A couple weekends ago I went to Sacramento to ring in the New Year, celebrate my birthday, and attend SacAnime Winter 2016! So, Happy New Year to all! I hope you all had a safe and happy NYE, however you celebrated. I also wish everyone a great 2016 and hopefully it's been great so far for everyone!

My NYE was pretty chill and relax. I went out with friends to have sushi at Osaka in downtown Sacramento. - I highly recommend this place if you're in the area and you enjoy sushi.

Day 1 of SacAnime Winter was good. I spent the entire day at the con and walking around. I saw a lot of great art, artists, and vendors. I also was able to get in touch with people I have met at previous cons. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from Day 1 though.
In the picture above is myself with my friends, who also happened to be artists at SacAnime. They came out to celebrate my birthday after Day 1.

Day 2 was a little better, in terms of picture taking. I made sure to take pictures! The first thing I did when I walked into the convention was stand in line to meet Irene Bedard! It was also the actual day of my birthday.
FYI: For those who may not know, Irene Bedard is the voice of Pocahontas in the Disney animated version.
Pocahontas is my favorite Disney Princess! Up until the movie came out, Jasmine was my favorite, but when Pocahontas came out it was all over! She was it for me! I found her version in the movie so inspiring! I love the music from the film too! It was awesome to be able to meet the woman who brought her to life! It was a nice birthday gift from Agent Afronaut!

It's always great to see Melody Wang, aka Chukairi, at conventions! She's become a really great friend of mine and I happen to admire her work oh-so-much!

Had the opportunity to see this amazing cosplay by Anna Greenwood as One Punch Man! Seriously, AMAZING!
[myself with Kyndall Jordann as Marceline]
I was just walking by and happened to see a girl sitting there that looked exactly like Marceline! It was great to meet Kyndall Jordann! She was a sweetheart and she looks like a living version of Marceline! Also, we were totally boot twins!
[myself with Chris Cartwright]
And when I saw this adorable Pikachu cospaly I ran right up to him! Chris Cartwright did an amazing job and was so sweet! Hope to bump into him again at future cons!
Well, overall I had a great time at SacAnime and celebrating my birthday. It was a little slow and definitely slower than the SacAnime Summer I attended in 2015, but it was a very early con and right after the holidays. Not to mention it was during NYE, so that probably slowed down the con. However, I met a lot of great people and reconnected with familiar faces, and had fun! It was a nice start to the convention-going for 2016! See you all at WonderCon next!
