And this is the "big accumulated convention swag" photoset!

Information about each thing and credits under the cut.

Used copy of Eternal Ring (PS2). I really loved what I saw of this game when I watched a Twitch streamer called Spaceyeen play it, so for $10 I figured it was an OK impulse buy to add to my PS2 collection.

Digimon TCG booster pack. I honestly did not know they had released this in the States, it will be interesting to compare it to the decades old ones I had from the early 2000s. Do plan to open it tomorrow, or some other time.

Bunger my Beloved! Same booth where I got the Chainsaw Man stickers. IIRC the booth name was "Etsakos Confections" but I can't seem to find anything by that name through web search? (If you know the artist's online shop/link please let me know!)

Reusable sticker book, by LeSpiritDesigns @ Etsy! My goal for the convention was to get one or two of these, needless to say the goal was achieved.

Chainsaw Man art print by @/okinpulu (IG), with some cute little stickers by @/katco.studio (IG)

Dead by Daylight keychains of Claudette and Cheryl/Heather and acrylic standee of the Wraith! Artist is @/cleromancy.works (IG)

Sanji One Piece Acrylic standee! The artist (Estrellita Art) and I had a lot of fun chatting about our mutual chef crush.

Cute Baphomet stickers from SanjiCraft @ etsy!

Stickers with cool vibes, unfortunately found out later the artist has some blockchain/NFT work because we live in such a world.

Thank you Anime Riverside 2023 for the very fun time!

HOW AM I A TRAITOR I HAVE BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE FOR THE BUNGER. BUNGER HAS A RECOGNIZEABLE DESIGN AND NOTABLE FEATURES AND AUTOMATICALLY YOU WILL THINK "Ah! A bunger! A bug who is also a Snack! A bug snack! A burger beetle! Waow.." THIS GUY WHEN I SEE HIM HE IS RECOGNIZEABLE BUT ALSO. BUNGER IS MORE MARKETABLE. REGARDLESS OF BEING A FAN OR NOT YOU WANT THAT CUTE LITTLE GUY. I GUESS YOUR GUY(?) IS COOL TOO BUT ID BE TOO WORRIED TO BUY MERCH OF HIM BECAUSE I DONT KNOW THE LORE. ALSO BUNGER IS COOLER. You don't need to be in the target audience to want bugsnax. Everyone loves it. Also bunger is boingy. I am no traitor because I never set my foot upon that fandom. I remain gazing your gameplay as I chuckle and sigh, knowing that MY GUY won the tournament. You are frail compared to me. Only 31% of the votes? Pathetic you are. Get Good.

I DID IT LADS

I EARNED THE BUNGER

for context, my bf had a deal with me where if I didn't double down on anything self deprecating that I said (aka if I make a self deprecating joke thats OK as long as I acknowledge it isn't true, but a full insult isnt allowed) he'd buy me the bunger plushie

I lasted 3 months - definitely earned that bunger. I'm so proud of myself!!!!

[semi-sketchy]

Did you ever regret kinztube or feel embarrassed by it? Just when I finally found confidence to do it I felt too old znd embarrassed, and then that coppa stuff kind of killed it anyways. Hope kinztube questions aren't annoying 😅

I know I'm the odd ball here, but not really. I do get embarrassed whenever I hear from one of my mom's friends and they're like "your mom sent me some videos you made with stuffed animals! They were cute!" Although I never get that "I'm too old for these things" kind of embarrassment.

Webkinz (and stuffed animals in general) are something that's been a constant in my life. I had Beanie Babies as a kid, Webkinz as a teen and now as an adult, I'm still buying plush merch (I will buy that plush Bunger once I get another paycheck). I see many adults that still love plushies and there's never been anything wrong with that.

Making videos with them is a bit of a different story, but in my case, they're either just actors I don't have to pay or a cute focal point for the camera. I'm a little controlling in my creative work, but being able to make my voice sound how I want and get the physical actions at least close to how I envisioned it makes Webkinz easier than working with actual people and has the added bonus of not requiring friends.

For me, this stuff has never been much of an issue, but I've also never really faced bullying over it. Sure, I've gotten the occasional "grow up and stop playing with toys" comment, but that's very different from actual in-person bullying. I certainly don't introduce myself by announcing I have over 400 stuffed animals in my closet or that I have a YouTube channel featuring them, that'd just be a big target on head. Maybe others have a different mindset than me, but I don't think you have to tell someone everything about you, you're allowed to keep things you want to yourself.

In general, I don't regret KinzTube. I had a lot of growing up to do and sadly plenty of it was on public display, but I don't know if I would've learned these lessons without it. There are many things I wish I did differently, but joining and making videos as a whole is not a regret.

