The Monarch elections were held last weekend. It wasn't a presidential election, but at the moment, its just as important. It was extremely important that the right person was elected, because now is the time we need a strong leader to lead us to a better future, and hopefully Kyle will do just that.
That's right, Kyle won. It was a close race, but in the end, Garion couldn't prove himself as a greater leader. If you really looked at the ideals behind the two candidates, it was truly liberal versus a Conservative. And that makes the out come so much surprising.
On better news, We made it in the TBT, and St. Pete Times.
Bonzai for Fun and Games!
In general, its a better article then the Trib's (Linked Here), and the Times has a far greater reader and subscriber base. Plus its getting published in the TBT, which is the number one news paper in the Tampa due to the fact that it's free.
Hopefully we'll see new recruits at the park, and become a far larger family.

Electioning the Future.
Next week, Tetsu Bonzai will go to the park, and Elect a new Leader.
A task that seems impossible if you look at the history of our past Daimyos, and Shoguns.
Before I post the Three people who are running, I can only implore that you look at the candidates past decisions, their point of view of the topics at hand, and the way they play Amtgard. Don't vote for the person who you like the most, but for the person who think will make a difference for the next year to come.
Tomas Stone, the under dog...
Garion Gazell, the Hopeful Idealist...
And Kyle, The struggling leader...
Good Luck, and I hope for the best.

A Tribunal of Sorts
Sunday was a gathering of the past and future of our small clan. It made me happy to see people from the good ole' days, as well as many new people that will continue to join us. There was even two special guests, a few reporters from two warring newspapers.
The Trib article was already released, and my personal faviorte line is
"Marotta said he's keenly aware of the nerd label attached to Amtgard players, and he doesn't care. "As long as I'm having fun, I don't care what people think," he said, shrugging."
The TBT piece should be out shortly as well.
The forum will be back up starting today, sorry for the inconvenience, but it had to be done. Cleaning it up for the new influx of member was necessary. Yes, it will be open to the public, if you don't like some who joined, just message one of the mods, and we'll take care of it.
Or you could make your own forum, with an updated (you know your bored when you play this) version of the survivor game.
Now that metrocon is good and over with, many have been asking "Whats the next big event?" (For me personally its necronomicon cause im working oin this awesome steampunk cosplay)
Well, I'm working with Brooksville and Kyle to put togeather a new camping trip, we're also looking into a new convention in November.
I'll leave you with the links to the amazing article by Richard Shopes, and the photos that were taken.

How to survive Metrocon
No real Tetsu Update today, just some geeking out of sorts.
(Yes the forums are down, I'm making huge improvements for the flood after metrocon)
So for all of you newbs going to metrocon for the first time, prepare to be blown away with excitement. I've decided to write stories about all of my CON adventures in my actual blog Ideal Hub, so I decided to provide a list of survival tips.
Stay Away From Ferries
Furrier are trouble, allot of trouble. Even if they are a cute little girl with cat ears and a tail protruding from her ass crack connecting to her crotchless panties. The ones who dress up are really bad, but at least you know who they are, the one you have to watch out for are the ones who are awesome, and seem normal, until you get back to her hotel room, and she strips naked, takes two shots of Yager, then opens her lap top to some half hentai half furry porn involving a fox and a squid. It just not cool.
Get Use To Losing
You will always lose. No matter if its The Game, or some quick game of Smash, there is someone who is better then you, and will make you lose. Hell you might even have a trophy about how you danced your way to victory at a DDR tourney, but some Asian will get up on those lighted arrows and do the whole song backwards scoring a AA, while you had to stop midway to take a breather.
Know Your Panels
I cant even start to tell you about how many times I went to a panel, and by ten minuets I wish I hadn't. When your Friend goes hey, the anime improve panel looks fun, you should then look at the Con Book, and see how long it is. The fuck if I'm going to sit in a shitty panel of people trying to be funny, and failing at it for three hours. I'd rather watch chibi gundams and how to draw them having sex, at least I could get a stiff to robo on robo action.
Always Carry the Con Book
That large booklet with the maps and the info on the crazy shit happening will come in handy, especial if you don't know what yaoi is, and you follow a group of hot Asian school girls into a hardcore panel of yaoi vids. Hell you might be turned on by the little yaoi boys that look like girls with out the boobs. I know all of the school girls were.
Sleep
You will need allot of sleep, and the fuck if I'm going to do It at night. The best time to put in a few Zzz's are during some random video, in some random video room, in the back. Make sure its not a popular anime, cause those video rooms will be hotter then hell, and make sure your in the corner of the room with sunglasses, people will leave you alone if your by yourself with sunglasses in side watching a movie. You seem like a creep, but at least you'll have enough energy for the nights events. Also if you can't sleep, just save it for Sunday, nothing happens on Sundays except for the sales in the dealers room, that's what I do. Also if you can make friends with a energy drink selling pot head named Bawlz Kid, do it, you'll never be happier.
If You Want Some Action, Dance
If you have your eyes on some cute anime chick, chances are she is at one of the thirty dances, maybe even the anime dance, or the more formal masquerade,, what ever it is she will be there, and chances are shes looking for you. if you want some slutty chick who probably hates anime, and is on four drugs just so she can taste the music, go to the rave, trust me.
Set up a Meet up Spot
You will get lost, you will get lost, YOU WILL GET LOST. Set up some point where all of your friend will meet up, just in case. Unless you have cell phones, then its fine... I guess, but trust me, you'll get lost, and find your self in some yaoi furry panel, and that's the worst thing that would ever happen to you.
Don't Buy Stuff
I know that sword the size of a rather large person is cool, but why would you wanna carry around a sword you cant ever bring out. Don't buy shit unless you want to be burdened by the heaviness of real life, and the shitty shitty people that will follow you around.
