It was that time of year again, Blizzcon 2009! This is the penultimimate moment for any Blizzard Games fan. To make it more juicy, Blizzcon opened on my birthday this year   Talk about a present!

This year Ashten and I were joined by old friends and some new ones!  Matt (Gutzies), Alex (Eviandorian) — both of Aenima fame — and Jesse (Dömökun) who I knew from the TNOSC in Hawaii came, and then we met up with Brett (Sao) on Friday.   On Friday I also ran into Rob (Sykö) — Kill Order — and his girlfriend Elaine.  It was totally random and was not expecting to see him there, but was very exciting to see them!

While waiting in line for our tickets on Thursday I was interviewed by WoW Radio.  The link to the podcast with my interview is located here, my portion starts around 4:45.

So many exciting things happened this time around I can’t even explain it all!  We ran into Felicia Day, Vincent Caso, and Michele Boyd in the hotel the night before the show began.  For those not in the know, they are from the web series “The Guild“.  They were super awesome, very nice and we talked for a bit.  They allowed us to take a photo with them, for which I am incredibly grateful.  Felicia and I talked about how she has a dwarf priest, but that she thinks that when they allow cross-faction transfers that she may flip to Horde because blood elves are so pretty (they are).

Jay Mohr was the MC again, he did an awesome job and I look forward to seeing him at future Blizzcon events.  Ozzy Osbourne closed out the show, it was my first time seeing him and Ashten’s first “real” concert period.

Pictures are below.

It was to my great excitement, that I got to attend Blizzcon 2008 in Anaheim this year.

I took Ashten with me, was such a blast! We met up with several of my guildmates.

Matt “Gutz” came from Texas, then we had Brett “Sao”, Ryan “Meecrab”, Kent “Hayward”, and Kody “Cyrotic” who all live in SoCal.

We went to Knott’s Scary Farm the first night, then the convention on Fri and Sat.

I’m off to Blizzcon 2008 this week in Anaheim so in preparation I’m doing some cosplay. My costume is ready now I’m making the Brutal Gladiator War Staff. The in game item that the staff is based on, is pictured below Ashten and Ryan.

Brutal Gladiator War Staff

I used the iPhone3G theme made by Plizzo as the basis for this theme. He has created all the icons by hand, truly a talented artist.

This is my first theme, I hope to be making more, particularly WoW themes.

I have thought about this for a while and decided to finally go for it on my Women of Warcraft website: Tracking Sephorae

All right you World of Warcraft Fiends! I just wanted to take a moment to post and let you know that I have updated the design (again) and software on my Women of Warcraft site.

The site is a community for women players of WoW but everyone is welcome! Come check it out http://www.womenofwow.net
