This year’s Connecticon was amazing. We met some great people, and partied hard! Unfortunately for my site, I lost about 50% of my photos in a horrible memory card accident. I will be trying my hardest to get a new camera for our next convention, Otakuthon, in August.

I do have the surviving pictures, and will be uploading them shortly!

UPDATE!

The photo gallery has been uploaded! Check it out here: http://fleathemagician.com/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=28

Shortly after Posting about going to PAX East, my life got sent into a bit of a tailspin. One of my best friends died while I was at the convention. The weekend after that I had obligations to staff Anime Boston (which is why there was no coverage from that convention this year). Shortly after that, my godmother passed away. Then my mom and I were forced out of our home and had to move (which thankfully went smoothly thanks to some great friends, many of whom have helped out with the site). The last bit of news that hit my family hard was the death of my grandmother on May 27th.

With all this pain and suffering, I am looking forward to happier times in the form of Connecticon (Connecticut, July 9-11), Otakuthon (Montreal, Aug 13-15) and Another Anime Convention (New Hampshire, Oct 15-17).

Our GRAND RE OPENING will be for CONNECTICON! I just confirmed our Hotel reservations for the weekend and we are ready to go!

Check out our CONNECTICON 2007, CONNECTICON 2008 and CONNECTICON 2009 galleries, and we hope to see you there!

Our Connecticon Photo Gallery is up. Be sure to check it out by clicking here, or the picture above. And remember to keep a look out for our first podcast featuring me and Phil!

Connecticon has come to an end, and I think we can all agree that it was a great time. Our photo gallery will be up soon for you all to enjoy. And thanks to our ace reporter Phil, we have some very special interviews with some of the comic and webcomic guests from the convention, so keep on the lookout for those in the near future.

Congratulations to the lucky people who received some of the first FleaTheMagician.com merchandise which included dog tags and a pretty bitching blow up shark (seen above)

Some special shout outs to the entire nerdfit crew, sketched out life, and everyone we got to meet at the convention, it was a great time!

If you would like to trade links, please contact me at TSFlea@gmail.com or post here, I would love to affiliate with you!

Connecticon may be over, but there is much more in store. Check back for our webcomic interviews, photo galleries, and in November ANOTHER ANIME CONVENTION takes New Hampshire on an epic quest!

If you like American Idol, which I hope some of you do, please check out my other site at http://www.Idol360.org where you can find not only the latest Releases from American Idol artists past and present, but also rare and hard to find music from favorites like Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert, and Kris Allen.

Thanks for visiting!
