New on The Guild Webseries (from comiccon)

Hey Folks,

I tagged along with the guildies today and checked out The Guild panel including special guest - Will Wheaton. Wheaton appeared in the sneak preview of season 3 as the leader of a rival guild 'Axis of Anarchy' (seen below)
Wheaton wasn't the only surprise. The cast did their panel dressed in their avators costumes, created by Sarah Trost - who Ironically I worked with way back when. Sarah created the costumes for a music video The Guild Priemered at the panel, and which will be released limited to Con goer's and then eventually X-Box live.

here's a few screens from the video

Comic Con Day 0 - I'm already gonna die

Hey Folks,


Man ComicCon is going to kill me. There's just not enough time in the day and no time to get on the internet when the day is done. I may have to pony up for a 13 dollar a day Wifi fee at the convention center. At least maybe for just one day.

So real Quick I've been hanging out with some Guildies, Fans of Felicia Day's webseries 'The Guild'.

Tonight the Guildies and I had Dinner with Fernando Chien & director Sean Becker of the Guild as well as Kenny and Jenni from the Knights of the Guild Podcast, Edgar the web guy and the boys from Fury of Solace.

They took lots of pictures (Better then the one I got)



The apparently I was bitten by a very short vampire.


So Tomorrow I may or may not be able to broadcast Failpire. IDK - I'm not going to stress it. After everything that's happened this past week I'm a little burnt out. So I need to just relax and not go crazy. Honestly I'm not so sure I even want to go to ComicCon Tomorrow (Thursday), I feel like just vegging. But who knows.

Stay Strong,

PS this is not a clever True Blood tie in, like that Gillette ad. Though now that I've mentioed it, both True Blood and Gillette own me monies.

It's gonna be one of Those Months.

Hey Folks,

If you've been following my twitter you already know - my dad isn't doing well.
In fact there's no talk of recovery at this point. My cousin has notified to hospice and he'll be moving there shortly.

I'm heading on out to FL sometime in the next 40 hours - waiting to hear back from my brother before I buy my over priced ticket.

Then in about a week I'm heading down to ComicCon - which should be the most surreal experience of contrast ever.

And in a few weeks after that, I'll be heading back to PA to help my mom out. Again my brother will be there.

This maybe the most time we'll have spent together since we were both living at home.

I don't know when or why the bonds of family ceased to be cohesive, and I don't know that there's really any getting it back at this point. I'm a loner Dottie, a rebel . I used to quote that jokingly, but I guess somewhere along the lines it just sunk in and became a credo.

My bad?

In the face of all this, I'm not really feeling anything particularly "big" - it's more of a numb and a sense of "shouldn't I be feeling something more here"?

I'm disconnected from the whole thing. I'm sure when I get there, things will be different.

So that's where I'm at.

Stay Strong,

Anime Expo Los Angeles 2009 - Day 1

Hey Folks,

I gotta say I don't even know what to talk about right away. I'm so exhausted from the grueling day of running around snapping pictures of anything and everything (willing or not!).

For the record it can be said that any girl with animal ears is 80% Hotter. I don't know what the deal with that is, but I know understand all that farm porn.

This was really my first time ever at a convention like this. A long time ago I went to a MacWorld - but I don't recall ever seeing anyone dressed up as a 512 or sporting a sleek one click mouse hat.

I've learned alot from Day One of Anime Expo - namely that I'm completely out of touch with anime and I have virtually no idea who any of these people have dressed up with. So My flickr page is going to be littered with pictures titled "Puppy Girl", "Hot Cat Chick" and so on. (feel free to comment on the pages and tell me what's what and who's who. I welcome the knoweldge. Hell I dare you to school me and tell me the Character Name and Show/Movie/Game they're from).

A few hours and a couple hundred pictures later my camera battery died (I need to find a place that sells those asap! 1 batterry per camera is not enough); However I was fortunate enough to run into some friends to occupy the rest of my time there (and to buy a 8 dollar crappy burger with).

FYI - if you're going to the Anime Expo - Pack a lunch, or maybe get a salad, the burgers are not worth it! Terrible terrible tasteless block of meat.

Oh yea I also ran into one other person of note, the amazing and funny Heather "Freaking, I'll cum on your brain till it exploids" Campbell. She's amazing, you can read her articles in play Magazine, or see her perform at Upright Citizens Brigade or IO West doing improv. Here she is super excited to be in front of my lens.

Actually I may have just told her the description I was going to put along side her picture, then again if I recall right she is half deer.

Tomorrow I'm taking the video camera down there, cause my feet and back don't hurt nearly as much as they can. I still don't even really know what they hell I should be focusing on but I'm mostly looking at this like, it's good practice for Comic Con which will probably be 5 times bigger, and destroy me within seconds.

If I've learned anything at Anime Expo - It's that, girls with blue hair are wicked hot. But which one is your favorite?

Stay Strong,
