Connecticon 2011 VLog Part 6: Day 2 Evening. FIREWORKS

Fireworks!  Huzzah!

Connecticon 2011 VLog Part 5: Day Two Afternoon

This one is kind of short.  Mostly just the big cosplay event thing line.  Next one will be a fireworks show.

Connecticon 2011 VLog Part 4: Day Two Midafternoon

Here is more con footage.  Midafternoon stuff here.

Not the most exciting of updates, but anything over 8 minutes or so at 720p takes AGES to upload and hope there is no wifi or other internet related connection fart.  So we get this amount.  Like I said though, Saturday is the biggest day.  So I have the most footage.

Connecticon 2011 VLog Part 3: Day Two Morning

More mayhem.  Youtube was being a pain so it took quite some time to get the bloody thing uploaded.

Connecticon 2011 VLog Part 2: Day One

Here is part 2, the actual stuff I did Friday.  I didn't actually record as much today as I did the next two days but that's ok.  Was faster to quasi edit.  I pretty much leave all my flubs in.  

                Next time we start on Saturday!  Where the magic happens.

Connecticon 2011 Vlog Part 1: Preparation, Travel, and Hotel.

                                     Yes.  My other new project to go along with my Let's Play.

You will get THE convention experience from this.  All with my damned awful voice which gets more incoherent as the days go by and my sleep cycle is borked even more.  (13 broken hours over 3 days.  I'm still sort of recovering a week later!)

Cosplayers and such show up next time.  Though not many sexy ones.  I felt creepy even wanting to cover them, and I didn't feel like bothering them either.

Though Anime News Network had one of those up: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-cosplay/2011-07-12/gurren-lagann-yoko-ritona .

I think I remember passing her once.  Or one of the other Yoko players.  It takes a lot of guts to want to traipse around dressed like THAT.

(Though she does a great job at pulling it off.)

If you ever wondered what going to a con was like you will learn.   But Connecticon is a general nerd con, though it seems to have a heavy anime influence.  So the type of mayhem a more corporate one like San Diego Comic Con or a really huge focused one like Gen Con or Origins  has won't really be seen here.

Connecticon is big enough to have lots of stuff going on but small enough to fit into one large convention center (primarily taking place on 2 floors of it, plus bits in the hotel itself) so its not really too hard to get around in or get lost.  Course having been there 6 years now (05, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11) I kind of have my feel for the lay of the land.

Stay tuned for more of it.  I will try adding in snarky captions for when I do amazingly dumb things in retrospect, though the dumbest thing was actually deciding to blog it video style with a Flip camera in 720p.  Hey.  It was 65 bucks with a Staples coupon and it does 2 hours of video that fits in a pocket.
