Chris:

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

MISFILE TO BE PUBLISHED BY EIGOMANGA!

After meeting at Anime Expo, EigoManga and I have begun a relationship as publisher and artist, and Misfile will be published (with further details to be forthcoming) hopefully as early as December of January.  Please note that this will in no way effect your ability to continue reading Misfile here on this web site, but I do hope that many of you will acquire the paper version of Misfile for your collections (I know that some of you have been asking for it already).    I will give you all more details as they are available, but right now, I'm pretty psyched. :)  Please pay their site a visit and let'em know how totally great it is of them to give me this chance.

Now for some Anime-Expo pictures:

Upon first arriving at the con (after standing in line forever, of course) I immediately spotted this AE86 in the lobby, and being in my Initial D costume already...  Later that day, there were some other Initial D Cosplayers and we had a pretty good time until one of us was arrested by officer Jenny.  Later that night was the usual EZ board get together part 1 in which, per usual, I got to embarrass myself.

On day two, Third and I donned out Chrno Crusade Costumes (Picture 1, Picture 2).  There were a lot of other good cosplayers that day.  Here are some samples:  Naruto, More Naruto, Felicia from Jubei-chan (a shame we didn't bring out Jubei-chan costumes this year), Full Metal Alchemist, Kodomo no Omocha, Noir (yeah, Third may hate it, but I think Chloe is cool :P), even the Laughing Man from GITS TV.   I changed out of costume for the Web Comic Panel, which was a tremendous success in all respects.

More costumes!: Pepsi Man!  Of course, our friend Jay who was hired to make this Gun Grave Costume.  We liked it so much, we bought him an ice cream cone.  Awwwww... And last, but not least, this unusual costume idea from Azumanga Daioh.

Other highlights included this B12 pillar in the dealers room (that's Gozer from the forums on the left and me on the right) and this XR4Ti we found in the parking lot... The guy sitting in it while we were taking picture was kinda freaked out by us though.

That's all for now.

Have a good read.

Yeah! For good news.  If you say Chris's post, you know that Misfile is gonna be in print, and at your local bookstores.  This includes the UK.  So, head over to your book store and request that they get the Rumble Pak in stock.   You can see more about the Rumble Pak on the Eigomanga website!   

Keep the votes coming! 

Smiles!
