It’s been almost 2 weeks since STGCC. I’ve got everything ready to post about it; The few photos and the content I want to write all in point form in my mind. Yet, I simply lost the motivation to write anything. I’m not sure if it’s just laziness or just a burnout. Like LianYL’s burnout. Do the man a favour and take a look at the stuff he’s trying to clear.
Alright, back to the event. STGCC 2009 has been the event which I spent the shortest time at. Usually, when I head to such events related to cosplay and other aspects of geek/otaku culture, I’d be there pretty early an stay till closing time, or at least near to it.
They don’t bother if you have a DSLR now, you need to have epic gear if you want those in costume to look in your way
With the brief time spent at STGCC 2009 on Saturday, I only have a couple of things to say.

Finally, nearly a month of waiting, I finally got my hands on a ticket for Tacica’s live.
Previously, it was sold out on the first day of the ticket sales. Even on auction sites such as Yahoo Japan Auction, the tickets for the Shibuya-AX live were rare, and the bidding often rose to double of the original price. That would have been alright if I didn’t have to include the other costs such as domestic and international shipping and other fees. I still burnt my wallet a little and got it anyway. After all, if I miss out on this, there’s no telling when I can attend another live performance in Japan.

If I want to blog about Evangelion, I’d like to use some nice images of Rei in the post. But WAH insists that I can’t use fanart or whatever without crediting. But it’s such work to go through all that trouble for a single image! I’ve seen a solution to this here, but I simply can’t draw stickmen. Damn I should have paid attention in art class back in kindergarten.
I figured that I would need something related to Evangelion if I wanted to post about it. No, posting lolcat images doesn’t work this case.
Here are my thousand words describing another solution I’ve thought of.
In the form of an image
This has got to be the best image for an anime blog post header, ever.
Also, WAH, you’ve got to understanding that trying to stop bloggers from using those images you speak of, over the Internet, is futile. They’ll only listen to you if you march up to them, bloodlusted and pounding a sledgehammer.

I’ve been seeing quite a bit of news regarding the special K-ON! guitars that are to be released, and was wondering why there wasn’t one for BECK. My question was answered while I was browsing through the music magazine section in Kinokuniya. Holding up a copy of the August release of GiGS, I was deciding if I should make the purchase just for the band score of Black Market Blues by 9mm Parabellum Bullet. While deciding, I flipped to the back of the magazine, and was surprised by the advertisement.
It was Koyuki’s Fender Mustang (MG69-BECK) going for 105,000 yen. The advertisement’s there probably because of the upcoming movie next year, which is still a long way to go.
