Kitsune Kon debuted in Green Bay this past weekend at the KI Convention Center. This convention outgrew the facilities in the Fox Valley and will be in Green Bay for the next couple of years. The focus of the Kitsune Kon is anime and video gaming. There were anime viewing rooms, an exhibition hall, a board gaming room, a manga cafe, a foam sword fighting area, special guest voice actors from a few higher profile animation films, amongst many other activities. And of course the cosplay. You would have been hard pressed to find a costume that was off the shelf. There were so many amazing costumes with insane detail. This is an awesome event.

 

I have always been fascinated with the theories of Stonehenge. I can clearly remember first learning about pilgrimages to Mecca in an early social studies class. I was fortunate enough to spend some time in Italy and visit the Colosseum. Each of these places are representations of the axis mundi and all have fascinated me for ages.

I am not terribly interested in football, but the last few years working for the City of Green Bay has given me special insight into the near religious fervor surrounding the Packers and the hallowed ground of Lambeau Field. Maybe because I see past the football, it is hard to ignore what must have been intentional mythic religiosity in the design of Lambeau.
