"Happy Thanksgiving '06" Thursday - November 23rd, 2006

A very happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I hope you are all with your family and friends and are set to enjoy what is my favorite holiday of the year. Sure you get more presents on Christmas and you get to drink more on St Patty's and you get to dress up for Halloween, but for me nothing beats just getting to hang out with the whole family and eating a huge meal. Of course this could all be because there's all of four of us in my family during the holidays since everyone else is pretty much in Japan.

Anyway I drew today's filler as a request by NS Forum member Tora Mabushii who really wanted to see what Key lime's alternative ninja outfit was going to be as seen partially in the Spirit 300 poster. Well barring yellow trim instead of orange here is the scrapped version of Key's ninja outfit. I threw in the turkey just for kicks since who doesn't want a redheaded Chinese garbed nerdgrrl ninja serving them turkey? So here you go Tora and I hope you and the rest of K.I.N.D. liked it.

Also for all of you who signed up for the NS Forum Survivor contest, the details of when and how the game will be played will be up on the forum later today. You will also find out which clan you are on as we start with the 2 clan format in a battle to see who will the cameo in the NS comic.Anyt of you who are still interested in the game and just forgot to sign up, hurry and register for the NS forum and sign in. I will accept entries up until the minute I start the game.

So again I want to take advantage of the holidays to say thanks to everyone. This has really been just an up and down year and you've all been great. I want to say I hope my friends in Syracuse, Long Island, California, New Zealand, Indonesia, and St Louis are having an amazing holiday weekend. I think you all know who you are.

PS - Any of you over 21 year olds who are living or are visiting Long Island and are looking for something to do this Saturday should head out to Islip and check out the Hyjinx show. The details of when and where are on the Hyjinx site. There won't be a cover charge and you'll get to listen to some really good live music. So come on out and bring your friends. I guarantee you will have an AWESOME time.
