Thanks to my 4 page checklist the majority of the bulk load is packed and ready to go. Minor things can be picked up tomorrow before I head out for preview night.
The Only major tasks that I have are getting Sean's laptop and Transferring over the Panel presentation files, Finishing Katie Bair's Baby blanket, and retrieving my MSA Jacket from Aimee, oh, and stockings..
Other wise I am set and this is the start of My Convention Review for Phoenix Cactus Comicon!
Don't forget that the MSA Panel is on SATURDAY at 430pm in the CHOLLA room. I DO have a very special announcement to make and hope to see everyone there!

Been a pretty insane Friday. Guest pickups went off without a hitch.. Yeah thats a lie but hey. We got through everything. The last guest that we are waiting on is still Brent Spiner. He will be in tomorrow... Hopefully....
Yuri and Tara are AMAZING lols. They have been a great couple all weekend long. Katie Bair is glowing with her 6 months baby bump and wants to smell coffee.. lols. poor thing.
The Host club play was AMAZING.. I think that I just like the word amazing.. lols.. I dunno.
I had so many people taking pics of my Loli outfit. Most of the guests were shocked at the difference from yesterday to today. lols. Its all good!!!
Time for beds Panel is tomorrow!!!

Brent Spiner arrives!!!!! w00t!!! Everyone is excited about it. Including myself. Little was I to know what would happen later on. Turns out to be pretty amazing. But its to be kept under wraps for a while.
Got my pic with Reuben Langdon. He didn't recognize me from Friday. lol. I greeted him at the airport in the MSA lolita with cyberfalls. Today I was wearing the MSA formal with Babydoll curls in my hair.
The "Believe it" Panel that Yuri and Tara hosted was a packed standing room event. As if it would be anything else right? lols. They performed some fan voice service which can be found on my You Tube which will be below. Those 2 are just amazing guests. Yuri is a fanboy himself and is just plain silly awesome. Best pair of guests any liaison could want.
The lines for autographs for these two were INSANE I wasn't there though.. Poor Allyson.. She did an awesome job though. I did get my sketches signed by each of them and a pic. I was good to go from there.
While Allyson was Taming the autograph line. Sean and I were at Cosplayzones Host club event. It was cute. There were 5 tables. Each table got a host. for 10 minutes you got to play a mini game with your host. The games were.
Get the Candy hearts- You have a Styrofoam cup filled with sweethearts and a pair of chop sticks. taking one heart out a time. Fastest one wins... lol I won and Sean came in 2nd.
Telephone- Yup its THAT game.. haa haa haa
Como say what?- Each person at the table got a pice of paper with a word on it in a different language. They said the word and everyone else had to guess what the word ment and what language. Yeah.... I won this one too.
1 word story- Each person says one word to create a story!
I spy- "I spy with my little eye"
after that it was photo op time with the host club.
Once that was done it was time to get out of my uniform and go hunt down an S video cable for the laptop to do the MSA panel with. I wasnt sure if the Projectors were already equipped with this. sadly every place we went to was an epic fail. No one had one. So dejected and sad I returned to the hotel to get the laptop and perform a "When the tech breaks or in this case is missing" Panel.
Sean is on a mission to still find me a cable while I am getting the laptop ready. Its also too close to panel time for me to get re suited in the MSA uniform. (Corset requires Sean in order to get it REALLY tight)
Waiting over in the Cholla room I see that Matt Greenfield is using the entire panel time..... I wasn't to thrilled cause I really needed to check out the projector. But hey I am noticing that there are PEOPLE there for ME!!! w00T!!!
K.Laine and Cullen found me. I was really happy to see them. ShadowShinobi was there too! So I was excited to see skirts that I already knew.
We get inside and Sean is trying to get the projector and the Laptop to communicate. So basically I am fishing for time to keep everyone entertained and happy. Not how I wanted to do it but hey I did. I made the Special Travis announcement that the Gunslinger is Filming here in Tucson and we are invited.
Sean gets the projector running and then he unplugged it.. lols... great.. fish more more time and talk more about the skirts. Projector is back online and then someone trips on it.... fantastic.. lols Cept this time the projector doesn't come back on so Sean goes and fetches another projector.. Mean while I am still talking about everything that I didn't want to in the beginning.. haa haa haa.
Finally projector works and we are all good to go! The Recruitment video was awesome as always and so was the new slide show that I put together of various pics of skirts and Travis.
I also got to unveil the "How the MSA Came to be" slide show. Everyone seemed pretty entertained by it.
Then some very special guests decided to pop in! It was Cosplayzone still wearing their OH cosplays!!!! Very awesome of them
Super sad face though that the 2 phone calls that I was hope to have happen didn't.... Because there was ZERO signal in the room that we were in.. I was super bummed... oh well though.
after the panel Sean and I took Bob who is Brent Spiner's agent out to dinner. He is also a very awesome person. We went to a local hole in the wall Rolibertos mexican food. We even had a cute little fuzzy dinner guest. This homeless Calico cat decided that she really wanted some carne asada and jumped up beside Bob on the Bench and he fed her pieces the entire time. it was halarious.
After that Sean took Brent and Marina Sirtis to the restaurant they wanted to go to and I was left to my own devices so I wandered around and caught up with some friends in the Gaming area then headed to bed.

OMG WHERE IS BEN TEMPLESMITH!!! lols. I really wanted a pic with him really badly. Finally tracked him down. and got my pic. Very Pretty and really nice Australian accent. I was a happy camper. Sadly I had to leave to go to work so I tracked down Sean and Brent to say my goodbyes. Got a pic with Brent then ran around and said quick goodbyes to various guests and friends at the con only to book it home say hello to the kitties, change and go to work.
This Concludes the Con Report for Phoenix Comicon 2009
