I thought it might be nice to dedicate a thread to people telling us about themselves. Y'know... how many years they've been attending Yaoi-Con, who they've dressed up as, what awards they've won, what they like and do for fun, and what other conventions they attend. So, I'll start things off... and I hope people do the same~!
My name is Chris... but feel free to call me Irvine or whatever else if that's how you know me, or if you prefer to call me by another name. I don't mind. ^^ I'm 26, and I've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area all of my life... except for a year where I lived on campus at San Diego State University. Yeah... that was a very, very good year. ^_______^
A large part of my free time used to be devoted to anime. I've been part of the staff of most anime conventions in California, and I even ran one for the first time last year. Since then, I accepted a tech job in Santa Clara where I live. It still takes up most of my free time. Regrettably, I no longer staff or volunteer anime conventions now. XD Ah well.
I've also been a promoter, and gotten paid to do what I love. The most recent example of that was when the Appleseed movie (Masamune Shirow) was re-released here. I got to pimp the movie, and got paid a lot to do it... along with free stuff~! I still have some full-size double-sided movie posters from that. I promote anime because I really like it. ^^
I don't remember exactly how I heard about Yaoi-Con, and totally came on a whim the second year. The first day I was there, I found myself wishing that I had known about the first year... and I haven't missed one since. I look forward to this convention all year long, every year... and always leave smiling and wishing that it had lasted longer.
Yaoi-Con is one of my favorite things in the whole world.
I also like sashimi, spicy foods of all sorts, console role-playing games, long red hair, chocolate, and petting cats. =^-^= So, that's me (well, the non-perverted part)... now please tell us about you. Also, feel free to ask me anything at all that you might want to know.
