"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

Hey! A dealer selling CD’s!
And at a con with a “No Bootlegs” policy, no less!
They could legal copies of soundtracks to popular video games or anime series.
Guess I phrased that poorly. I was merely commenting on the lack of dealers selling CDs these days, when once they were abundant.
*sigh* I miss the old days. When fansubs were multigenerational VHS copies, a lot of things were dub-only, and $40 for two episodes was considered an acceptable price.
On second thought, I only miss certain, overly romanticized elements.
Agreed. Some parts of Cons Of The Past were pretty awesome… but as a whole, the modern stuff is better.
Yeah, besides the fact that a Pioneer/Geneon released a number of Jpop and anime soundtracks, and there’s a number of game soundtracks available in the US, a lot of groups also import Japanese CDs. As long as they’re not Son May or Ever Anime or one of the other bootleg groups, there’s no reason to question CDs being at a convention.
I really need to be more specific when I’m waxing nostalgic 😉
Yeah, the “Stubble Guy’s” table has CDs because I used to sell (legit, imported) CDs at cons.
