Connecticon hosted its first ever Sailor Moon panel in 2010. + Lilly-Chan told us there would be a lot of Sailor Moon panels at Matsuricon, she'll likely be posting updates on her sites soon. Her original info was on her journal. In fact her journal recounts the past panels she has hosted with videos and the like across numerous cons. + News from Otakon????: Rumors and hopes continue to fly, but as there is no licensing news yet. Funimation indicated at Otakon that they still do not have the rights to Sailor Moon according to accounts on twitter. More updates coming soon!!! There's been a lot of Sailor Moon news out there ably picked up by other sites. It's just been hard to keep track of with the site update underway and all. Still soon will have more news. These sites have been tracking Sailor Moon News as well and do a better job than I do. Check them out!!

Adam Lambert comes to Foxwoods and blows the doors, doorways, and attached hallways off the MGM Grand. Orianthi and Allison Iraheta also performed splendidly. Read my short report about it and see the relatively mediocre photos of an awesome event as well. + The Rogues "A well regarded Celtic band who rocked the CT Ren Faire, and deserves a look." + Adelitas Way -"Introduced to me by their airplay on WCCC, Adelitas Way offers up the rock epic "Invincible", as well as other tunes includingthe solid "Scream"." + Simon Curtis-"His album 8-Bit Heart is an interesting and entertaining romp that likely will appeal to gamers and to non-gamers. It's good stuff!" + Bjorn Lynne-"An awesome composer who has produced a variety of quality tracks." [ Visit the Music Section for more! ]

Baka and Test is but one of many series Funimation makes available for streaming. (Baka and Test: ©2010 Kenji Inoue / PUBLISHED BY ENTERBRAIN, INC / Baka and Test Project ALL Rights Reserved.

The story follows the efforts of various crews and starships bearing the name Nadesico. It is a sci fi space opera with a major humor element. It also has a great soundtrack which is then enhanced in the movie. Both Nadesico and Utena feature soundtracks that do not change in a major fashion from TV to Movies. + Revolutionary Girl Utena: The TV Series [ANN Profile] is an interesting romp to say the least. Though the Movie messes with one's mind as well. Visually though both are a sight to behold, and the music features some of the best soundtracks ever produced. + Two series that are quite epic are Patlabor [ANN Profile], a series about mobile police mecha in the near future, with a comedic slant that makes it doubly good. Plus, GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka [ANN Profile], is the downright crazy adventures of an unlikely teacher and a class out to destroy him.

While the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango is easier to find, there is also a recent Japanese Live Action Version out there. Wikipedia has a bit on the series. Hulu has plenty of K-Drama including the excellent "Boys Before Flowers"

The art section will highlight art as often as possible. Marc McKenzie who has cool art style has also produced some memorable commissions, including Megatron and the Dinobots. Blair D. Shedd, a graduate of the well known Kubert school, has brought the awesomeness. I noticed him due to his stellar Ten Doctors piece. Monica Marinho has produced a variety of nice creations including a series of Sailor Senshi that was quite epic. There are a variety of art sites out there whether it be the massive compilation sites or artists' individual pages. Of course there is Deviantart and Sheezyart C-Tokyo for some time has linked to art pages belonging to con attendees and other various area residents in the geek sphere The Wadsworth Atheneum is an art museum in Hartford, CT The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is very likely what the name says it is.

Conan came through Mohegan Sun, took some pot shots at Uncasville and pleased the adoring fans that packed the Arena June 6th. The full C-Tokyo report is here. + George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" is an epic fantasy series that certainly takes things in an interesting direction. + It's not really news at this point but Nickelodeon has green lit a sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender called "The Legend of Korra". This will likely help blunt the negativity show towards the franchise following the live action movie. + EXOSQUAD is on HULU!