KinzTube is a hobby, a creative outlet. It may be small, but many are around your age and I assure you, there are lots who feel the same as you.

The world is experiencing difficult times. New situations. The moment is to reinvent ourselves, to show solidarity and to look at each other. The word of the time is union.

The daily lives of professionals from different areas of dance also became a routine until yesterday unknown to themselves. Schools closed, teachers at home, rehearsals, performances and festivals canceled and many plans postponed. After the announcement of the Covid-19 virus pandemic also arrived in Brazil, the understanding came that no sooner would be where they should be, so the lives of schools and dancers started to happen suddenly and even disorganized, but in fact it was just a reflection of this situation, but along with all that, positive expressions of support for dance throughout Brazil.

“I believe that the positive side of this crisis is that people started to look inside, they saw that we are the same, and that we can live with less in a vibration of peace, tranquility. I think it was necessary to turn off the autopilot. When was the last time you saw the sunset or even looked in the mirror and saw every part of your body? The negative is that we are not used to planning, so the financial life is shaken because we will face a recession and it is necessary to have strategies that differentiate you in the market to survive. Dance schools need this. With utmost urgency ”, explains Marcela Benvegnu, journalist and researcher in the dance area. Adriana Assaf is the director of Cia Paulista de Dança in addition to the school that bears her name, and says that despite all the difficulties of the moment the segment is united. “I am the director of a technical dance school and a professional company, so my follow-up is really paralyzed, because our reality is the classrooms with dancers moving around. The shows and dance competitions are also stopped. We had a season of presentations at the Sergio Cardoso Theater (SP) that is canceled until further notice, so all forms of dance shows are in this situation worldwide, as they are events that involve many people ”, he concludes.

Ballerina and artistic director of Bravo! Ballet also located in the capital of São Paulo, Ana Yazlle classes were suspended from his school on March 17, as he followed the guidelines of the State Government to face the challenges related to the Covid-19.

“In my opinion and within my relationship circles, there was a union of dance professionals. Partnerships, in any sector, strengthen brands, people and companies. As soon as we started our remote classes, several schools asked for tips on how to get started too, and we were able to share a little bit of what we are experiencing. The moment is one of union, we are all together facing very similar problems ’, explains Ana.

In the midst of so many changes, each segment has respected and supported itself, be it a school, company, dancer, brand or festival, and at this moment, everyone sees the negative side, but the positive has united the majority. “Everyone is coming together, it is not the time to think about who is better or worse, it is the time for each one to disclose the work of the other, and especially to make it easier for us to be seen by agencies and parents of the family, many of whom need a monthly fee for survive, ”explains dancer and choreographer Luan Rattacaso, also a dance teacher at the traditional Isadora Duncan school in Campo Grande MS founded and directed by Neide Garrido. “As an artist, the positive was to realize that we really are important within each of its functionalities. In turn, the negative is the same, since most of us work informally, even inside a school, the work is informal, that is, we are paid within what we produce, and if it doesn't happen we have no revenue. ” Concludes Luan.

Shamara Bacellar she is a professional dancer, ballet and HathaYoga teacher and has also adapted not only to the situation of schools, but also to the 100% online routine. “I believe that, like many universes, the online proposal has been the biggest one at the moment. The expectation is that new materials are always presented so that there is more interest from the public. The school where I practice has made a move so that students who can afford not to pay tuition fees, so they continue to partially pay teachers and generate online content. I have been giving private lessons to my students on the Zoom app and also to new students who felt encouraged to start a practice at this moment ”, explains Shamara who completes. “We have to look at the real needs of each one, we spend a lot of time putting energy into things, people or places instead of focusing on ourselves, our bodies, minds and emotions”. All markets without exception are exposed to this situation, and it has been no different for Rio entrepreneur and digital influencer Carol Lancellotti.

