Arizona Bao & Dumpling Festival

I had a great time staffing at the Takoyaki Balls truck this past weekend for the Arizona Bao & Dumpling Festival in Peoria, AZ. We had a great crowd with lots of customers who were eager to try the famous 🐙 dumplings. 🌧 clouds were overhead most of the day, but fortunately the weather held except for a couple of brief sprinkles. I'll be back there again next month for the Arizona Fried Chicken & Wing Festival 😋.

Game On Expo 2024

This weekend was my second time staffing as an "NPC" at Game On Expo 2024. I worked two shifts at the Registration Booth and the flow of visitors checking in was non-stop the entire time. This year's event was the largest in history, I got to meet lots of interesting people, the Cosplay was outstanding, and the gaming hall was enormous.

One of the most impressive sights was the queue of nearly 1000 people waiting to attend the Baldur's Gate 3 Voice Actor Reunion panel. I also had the opportunity to meet Josh who was part of the development team for the Halo game series. Two or three tours through the massive Exhibit Hall resulted in the purchase of a couple of very nice art pieces to add to my collection.
