2011: Part 8 - Let's try that again

Part 8 - So last time I went to live in Adelaide I got spat out and spewed into a plane to Japan, well Sydney then Japan.  Anyways, this time it was moving into Adelaide for reals, well not really.

Roadtrip!
I've never had a change to go on an epic road trip but now was the time to properly pack up back at home and head over to Perth by car to drop of all my gear for real, as for why this wasn't done right before I moved, there was the intense timetable for Japan which Susannah had booked and then the ash cloud incident earlier in the year fucked things up.

Anyways, it takes around 2 days to get from Perth to Adelaide and we got to check out the sites along the way but unlike the beautiful mountain roads you see in Europe, it's just mostly dirt and a tiny town every 50kms or so, the actual driving is insanely boring as hell but Susannah was good company and we got to have a nice long talk about lots of little things, more or less confirming whether we were really perfect for each other.  We managed to make the trip within around 46 hours including a sleep at the border, which was really nice after being awake for around 18 hours or so and driving for the majority of it.  I also learned about the horrors that is Eyre Highway, aka. Nullabor, a 1200km road, it was boring as hell especially when Susannah slept a fair few bits throughout the trip.

AV-Con
I was preparing for things to get interesting here since AV-Con is known as one of the biggest and best cons in all of Australia, it would be interesting to see if it did live up to expectations and even though I was stuck in the Tokyo Hardcore booth for most of it, just wow.  It's mindblowingly big from what I've been used to with Wai-Con and I had a bit of fun in the short time exploring it, especially PWNing DDR in trap mode was lots of fun.  XD

Tokyo Hardcore
The reality was at AV-Con it was all about Tokyo Hardcore's soft launch, we had a good trip in Japan although nothing in terms of the brands was going to arrive in time so we just had to go buy what we actually bought in Japan and building up hype, it was a successful outing, in terms of making enough to start get some actual lolita brands in and preparing for the next phase of the launch at Manifest.
