Sometimes after I'm finally done with working on pages, I forget about doing anything else with them. That was the case with the past 2 months. It didn't occur to me to post/upload these until I got my March kit from Studio Calico (oops). Anyway, here they are.

This past weekend, I woke up early on Saturday morning to participate in Returning Registration for this year's SDCC. As usual, my friends and I got on a conference call and waited for our fates with the spinning blue circle of doom (AKA the virtual waiting room for badges). Last year I got a 4-day first, then upgraded to 4-day with Preview Night during Open Registration. I wasn't so lucky getting in early enough to get badges for others, but majority of my group came out with a few 4-day with Preview Night (myself included thanks to one of them) and 4-day badges. The rest were mainly Thursday & Sunday since that was all that were left after over a half hour online. The process for all of us went rather smoothly, with most of our badges being purchased within 10-20 minutes after 9:00 am. I can rest easy for now, but after Open Registration next month, I'll have to plan out my list for the hotel sale. Luckily I won't have to worry about having to get a parking permit...

Nintendo released their latest console today. Last weekend, The Nintendo Switch Preview Tour made a stop in San Francisco. Here attendees got a first look and a hands on opportunity with the gaming system. The event was first opened for 2 days to invite-only attendees, and the last day welcomed the public on a first-come first served basis. My mind wasn't completely made up yet about investing in this console prior to the event. Would seeing the Switch in person sway my decision to actually purchase one? Let's find out. I registered for the first day of the Switch Preview Tour, which meant I'd be among the first group of attendees to see the console. Was I excited? Heck yeah! I already knew a handful of friends had pre-ordered or planned to by the Switch, so it was a must that I saw for myself if it was worth the hype. Once my ticket was scanned and a staff member handed me a freebie, I was on my way. A few more staff members were lined up on each side...
