Karakuri Babble is a daily column by the editors of i360.com, usually on topics tangentially related to anime and cosplay.

In the past we have endorsed many things; in the future we shall support many others.

Posted a couple of new articles for AX (three days before the con.) One's by Jason, detailing his worries over the new fees at length, as is his way. The other's by me, in my trademarked mixture of portentous and miserable.

Make no mistake, I am miserable, in my way. I want AX to succeed. I've never made a secret of it. But I'm worried, and doubly so when they do things that are stupid, like this current ticketing policy. How can they do that? I ask, still bitter from the debacles of last year. I wanted to write about the Haruhi movie, but AX has me too concerned to organize my thoughts.

I'm not going to be blinded by nostalgia. I have to be able to shoot my own dog when the time comes. That's why I wrote my article about AX -- to steel myself just in case.
