Right now AnimeCon.org/Chrono LC CEO Ryan Kopf (who runs Anime Midwest, Animinneapolis, Meta Con, Con Alt Delete, Yoi Con, and several other events) is suing me in the state of Illinois over articles I wrote about him on my geek news site Nerd & Tie. Please consider contributing to my legal fund so I can continue to fight this case. Trae's Blog

Because that would be weird.
That’s a rather interesting pattern on the carpet.
It’s from a real ugly hotel carpet
What is it about hotels and having ugly as shit and often migraine inducing carpet patterns?
It may just have to do with the limited pattern options for high traffic carpets. That and design fashion changes faster than the carpets wear out.
Given that most convention center carpets are rather ugly I believe it is intentional and is due to some marketing/hotel management dogma, such as the idea that a disinteresting carpet will make you interact more with people and therefore have a better time at the wedding reception, convention, or meeting you are attending.
@KORfan – given that most conventions and conferences destroy lots of furniture and carpets solely by its traffic, managers may do their best to get rid of the worst carpets in hotel and change them after con to more tamed designs (like these now popular little yellow squares in corners of imaginary big squares, that whole on bordeaux bg). You can always hope that you finally destroy it and next time will get no migraine from deep purple x bright green galaxies 😀
So… any anime in particular that they’re talking about?
Any and all of them (based on manga that has at least three volumes)
I’m guessing Wage Project
I just noticed that Rick the blond cop was in the same cop that talked to Phil a couple cons back when a congoer was trying be Batman.
Yep.
Always fun to be in the hotel lobby and seeing an arrest. It’s even better when its 7am and you’re just sitting there, drinking coffee waiting to go head to the con to work, watching a HEAVILY drunk man resisting arrest and trying to go back to sleep on the couch. Felt kind of sad no one else was awake to enjoy this with me.