“As a content producer and photographer, I lost several clients – two dance schools included, but the clients I serve online gave me a segment, fortunately. As a digital dance influencer, she has been very positive. I'm creating even more content and reconnecting like never before with my followers, after all, they're all online and thirsty for more information and exchange. I postponed some appointments and my on-site workshop. But I still haven't postponed my group trip to Russia, the MP Ballet Tour. As it will only happen in October, I still have a lot of hope that things will get better by then. The group, of 10 women who will travel with me, are still waiting and no one canceled the vacancy. I also focused on my products and services for online. I'm going to teach a Digital Marketing class for a super affordable price and I launched an e-book that was already very well received. He talks about dance and photography and teaches people to photograph themselves better, especially at home ”, explains Carol. For Laura Burity, seeing the positive side even in the negative is a tip. She is a lawyer, dance lover, dancer and also an entrepreneur in the field, as well as a digital influencer with her YouTube channel. “I see a lot of positive sides even in the negative ones. I think it's a new moment for everyone, a moment of self-evaluation, of turning to ourselves, of self-knowledge. There are people today, aged 30, 40, 50, who have never been forced to live with themselves, I think this has been a great moment for each of us. In addition, I think that this “disconnection” changes many values, changes the environment, changes our worldview, our priorities. Undoubtedly for the economy it is and will be a difficult time, for dancers and teachers it is a cruel moment, most people think about classes, which they will not receive, so they stop paying, and schools are definitely closing. This is absurd pain. It is an immense loss. But I also believe that the market is able to adapt. I talked about classes and lectures on dance online four years ago, everyone condemned me, today all teachers and artists need to look for ways to reinvent themselves and online is becoming more and more necessary, ”he explains.

“I have many work fronts. With my e-commerce @naspontasloja, sales dropped a little. Without ballet classes, people do not consume as much, in addition to reducing or cutting many salaries, which makes “accessories” increasingly superfluous. So I'm trying to focus on long-lasting products that are for any moment in life, that are worth buying now. In my communication portal, @naspontas, I felt an increase in content consumption and increased the creation of it as entertainment, exercises, movements to make #emcasa, etc., so I think people are actually having more time , disposition and even need for it. Now as an employee of the multinational I work for, things got slower, work hours and wages reduced all over the world until we passed this moment of crisis ”, concludes Laura.

For the first dancer at the Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro, Claudia Mota, who recently arrived from Europe and is in isolation, the moment is no different, but he also has the opinion that all of this is serving for unity in the dance world here in Brazil. “The good thing is that we are all in one thought and objective. Staying at home at the moment has, after all, been enriching. We can do a self-analysis of who we are, what we need to live and how important we are to others and dependent on them too. In the end, we are all the same, regardless of anything. As a dance professional, I have been sharing moments with people I admire and meeting others, trying to stay in shape with virtual ballet classes with so many amazing people, all via the internet. The downside, in my case, is that I came from a European trip and I still have to be in isolation for two weeks. It has been difficult to stay away from my family, but I believe that many other people are going through much more complicated situations than mine. ” Claudinha also hopes that none of this will be lost and that so many connections created will remain. “This experience of sharing all this with those we admire and with those who follow our work has been incredible! I hope that when all this is over, we can continue these movements that brought so many people together in such a wonderful way. Sometimes I have the impression that we are the only ballet company in the world, it is wonderful ”, concludes the dancer.

For the dance researcher Marcela Benvegnu, crisis is an opportunity and it stands out. “The crisis is a time of (re) invention, of thinking about priorities and not only asking questions, but answering many of them. Crisis is an opportunity. What can I offer the market? How will the dance school do on your return to keep this client? I believe and I hope that in the return to normality we will be more humble and, above all, empathic ”, concludes the journalist who today will make a Live at 21h on Instagram of @unidospeladancadiretores for free.

Faced with so many similar events and situations experienced by the dance following throughout the country, professionals and directors of Brazilian schools Devanir Antolini, André Gama, Cristina Morales, Daniela Alonso, Debora Cabral, Helo Gouveia and Mavi Chiachietto joined forces and created the movement # unitespeladança. “The # unidospeladança is a collective, spontaneous and collaborative movement, formed by directors of dance schools and institutions that have dance as their main activity throughout the national territory. Weeks ago we saw all dance schools closing their doors, all of them! So we decided to help ourselves in that group. In it we talk about the belief (or lack thereof) of virtual classes, technology tools, tuition fees, possible losses and other matters relevant to what we are going through.

At a certain moment, we understand that, despite these dark times, we are generators of beauty and we choose to raise the vibration and bring messages of harmony to the external environment through what we know how to do very well, the dance.

We started with the creation of positive posts so that we could cheer our students and make them feel close to us, until we arrived at making videos with the directors, special people, beautiful and full of hope that we will emerge strengthened from this period. The love message emitted by the free expression of their bodies touched the hearts of other people.

The intention is to continue producing positive content and, in an organized way, to map the common needs among the directors of dance schools during and after the pandemic ”, concludes one of the directors Mavi Chiachietto.

And when does all this pass? What will we do? Ballerina Ana Yazlle leaves her message that we are not only positive, but united.

