NYAF~



As most of you all know this past weekend Blue, Green, and I attended the New York Anime Festival. Running in its second year it is a relatively new con. I was hoping to fill you guys in on the whole experience but instead I decided to watch Heroes/Project Runway with Blue, Green, and our new addition Vivy…kinda funny, we lose one asian girl and one just comes around… not that we don’t miss Lily a whole lot, its just bizarre.

2 things for this little post: 1. driving the Jersey Turnpike through the Lincoln Tunnel was probably the stupidest thing I’ve had to drive through. Freaking 6 lanes flow into like 2 tunnels!? Of course I’m exaggerating a bit, but the last hour on our trek was spent in traffic at the boarder of NJ and NY.

And number 2. I met the lovely Veronica Taylor! If you guys aren’t familiar with that name, how ‘bout Ash Ketchum? Or or or April O’Neil!!?? Or my personal favorite, Scarlet from G.I. Joe Sigma 6. It was pretty amazing to talk to her and recieve words of encouragement. Now check out this snazzy autograph!



totally knew i was awesome, and this just proves it...

Well that’s all for now. Expect more later this week on N.Y.A.F. I hope that little taste gives you an idea how much fun/amazing/mindblowing it was.

... and I'll form the Shoe!

So to start things off... Welcome to the REGRBLog!

A couple of weekends ago, Blue, Green, Lily and yours truly went out to go shopping. I was in need of a new pair of shoes and it was such a nice day outside, so we headed to Georgetown. It was nice to walk and enjoy the weather as well as peruse the local shops. Blue and Lily showed Green and I some pretty neat-o places, but I had yet came across a pair of shoes I liked... well aside from the Onitsuka Tigers, that for some odd reason came in every size but mine.

Our journey was coming to a close and I decided to just find something online. As I waited on Green and Lily to finish up on their massive amounts of spending, Blue said "hey lets check out Sportzone before we go." Lemme tell ya, best move ever. Why you ask? this is why:



Yes its exactly what you think, and that is Wave 2 of the Voltron Force shoes by Reebok. That totally made my day. So Green Blue and I are now proud owners of the Voltron Shoes.

On our way to Lily's for dinner I decided to do something I'd been putting off for some time... Building Voltron. Several Months back Cup surprised me with the Voltron 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Toy that was released back in 2005. Freakin' awesome and such a kind gesture which left me geeking out.

Now, the moment you all really care about, pictures:



















Activate interlock, Dynotherms connected, Megathrusters are go...Go Voltron Force!



I saw a tiger, but came home with a lion.
Yea, I'm such a dork.
