Getin our fun-on with some butt-ons

So Red came up with this idea to create a button set, themed as Villains. It showcases the evil Professor Villain along with his mechanical creations, KillBot, DeathBot, DieBot, and EnzoBot. Above is what we came up with! We were trying to get these ready for Katsucon (which is this weekend!) but due to all this snow business that mother nature's been ejaculating on our area, it may have to wait, aw shucks.

After much shoveling, i present Red and our buddy Paul; a RegrblGothic:

Team Conan

Tonight we all say farewell conan and fuck you nbc. I mean both Leno and O'Brien are good night time talk show hosts, but i prefer Conan. Why didn't they just fire Jimmy Fallon and given the Late show to Leno? After all this talk about the late night screw up, i came up with this image - cuz it just makes sense. As Teela from Masters of the Universe put it, "Don't say goodbye. Say Good Journey."

Good journey, Conan...good journey.

Busch Gardens

Welcome to the new year, and another year of REGRBL! So, so sorry. But still, a new year means it's a time for resolutions! And your local blue hero has one of his own: keep the blog nice and updated. So we've got some old events to catch up on:

'Twas a hot summer day, long ago, in August 2009. The RGBoys, Cup and Purple are off to meet Wings, HorseCookies and Lilac at Busch Gardens! We agreed to meet at the bumper cars so we can drink and drive in a contained atmosphere. You know Busch Gardens belongs to Anheuseur Busch, right? Because Red sure didn't.

I used to love the swing ride when I was a kid. Turns out it's still pretty awesome.

So we meet and decide to start off with an awesome rollercoaster.

But who can resist a retarded 3D ride at THE CURSE OF DARKASTLE!?

We spend a lot of our day waiting in sweltering hot lines (thank god for beer)

So we go cool off at the Roman Rapids. Alliteration makes me wet.

And here are pictures of us waiting in line for the most... awesome... ride... ever.

THE GRIFFON!

It's so awesome that we come back and ride it 'til dark.

Ok, so it was mostly a picture post. But it was half a year ago! I did what I could. Expect an AUSA post soon!

Connecticon '09

So... here's a one month old post, back from when we went to Connecticon. Since it took place so long ago, so many shots ago, this is going to be primarily a picture post (not that anyone reads this for the writing). Maybe it was a bad idea to put me in charge of these con updates D:

Connecticon on Friday was rough. Red, Green, Purple and I pretty much left Virginia at midnight and arrived in time to set up our table in the morning. My first priority was to find the bathroom while they found the table and started setting up. Whilst paying my alms to the porcelain god, I received a phone call:

"Uhhh, Blue, you need to hurry up..."
"What? Why?"
"We just realized... none of us know how to set the pvc up."
*silent laughter*

Work, monkies, work!

Finished product!


Purple, sleeping under the table. We do this a lot...

Of course, there were a bunch of fun cosplays
Connecticon is big on steampunk <3

One of the coolest parts of Connecticon is the artists' party. Inyx, the artist who organizes the whole dealy invited us to a party for "networking". We were hesitant, but we were told there would be pizza and drinks. Sold. Good marketing; artists tend to be starving.
She's blurry, but that's inky-tea in the middle of that first picture! *waves*

Inyx set up some posters for all the artists to draw on.
When the pizza arrived, Red and Green opted to draw on the boxes :D

We were also pleasantly surprised that "pizza and drinks" really meant "pizza and drinks"

Me with Inyx, the organizer of this awesome party

As we stumble back from the party, we bump into Sandeep Parikh (better known as Zaboo, from the webseries "The Guild"), Rahiru (who posted a video of RGB acting... not so heroic... on the forum), and Kilika (longtime friend of RGB. I was told I accidentally punched him in the face. Sorry!)

And believe it or not, we actually did manage to get some work done while we were there:

By "we" I obviously mean Red and Green. This is also the first con we started selling buttons!


Sadly, we lost our portfolio (and all contained prints) in Connecticut...
but... Connecticut didn't arrest us for drunk in public (even though we gave it three REALLY good chances to)...
So I guess we're even.

Otakon '09

Hey guys, Blue here. Sorry about the long delay in getting this post up! Forgot to bring my camera this year, so we had to get pictures from our friends. Then Green had to superimpose our heads to ensure our secret identities remained secret. Then add in the fact that I am one of the world's top procrastinators, and well... you get a week-old update!

Friday was a pretty simple day for us. Red and I set up the table while waiting for the rest of the group to arrive to check in to our hotel. During which time, we got to meet several of our lovely forumites, and Red and Green got to pump out some pretty cool commissions:

(Left to Right: An ecchi draft by Green [that's the source image on top], Gattsu by Red, and Alice's commission by Green)

Really do wish we got more pictures of the commissions - honestly, it feels like the guys spent the entire con drawing. Purple explored the con and caught some fun cosplayers, though:

After all their hard work, and Friday con events coming to an end, we realized we failed to set up dinner. What can you really expect from poorly organized otaku, though? Deciding to postpone it for tomorrow night, we go to Hooters for beer and shots. Maybe some food, but it was mostly for the beer and shots.

We couldn't take the skybridge on our way back to the hotel. It was closed like I'm the god BAC (that's short for Bacchus for the educated, Blood Alcohol Content for the rest of us) had intended it. This caused us to pass the fountain on our detour. The conversation went thusly:

RGB: Man, remember that year we jumped into the fountain?
Mutual friend: You guys should do it again!
RGB: Haha, yea we should. (jokingly)
Voice of Alcohol: YOU REALLY SHOULD, PUSSIES!
Mutual friends: *chanting* Jump in, Jump in!
Red: I'll do it if Green does it
Blue/Green: I'll do it if Blue/Green does it. (I was drunk, so I don't remember which of us idiots thought that this would bring this dare to a dry end).
Red: *jumps in*

...So yea, here are some pictures:Please notice the "No Swimming" sign.
Yes guys, this seems like a bad idea

Why yes, yes it is a bad idea

Oh well, who cares. I convinced a random stranger to jump in with us!

And it just wouldn't be us if things didn't get a little gay at some point >_>

So a couple dives and fountain climbs later, we head back towards the hotel, soaking wet. We had no trouble getting in, since we just looked like the sweaty otaku returning from the rave. We hit the hay after a thorough shower.

Saturday we woke up with the intent to go to the One Piece photoshoot, but failed to find it. So much fail for Team RGB this Ota :(

Red and Green continued to draw commissions. They drew so many, in fact, that we ran out of Bristol board! Wow! Let's attribute this a combination of amazing artistic talent and high demand! Not to being ill-prepared *cough*

At least we managed to eat dinner with the forumites! The food court was packed (I don't know why we were expecting anything different), so we decided to go somewhere we could get [relatively] cheap beer and shots! Yes, good ol' Hooters again. Our dearest little Wings turned 21 recently, so how could we not imbibe a few?!

It was awesome meeting you all (a few for the second time)! Hopefully we can turn this into a tradition, with even more of the forumites coming!

With too much never being enough, we head out to go barhopping with a friend of ours who lives in Baltimore. No pictures from those events, but there are a few from the aftermath I like to call "Some drunks, 1 Cup"

Sunday, Red is the only one with the willpower to wake up and set up the table. Almost telepathically, Alice and Wings show up like coffee fairies. I woke up still drunk from last night (pretty awesome, but the hangover hit me in the middle of the day), and the rest of us attempt to check out of the hotel. Green is hungover, and of no help:

Yea, that's the hotel lobby floor.

All in all, it was the sleep-deprived, mostly drunk, crazy social event we have come to know and love. Yay, Otakon!
