I have to say to http://plafulkatt.com/ Thanks for that video that came with it: http://plafulkatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Thank-you-Jane.mp4
I am sorry that your SLR was messed up that day. I am still crying tears of joy (and I don't cry very often). I am very touched by what you have put together here. This has been the most detailed blog that you have put together. The last one has to be in college, but this takes the icing on the cake.
I hope to meet up with you soon. I am so greatful to make your upset and frustating con into a really great comicon to attend. I hope to send in my volunteer services to Fan Expo next year (planning for 2013). If not Kato may make her return as cosplay character next year.
I hope to be around. I will be in the Toronto region for the www.lightthenight.ca walk. I am working till roughly 3:30pm and if you can't make it, we can meet up this weekend as well, if your schedule is free. Just tweet me.
I appreciate everything you put together and I am greatful to meet someone as detailed as you. I am very greatful to make your day from a real bad con to a enjoyable one.
Keep in touch and hopefully you will hear more about me in the future.
I have your blog on my top of my list to check out.

Struggles of life Series: The unknown bloggers
So being new to blogging in the last few years and a poetry writer and i know it is real hard for someone who just writes about music and the entertainment side of things. I never talk about anything else. I am offically going to share what life struggles to get through of being a new blogger is like. Wondering is this freelance based path is worth it all. We are just mostly retail people, trying to chase a dream to make it something out of nothing. Maybe some of us are unemployed looking for jobs. Or maybe we are just searching for that big break. Possibly be paid for it, is difficult if you don't get a degree with that.
I don't speak for all the bloggers around the world but the ones i have met. Most of my experiences are trying to make it like myself.
After being one of the youngest poetry unpaid writers for exposure in different stations in The States and Canada, i decided to take a long break from the scene of poetry writing, to come back and represent fan bases in 2002.
After that i took a brief break but returned to represent musicians and now most notably Keshia Chante.
As a up and comer blogger with some new people i dealt with i have learned most of us have saved money, only to go broke again just to cover events or locations that interest us, trying to struggle to get back on our feet.
I have wondered along how long and hard do we try to get somewhere. Well the answer to that is just keep writing something interesting for people to see.
Hopefully there is some answers i can figure out to fight it out to see what it can take it to the next LEVEL.
It is very difficult to being a unknown blogger but knows fan supporter and poetry writer; to admit the truth it has been a bumpy road for all types of bloggers.
We have our highs and lows. Our success does at times comes with our stubborness at times or our drive to do too many things, but I have to say we try hard to find our paths of where we want to go with our blogs.
The skies the limit!!!!!

Fan Expo 2011: 2 day attendance - The Q&A session attendance + more
FAN EXPO BLOG 2012
Day 1
I arrive there about 2pm after training it in the morning from doing errands from Don Mills station going directly to the Union Station so I can walk out to the Metro Convention Centre. After my arrival there I go directly and walk briefly around and decided to go to the Space booth to see host wise who was there. I see Cynthia Loyst (former host of Sex Matters on CP24) and we talked for a bit before getting a picture two times. It was really good to see her again and give her a hug. I enjoyed talking with her. After leaving that, I go directly to the room where they were hosting the Q & A for Flashpoint, I thought I wasn't going to get in. I just managed to get in since the crowd was moving all over the place in room 716 and with people not being able to get in everyone was pretty upset that couldn't get in. It made a lot of people upset, but what made it worse was those who didn't have stamps from the Q&A you couldn't get a general autographs from Spike, Sam and Leah Kerns if you didn't have wrist bands from there. Line up was a little messy though but not as bad Criminal Minds autographs session, which I will talk later in this blog. I didn't go to many Q&A's because they were overlapping and other events were too, so I stayed for the Flashpoint Q&A's. Being part of the Q&A session from Flashpoint was very informative and they gave a little taste of what the opening scene and I have to say it was very intense episode from the clip they showed. I am very excited to see the rest when it airs. After that I took the time to look around after the autograph session and the Question and Answer period to look around at Fan Expo as myself to check out the general scene but it was just too crowded to try to see everything. I totally skipped the artists ally with many comic artists around because I took the time to see what was going on the big giantic booths in the main areas of Fan Expo. Just to maneuver was a little too hard and getting lost in the crowd with many costumed people and famous booths around with crowded lines, it was pure insanity. I had to make sure though I got to see much of it although I know I didn't get to see it all. I kind of got lost in every direction and following the crowd.
I didn't take it all in and kind of didn't really prepare myself like I did last year to run and take photos and check out all the booths.
I just wanted to see the massive line ups and crowds from top to bottom, thinking where the heck am I going to go now?
So many costumes and cosplayers there I think they out did the normal looking people than I remember last year. I wish I could possibly take all the pictures in the world for that but I was spending the hours trying to just visualizing how long the line ups for the overlapping of other Q&As that day plus buying photo ops and autographs were way out of my budget but I did kind of had to spend on one which was Gillian Anderson for the Saturday shot. I couldn't resist to get a photo op with one of my heroic and favorite character Agent Skully from The X-Files: I couldn't resist spending money on not trying to even get a photo op with her for Saturday. I had to even on a strict budget couldn't pass up a opportunity I would regret if I didn't. Totally worth it!
All in all though Fan Expo on Day 2 and my first day there was totally worth it to see what was going on. I wish though the Q&As and autograph sessions need to stop overlapping because I hate missing certain ones because the rooms get too full and the line ups are just too CRAZY! I have to sacrifice every year though missing a lot of the Q&As I would like to go to all but each one is a hour and always the next ones start in 10 minute intervals... it seems to get madder every year. Booths everywhere, over crowding and crowd maddness with communication uncertainty, holy macro. Although I will return for 2013 to see how it turns out again. Hopefully I could be a volunteer there! Cause I have what it takes to help out with the madness!
Day 2
Early morning arrival to Fan Expo by driving down there. Arrival time around the early time 10:45am/11:00am. Gets ready to show up as my normal self. But changes when I get in the building officially after joining a line up in the Metro Convention Centre with a steady line of people in a buidling, thinking to myself "holy macro" what the heck? A line up, I had a better experience last year that I didn't have to go through this massive crowd, just go in, got your ticket, got your wrist band; walk up the stairs/escalator and that was it. Done. But lucky the line up was moving and stopping, and moving again. Although my second year back, I was thinking oh wow, I though what will next year be like???? *thinking far ahead*
Anyways as the day progressed the line up wasn't that bad, but it was just madness than the previous day. As soon as I walked through the sky walk part of the Metro Convention Centre, it was just CHAOTIC, more people than the previous day. I was glad I made more time of it though to come in as my normal self and then change after that to Kato (aka the sidekick of The Green Hornet). I don't think alot of people got who I was. It was real interesting with complex faces trying to get it, but once they figured it out, mostly guys just wanted pics of me. Hahahaha, that was a interesting day. I will make sure to come back as Kato since no one didn't seem to get it at first. And since no one got it right, I may have to return as Kato once again. I find it real funny that my legs got the most attention, hopefully I may return and help out as a volunteer and if not back as Kato. I am real glad to help out regular people and help out real good people at the expo because of the chaos there and less of crowd control. We will see what happens 2013.