“We reinforce the feeling that the dancer is more resilient, flexible, creative. Who can reinvent himself and dance wherever he is. I'm sure we will come out strengthened and inspired. What the world is going through is a great lesson, and we can turn it into art, when everything is over. We use it as a motto at Bravo! Ballet, “separated yes; never stopped ”. The dancer standing still is sad. So we just can't be together now, but we need to dance. And dancing just happens. In the living room, in the bedroom, in that corner of your isolation. Dance overflows, doesn't it? ”.

Three Friends Revive an Abandoned Firebird and Road Trip it 2,000 Miles

Every once in a while we come across a story that inspires us to want to go on an adventure, and this is one of those tales. Jon Bunger, from Eastern Iowa, never forgot the day he first laid eyes on a second-gen Firebird languishing away under a tattered car cover while visiting a friend in Southern California. Right away, he spotted the traction bars and headers, his mind filling with visions of sliding around corners like Burt Reynolds with a cowboy hat and a stolen bride riding shotgun. Despite the faded, light blue exterior, a closer look revealed fenders and underpinnings free of the Iowa rust he was accustomed to. The car turned out to be a 1975 Firebird Esprit- a bug eyed redesign stuck in between the sleek lines of a 1973 and the iconic 1977 that gave Buford T. Justice so much trouble in Smokey and the Bandit. The cracked blue vinyl of the interior was littered with spares, the inner fenders tossed to the side, and many modifications were clearly done in an era where disco was king. With other plans that afternoon, he didn’t investigate any further, but asked a friend to give the owner his number and tell him that he was interested in that car.

This is the car that Jon Bunger couldn’t help but buy, a 1975 Firebird Esprit with a faded light blue paint job, he thought was a steal at $1,000.

A week or two passed and just when he had nearly forgotten about the car, the owner gave him a call. Apparently he hadn���t driven the Firebird in several years—after throwing ignition and fuel parts at it, the car had declined to start, so he it was left to sit. The car wasn’t listed for sale, but Jon was told that a mere $1,000 would do the trick to get the car out of the man’s driveway, and the wheels in his mind began to turn. Sporting its original 2-barrel Rochester carb and sitting on dry rotted tires 2,000 miles away, he needed that Firebird like he needed a hole in his head. However, a conversation with friends Aaron and Emily Reeves about a week later hatched an ambitious plan. Aaron told him “Emily and I have invested everything into adventure and experience of life.” That simple philosophy stuck in Jon’s mind. Sure—this Firebird didn’t have T-tops, a fire breathing 400, or the black and gold paint job that got Sally Field into the passenger seat, but it came with the opportunity to live out the kind of story you tell your grandchildren. Without a second thought, Jon dialed the owner to inform him that—although he didn’t have any plan logistically or financially—he would be purchasing his car and putting it back on the road.

The car was a little rough around the edges after spending years baking in the California sun, but compared to the rusty piles he was used to in Iowa this thing was pure gold with solid bones.

At this point he could have done what any sane person might have done, getting the car shipped the 2,000 miles to his house just to have it sit for five more years in a different spot, but that didn’t have the flair he was looking for. Come hell or high water, he needed to drive this car home, on a shoe-string budget, in under a week. Having zero experience with Pontiacs and a very strained relationship with carburetors, he sought out the help of a stranger from the internet named Vladimir Zagumenny. Certain people live for a chance at adventure no matter how ill-advised they may seem, and Vladimir, a YouTuber and Pontiac aficionado was just that kind of fellow. He immediately agreed to fly to California and lend a hand. The wheels were in motion, this car was going to cross 2,000 miles of American highways and byways, no matter what it took.

Inside, the interior was dry and crusty, but relatively complete. With some sketchy wiring, they were able to get an ignition switch rigged up inside the car.

With a laundry list of issues, the Firebird was a long way from the Trans Am Jon had dreamed of owning as a kid, but it was what he could afford, and sometimes that’s all that really matters. It didn’t even have the graphics he had fallen in love with watching the antics of Burt Reynolds on the silver screen with a screaming chicken on the hood of his chariot. This problem was to be solved by another YouTube personality—Matt Henry, from Imperial Beach, California, who offered to hand paint the graphics he wanted on the car. So with plane ticket in hand and a carry-on filled with zip-ties, duct tape, and a whole lot of optimism, Jon boarded a plane bound for So-Cal. He had shipped four tires, a carb rebuild kit, and a slew of various other spares to the location of the car leaving everything else needed to get the car going to be resolved by ingenuity and a little bit of luck. Armed with some wire, carburetor cleaner, and a small tool kit, Vladimir, Matt, and Jon met for the first time in the driveway where the car resided and immediately set about troubleshooting the issues they could find.

