  1. I'm working on a secret plan for NYAF. But for Otakon next year I'm hellbent on doing a good Fujiwara-no Sai. Let's hope my determination holds up!
  2. Apologies in advance for my accursed longwindedness... First of all, I really enjoyed this panel! In fact, it was one of the best events of the weekend for me. Given, as mentioned above, the fringe/niche-ness of the subject and the likelihood that interested people have already seen much of what you had to show, you all managed to make the panel really fun and interesting. The discussion of roots in ukiyo-e and other Japanese art, and the progression from (especially) Yoshitoshi's work through the modern era to contemporary stuff -- all set in a coherent historical narrative -- was pretty

A kimono/haori/obi set from one of those vintage kimono vendors, and a hakama from the other. Also a really pretty obi for my gf. Managed to get really good deals on all that. A pair of the Chinese dragon Onmyodo sneakers, which I basically knew before leaving home that I wouldn't be able to pass up in the flesh.
