Tonight was Cute Night 2.0. I was able to get a couple of new pics in and was even able to go this time! I also doubled the number of pictures taken this time around. TWO!!!! The show, as advertised, was very cute. It was also extremely funny. From the interpretive dance set to the Kids Bop version of Lady Gaga to one of the best songs about Chewbacca I’ve heard (Yes, I’ve heard more than one), It was all great. I’ll never look at the use of puppets as an educational aid the same way again.

I have to say a heart felt thank you to my sister Sara and The Beta Society. It was great meeting everyone and I’m really excited at the possibility of working with any or all of you again. This is what I love to do and having my work seen public as a part of something is without compare.

Cute Night wasn’t all I did tonight. A few years ago I did a small comic arc that involved the Care Bears. Those turned out to be some of my more popular comics, behind the Ryo comic, of course. Tonight, I posted a follow up to those featuring Brave Heart Lion. It’s been rattling around my head since I first finished the Care Bear comics and it just couldn’t wait any longer.

Here are the pics from tonight:

So… Yeah… Soon means months and months, right?

I feel like such a lazy dork. On the other hand, I’ve got the new comic posted! On the gripping hand, Sara’s been asked to see if I can contribute to another Cute Night! Always awesome. I’ve been a bit busy & distracted, so I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to contribute this time around, but I plan to do as much as I can. Everyone likes the Care Bear comics & I guess they were well liked at the last Cute Night, so I’m planning a follow up to those that I hope to have done in time. ^_^

On another note, I’ve got the domain PuddingNation.com and currently have a placeholder up. I was inspired to grab it & do SOMETHING with it after having my lower wisdom teeth out a few months ago. The problem is, I don’t have a clear idea of what to do. I’ve been thinking of collaborating with friends on a blog dedicated to our mutual interests. It would feature reviews, opinions, articles and comics. We may even start doing a weekly podcast. I welcome constructive & sincere opinions regarding this. Also, I’m toying with the idea of rolling AlmostOtaku.com into it & eventually retiring the AO domain. Any objections?