The Season of Ms. Chante
It is no secret that Ms. Keshia Chante is back this season with her appearances on The Next Star, her many performances in Toronto and her recent appearance to BET 106 & Park as a guest host. She didn't get a proper intro the first time.
After the second time around she got more attention and a proper intro. From what i saw she had swag and class. I super enjoyed it.
Ms. Chante had not just brought it to 106 & Park but has her skills expand to her view as a host future wise to take her to then next level as a multi-talented musician but as an artist. It reminds me of Ameriie when she had a show but she is a stronger person and I think she can take her career to a next level because she "gets out of her own way" to progress herself into the business that shows that you need to be verstile because the music industry is a business that you have to learn how to have longevity in.
Ms. Chante is currently project wise as one of the judges on The Next Star (Season 5) and I hope she continues. It is impressive that she has many things going for her all at once. Her criticism is well appreciated. I enjoy watching her as a current judge and I think she has a bright future as a TV host besides a judge and asides trying to win her spot on 106 & Park with Kevin as a host.
Keshia Chante has a bright future ahead of her and I will be behind the scenes watching her progression as a musician and artist. Her acting career in Sketches In A Sunshine Mind has shown her talent in a role with many Canadians there.
Courtesy of Luvkcfansite: be look on the lookout for her with Elton John for a cause in Toronto for I believe aids.
Keshia Chante season isn't over but it just has begun. I cannot wait to see what she has more in store career wise and you'll see more blogging about her career as a long time fan.
Stay Tuned....

Summer Blog Version 3 - The Thompson Hotel
Good morning everyone,
So after a day of getting re-invited so suddenly I finally made it to the event with our house guest from San Jose. The beginning was alright to slowly arrive there. Parking wasn't so hard to find a place but more than lining up for a couple of hours to get on the patio, I thought it was ridicolous but after things were said and done, in the end it was worth it. After waiting for hours in line I finally get there & found out that it wasn't so crowded on the rooftop, there was ample amount of space there. I guess for crowd control they let a group of people in & out. But as a solo blogger I spotted Andrew, Phillip & one of the Jason's from 1 Girl 5 Gays there. I ask for multiple pics and I was real excited to have met them. After getting my pics with them, there was a professional photographer taking pics & got one more. After that I walked around to check out the view of Toronto. I have to say looking out from the rooftop was awesome. The view was stunning! After walking, I was surprised that news anchor from CP24/CP24 Breakfast Weekend Edition Pooja Honda was there. She gave me a hug and we talked for a bit.
The event re-invite was awesome. I love everything about it. The view was stunning. At the end of the day all worth just taking things in.
Thanks Thompson Hotels.

Summer blogging - Version 2
Pride Day.
So I attended Pride Day the very last day. It was very interesting. I got to see some things and watch some good lipsyncing performances. I was surprised that it was entertaining and just pure fun. There were many, many people there with food, displays, performances, party/dancing and protection. Lots of sexy situations and good looking pride guys for real. The night time had more fun with multiple concerts going on including Keshia Chante. It was supercharged and interesting. The TD stage had the most entertaining night of all with duty wining and just the Carribean feel to it.
Pride has to be the most fun I had doing for 2012.
Summer Blog - Version 1
Part 1: So this summer had brought me everywhere. Let's start off with early season of Canada Blooms. It was awesome because of the amazing floral arrangements and the Juno Rocks Gardens. Looking at the arrangements was awesome. I enjoyed walking around and taking it all in. I was searching to see if Royal Wood, Sarah Sleen & Keshia Chante were to be found but nope. I wanted to get a pic with all three, but miss them. Oh well... next event. Thanks Canada Blooms for a secret shopping enjoyment as well.
