
This might get kind of long.
