2012 was a busy year for me. My con schedule was

Wonder Northwest,  Multi Genre geek 26 to 27 Mar

Kumoricon, Anime 1^st though 3^rd September

The Otaku over 25 panel  I hosted grew from 35 to over 55 attendees.

Rose city Comic Con, Comic industry general pop culture,  8^th – 9^th September

(My return to ) Rainfurrest, Furry, 27 through 30 September

Orycon, Science fiction, 2^nd – 4^th November

NewCon PDX multi-genre (anime, sf, fantasy) 29 -30 December

Except for Rainfurrest all other conventions were at Portland / Vancouver WA area. It had been a record breaking year. I also have gotten a reputation as the crazy guy with the big Hello Kitty plushie.  There been some hitches including a car break-in where my giant Hello Kitty was stolen.

2013 convention planning

I am sticking local this year, with 19000 in debt and loss of job in May I not condition or desire to travel out of region. In addition to keep within a budget, I do not see to attend any every out of state furry con.

I will attend Wonder Northwest, a day at Steam Con (steam punk), Orycon, Kumoricon, and Newcon. I will do the Otaku over 25 panel and will work on a Fury 101 / furry in anime panel for  Kumoricon; there may be an opportunity for a furry panel at Orycon and NewCon.  Rose City Comic-con is a wild card; the news is they are partnering with Emerald City Comic Con. On the plus it will being a truly comic con to Portland, the bad is high price to attend, long lines, and $100 if one want an autograph con, I may give it a pass. I like when the geek con keeps it local, it is why we need Wonder Northwest and NewCon.