All the work on the car was done with the car parked on the street just outside the house of the owner they purchased it from, surely making the neighbors quite curious.

Initial inspection revealed every bit of the ignition system was brand new, along with a new fuel pump, and a key that was permanently stuck in the column. A properly butchered hot-wiring job brought the starter back to life and revealed that no spark was coming from the distributor. After swapping in a new HEI module, checking the oil, and crossing their fingers, they squirted some starting fluid into the carb and turned the key. Much to their surprise, it sputtered and coughed, meaning they had spark. That previously installed, brand-new HEI module was all that had kept the car dormant for years. So they drained the gas tank, cleaned the carburetor, and swapped on the new tires they had the car ready just in time to hit up HOT ROD and In-N-Out’s 70th anniversary celebration happening in Pomona that weekend. 

Under the hood was a Pontiac 350ci engine that was certainly dirty, and a little worn out, but it fired up with minimal effort and seemed to run decent enough to get them home.

Due to a malfunctioning accelerator pump, the car sputtered and stalled the whole way there, but they managed to make the hour-long drive to Pomona, proving the car might just have enough life left in it to get them home. They spent all day hanging out at the show with thousands of cars on display and plenty of drag racing action taking place on the historic track. Matt took this opportunity to start lettering the spoiler—The Surfin’ Bird—since the previous owner and Matt were both surfers. After walking miles of cars and meeting lots of great people it was almost time to pack up and get ready for the long drive, but not before one more surprise. Standing at the stage, they watched and applauded as priceless cars and their owners won hard earned awards. When the editor on stage began telling a story about a car rescued from its grave just days before the show as they called Jon’s name giving him an Award of Excellence for “Most Roadkill car at the event.” They had turned a broken car into a road trip machine, made the event, and won an award from HOT ROD at their 70th anniversary. Now all they had to do was make it back to Iowa.

Jon is pictured here on the left holding the award we gave them at the HOT ROD 70th anniversary celebration with Vladimir on the right.

Their last day in California was nothing short of a mad thrash. They had a hood to paint, a nest of wiring to relocate, and an accelerator pump problem to fix. Matt set to work sketching the fire chicken for the hood by hand, Vladimir pulled the carburetor again, and Jon got to work fixing leaks and whatever other problems he could find. A close inspection unearthed the carb issue. An incorrect gasket from years prior had the accelerator pump completely blocked, so they swapped on the correct one, and before they knew, it the car was transformed. The spoiler was installed, the hood sported a one-of-a-kind screaming chicken, and they were ready to hit the road. After saying goodbye to Matt and their other new friends in So-Cal, they were off! With no heat, no backup plan, and all their hopes hung on a 43-year-old car, they had a 2,000-mile trip ahead of them.

Matt Henry painted this fire chicken on the hood using only masking tape and spray paint which really stands out against the faded paint.

Over the course of the next two days, Jon and Vladimir took shifts in the passenger seat wrapped in a sleeping bag for warmth. Neither one ever really slept for fear the other might doze off. The car did well and they visited the Grand Canyon as well as Meteor Crater in Arizona, melted and fixed a few wires in New Mexico, and finally made it to Vladimir’s family in Nebraska just a day before Thanksgiving. As if rescuing one car wasn’t enough, Jon and Vladimir set about reviving yet another neglected Pontiac- his 1968 Firebird with a 461ci stroker that had been sitting for a year and a half. Armed with a fresh battery and some yellow old gas, yet another neglected hot rod roared to life before Jon made the rest of the trek to Iowa.

They also attached a spoiler to the car using a piece of cardboard as a template for where to drill holes in the deck lid of the car.

 Looking at it now, Jon realizes the struggle is what makes the car so special, saying, “It isn’t the sleek Trans Am I had wanted since I was a child; it is something much better. The Surfin’ Bird is a time capsule for all the places it has gone and will go. It’s a time machine that takes me back to hours spent turning strangers into friends and miles into memories. It’s a car that doesn’t just take me places—it makes me feel something while I’m getting there. At the end of the day, my Firebird isn’t special to most people, but it still brought people together making memories that will last a lifetime, and that’s what hot rodding is all about.”

As the sun set on their final day in California, all that was left was to load up their tools and hit the open road with 2,000 miles to get home.

Matt Henry drove his Mustang, which he calls the “Punish Stang,” up from San Diego to help out and paint the graphics on the car.

On the way back to Iowa, they stopped and also revived Vladimir’s 1968 Firebird that had been sitting in a storage yard for over a year.

Here is a vintage photo that the previous owner dug up of himself with the car complete with surf boards strapped to the roof.
