Surveys updated

We have more surveys available! This update includes three new Card Sharks polls: One general survey for all anime/manga fans, one for anime/manga fans who are single, and one for anime fans who are ina relationship of some kind.

That brings us up to FOUR surveys available, enough to kill a good 20 minutes or so. You can send the survey page link at animegameshowparty.com/surveys to a friend and have them contribute too!

Thank you, Matsuricon 2024!

Matsuricon has come to a close, and it was a wonderful experience as always!

Huge thanks to the programming staff for having me back after a long absence thanks to COVID and medical recovery. Running Livin’ the Con Life, Jackbox, and Family Feud were experiences that went over well with attendees and I learned more about what works well and what needs to improve with each time I perform these events. In addition, the live premiere of Wipeout went incredibly smoothly and the atmosphere in the room was electric during the bonus round!

I also caught up with many longtime friends and recharged my batteries a bit.

Thanks, Granny

My grandmother, Billie, died on Sunday, June 30, 2024, after fighting battles with heart failure, and dementia. She was 89.

Granny, as I call her, is such a big influence about what I do at conventions. She was a huge game show fan. She and I would spend summers during my grade-school years watching the afternoon game show blocks on cable TV and playing along. She would always smile and seem to enjoy herself when I started getting home versions of game shows as Christmas presents and was always a willing contestant for Living Room Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune.

Along with that love of the genre, she also gave me a desire to learn more about the world around me, and the courage and tenacity to be myself, even if I don’t neatly fit in.

My appearance at CitrusCon will continue as schedule, as will other events that may get added to the schedule. Though she never got to see any of them before… maybe now, wherever she may be, she’ll get to see what I do and how happy it makes me.

CitrusCon!

IT’S OUR FIRST GUEST APPEARANCE AT A CONVENTION!

I am so incredibly excited to be a Guest at CitrusCon, an online BL/yaoi convention, coming up in August. The full line up hasn’t been announced yet, but will include new Premieres and Exclusive Events you’ll see ONLY at CitrusCon!

CitrusCon is a FREE online convention for BL fans 18 and older, but you still have to register in order to secure your space and enjoy chats, camaraderie, and chaos, just like an in-person event!

We can’t wait to see you all there!

Ohayocon 2024: Final update

I will not be presenting at Ohayocon 2024. Unfortunately, the lead time I have been given to prepare and present panels is not enough to guarantee a quality event lineup for attendees or a pain-free process for staff members.

I wish the staff, panelists, and attendees of Ohayocon well, and I hope you have an enjoyable weekend.

–Dusty, founder/producer
