In our anime parody skit last month at Zipcon, Magical Bishōjo Scout Shibari-chan explains her refusal to fight a tentacle monster during a pandemic: did it wash its limbs, does it have mouths to mask, and what about interdimensional shots?!
Shibari, Ecchi-sensei, and tentacle monsters will return in two weeks at Cleveland ConCoction!

When packing for our kyōgen demonstration at Zipcon earlier this month we couldn't find the hats we used for "Kusabira"! Our spin-off troupe the Wayward Saints used to stage our "Dottore Who & the Fungus Amongus" and luckily we'd borrowed their gear awhile ago and still had the hats! Of course we then found our mushroom hats less than a week after the anime con! 🤣
