To get to the good stuff, use the sidebar links. There's not much up here yet, but there will be within the next few days. Expect a lot of text until pictures get posted up sometime over Anime Central 2005 and Fanime 2005 weekends. I want to get some recent at-con cosplay pictures, and will probably be enlisting the help of some more well-known cosplay photographers out there, or one of you out there to snap a picture while I'm in costume.

News 2005.6.25: completed, in progress, and upcoming projects (Formerly “future”) sections are beginning to take shape, after a few false starts. Of note is that the upcoming page is currently in an early revision, but at least my current costumes are listed. Pictures and text are currently being generated, by hand, in the time-honored method. Frankly, I'm bored, Anime Asylum's event in Fremont today probably isn't going to happen, but I'm crazy enough to head out there anyway for a couple hours. If I hook up with other stragglers, and we do something, it's cool, otherwise, there's always something that needs to be done here at R3 central, like... clearing out space in the rooms in the back of the house for... costumes I need to get done in time for Ani-Magic this fall!

Wee Hours Of 2005.6.25 Update: The initial draft of the links page is now online. I'm not aiming to be as broad as Usagichan Company, or even Widya Santoso's link page, but I've put up links to folks I know and resources I've frequented. Con links will come later, if at all.

As always, you can get here directly by http://redskies.raider3.com, which should be active by the time you see this. The web address http://www.raider3.com/redskies is currently hard-coded and will work regardless of the situation, so fall back to that if the new URL doesn't work for you yet.

Anime Central and Fanime are long since over, there was that comics show in Sacramento a couple weeks ago, there's Sac-Anime at the end of July, and oh yeah, there's that Anime Expo thing that unfortunately, I won't be going to. (Hey, I was beat from two cons in May, I just spent $250 on brake work for my truck, and probably an equal amount on getting the truck's engine back in tune.) Next major con is Ani-Magic, in late Sept/Early Oct.

Layout and design of this site may change, as I get a feel for a style that's going to work for here, as well as how the sections are going to be accessed. It's all part of a sitewide redesign and upgrade, which I'm still working out as I go along. If anything breaks, let me know, otherwise, I'll get to it eventually.
