Even though I just got home, it's time to hit the road again -- as on Saturday (April 26th 2025) I'm going to be at Concinnity in Milwaukee, WI.
Concinnity is a one day con held at MSOE downtown. This is the con's 25th year, and even though I've been doing Wisconsin cons since, well, before this con existed, somehow I've never ended up going to it until now. Largely this is because it fell so close to No Brand Con historically, so I was usually far too burnt out to do another event so close to it. But as No Brand is on hiatus, I figured it was about time I dipped my toe in and sent off a vendor application a while back.
I'm excited to finally go to this. I'll have all my standard stuff for sale, so if you're in town and feel like going to a little college show, stop on by and say hello. After this con though I'm going to take a well deserved rest. This much travel can take a lot out of me -- we've only been home for a couple of days, and we're immediately hitting the road again with this con.
In fact I should probably go to bed right now.
My next cons after this won't be until this summer, with Big Minneapolis Anime in Minneapolis August 2-3, and then Anime 414 in Milwaukee August 9-10. The former of which I'll be sharing a table with Peregrine Lake artist Ethan Flanagan. I'm slowly building up to a full schedule again this year, and I'm trying new stuff as much as I can.
Hopefully y'all come with me for the ride.

So Garner is like the Awesome Roy of Unagi Con?
Wow, that comic seems to summarize what so many cons experience, no matter the size.
I so rarely get to use this phrase…
“Just as I suspected!”
No one is where Jim is for that long without having social manipulation ninjutsu – no matter how innocuous they may seem.
The haphazard way Unaji Con is run seemed to say that Jim was simply leader by being the one to raise his hand or not say no.
I’m still curious why Mouse Whispering was the number 1 item…
Racism probably?
Okay what. I’ve never heard that before and Google isn’t helping. I’d spent this entire time assuming it was a random joke involving the rodent equivalent of horse whispering leading to barely-trained mice running over people’s feet. What does it actually mean?
I mean it’s totally not two random words that I thought sounded funny when paired together.
Nope.
Don’t know what you’re talking about.
That’s racist!
