In 3 days I went to Kentia Hall, Exhibit Hall, the Entertainment Hall, panel in Petree Hall, panel in Main Events + JW Marriott lobby, second floor waiting for Platinum Ballroom, and panel in Platinum Ballroom. I did not do any other events at #AnimeExpo
At the Exhibit Hall, there was a big difference in the readings at the Bandai Namco area between Day 1 and Day 3- it started off strong at around 800 to 900 ppm but by Day 3 it was consistent with the rest of the show floor at 1300 to 1400 ppm
Most of the Exhibit Hall show floor on Day 3 from 1pm to 3pm remained around 1400 - 1500ppm but this area in yellow outline seemed to get to 1700 - 1800+ ppm. I didn't go to the orange outline so I don't know how that was #AnimeExpo#covidsafetyAnimeExpo
Out of all of the areas on all days, the entire basement level had the worst CO2 measurements, including the lobby as well as the walkways and escalators to get to that basement level. The Artist Alley was the worst of the basement. #AnimeExpo#covidsafetyAnimeExpo
Best areas: JW Marriott and on Day 2, most all major panel rooms were around or below 850 ppm even with 80% capacity. Gotta keep those high profile guests safe! #AnimeExpo#covidsafetyAnimeExpo
Heading out from AX! The con promised a vax mandate and mask enforcement but I knew that I'd likely still be in danger. I decided that I'd at least like to know *what* level of danger at any given moment. Hopefully this has been helpful to folks. Stay safe #covidsafetyAnimeExpo

My spam texters live in a world of beauty and urgency, where with a recently met friend, the next day one can go to a wedding together, play ball, introduce themselves out of the blue
What if I was Melissa? and the new intriguing friend I met at the gallery opening would actually fly me to Mandy's shotgun wedding in Vegas. I don't even know Mandy. I'm just her dog groomer and I keep her teacup Pomeranian perfectly dyed into a rainbow panda. For the 'gram
What if I was Lina, and for months I had been secretly sneaking portions of the delicious gourmet lunches in the company fridge, in the beautiful bags marked "Alice"?
This year I feel like it's very true that nothing you spend time designing is ever wasted, it always ends up getting used later somewhere in a future project. E.g. here's a pic from the final photoshoot of my entry for metal plating design competition in design school
My POV was to play on the transformation power of masks (and that plating itself was a mask) Also I was broke AF so this was like $2 baling wire, the cheapest sheet metal I could find, and then stupid high amounts of labor overkill on my part
Then I did a performance footwear assignment on wushu martial artists, bc at that time it was up for consideration for the Olympics + I really liked how all the USA wushu folks that I found to interview were obsessively into transforming themselves to fit the culture of the sport
I got covid at the beginning of the month. Even 3x vaccinated, it was still a terrible, scary experience as what I thought was a run of the mill sinus infection got more and more painful. I wished that I had more anecdotes on ppl's experiences at the time. Here's how mine went
Bc I WFH, didn't leave the house for weeks, I knew that I had gotten infected Saturday, which I put as Day -3. -1 symptoms started happening. All week, temps of 65F. Suddenly on Day -1 it became 88F and I thought it was allergies. Quar just in case
Day 3 the Rapid Test that they tell you to wait 15 minutes for a reading flipped 2 lines for a positive almost immediately. Headache was so severe it made my inner ears, my eyeballs hurt as well! The sore throat was like the feeling of having received a first degree burn
