CherBear's Thoughts: SDCC 2017

So I will keep this short & simple mainly because I'll be discussing about San Diego Comic Con in a nutshell. New thoughts will be covered by next month including a schedule I've been meaning to implement until a change of pace in my lifestyle happens if or when that does.

So ...

Overall: My thoughts on SDCC 2017 was fun. Always stressful because having to deal with shuffling through easily 160k+ in attendance [ max @ 130k+ at the convention center ] but my group this year was more or less 3ppl so it wasn't stressful compared to prior years where I had a lot of ppl. Not to mention; I think I managed to cover more of the exhibitor floor then compared to years before.

Preview Night: Made a simple goal to touch Hall A's wall to Hall H's wall & I did. I was able to snap a bit of pictures but caught some celebs wandering the hall too which was cool. Lingered as long as I could even after the floor closed & there was so much room. Either way; even tho it was a late start into preview night, made it worthwhile.

Day 1: 1st day out of 4 where I took time to volunteer my time back into the con but in-between all that I scoped the floor most of the time. I think it was something I did actually miss doing even tho it seems like there's more & more people - but overall I tried to experience looking into every part of the con while I can.

Day 2: I think this was solo mode. I got to really people watch but spend time on the floor too. I think the nice part about this whole experience was the fact I was parking underneath the convention. So all my food & snacks were there so I wasn't exactly paying crazy prices of convention food.

Day 3: A more lazy day persay I was hanging out at the Masquerade line helping out some other friends who had came for that day to check out the con. Holding line position but I did manage to check out a fan panel & peek into the convention albeit briefly. I also did manage to catch Masquerade too.

Day 4: Last day & it didn't feel like it was dragging out. Went to the floor but spent more time around the volunteer area finishing up my time there. I had lots of fun. Granted it seemed a lil disjointed with misdirection, managing to help some lost people get around SDCC 2017 too either way. I look forward to next year since dates were dropped even before SDCC 2017 started & that's all I have to say about that.

CherBear's Thoughts: May + June + July 2017

Hello all!

It's been awhile - I haven't been posting over a month well my thoughts at least. Guess I've been busy but I will hopefully wrangle my thoughts the day of Preview Night of San Diego Comic Con 2017 so here we go!

-----

Game wise - not much; I've been playing more Audition Online than Touch, but past that, I've been drawing more too.

-----

Laptop wise; both are functioning fine - though I have a feeling I might need to look at getting a new tablet cuz my tablet malfunctioned yesterday but after proper restarting my laptop. Things seem to be okay for now - tho looking @ new tablets - low end I'm probably looking at $70.

In the process, I created & printed out 3 shirts w/ my artwork & met an announcement deadline. Pulled a lot of close calls but regardless - just glad its all out of the way & I'm ready for SDCC2017.

Other than that...oh! I went to Anime Expo 2017...did I mention that? Haha I enjoyed my time there for one day.

-----

I picked up my badge, got my food, snacks & drinks ready & all set to see how SDCC2017 will go. The group I'm going with is considerably smaller but its okay. I just look forward to the memories then after that...my schedule looks uncertain as I need to shift focus on other things.

As for my youtube channel [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSkM6Yvkf4z-psS4gE2cq4A/videos?sort=dd&view=0&shelf_id=0 ] - been posting once a week, been running a lil late on some weeks but trying to keep it consistent. There's been more subscribers which has been motivating me bit by bit also, I'm nearing 100 likes on my FB page: [ https://www.facebook.com/cherbearsketchbook ].

Here's a run down of past videos posted since the last journal:

I have a few more videos I can post up so I can goof off on not ending for a couple of more weeks but not too long or I won't have anymore to post on youtube...so hopefully I won't fall into that habit.

Also, posted enough artwork on deviantART to get me past SDCC2017 so rest assured there's at least that, will need to set aside time to make sure that's done.

As for my social media outlets...I will figure that out.

Either way, I'm looking to do a more solid schedule depending where things will go after SDCC2017.

-----

I'll try to recap my thoughts for each day but no promises.

-----

I'm sure I'm missing more but that just shows how much my mind has been all over the place. Will power through July then will see how August & afterwards will be.
