Graphene-X's latest unique graphene integrated shorts just started appearing. It has many features like being lightweight, quick dry, and stretchy to name a few. I probably missed some other details but the rest is on their website.
Hopefully someone else or the official channel has the conclusion of this long awaited homecoming show. This video ends with Substantial.

Yes it was hot. 87F/30C. No easy way around it. But not even the hot weather could stop these local furries from a nice picnic hosted by Megaplex at the site of their charity, The C.A.R.E. Foundation. I actually never been all the way up here myself but man I can tell you I've never seen so many exotic animals in one sitting. Today's menu was hotdogs and burgers. And some snacks here and there. And of course there was plenty of water.

TAC0 note:
Guy said it already but thank you to all the staff! There's lunch rush, then there's lunch rush within the radius of a top 100 U.S. city by population, then there's lunch rush in that major city when they told everyone Guy Fieri would be there! They kept that place running!
It's noisy in there. Sorry the interview is hard to hear sometimes. Also Guy is very nice. Not shown here but there is a portion where without cameras he sat down with the guests in the booth for at least 30 minutes and talked with everyone.
Guy is spot on about their tenders. They are not overrun with breading. They are very tender and juicy. Juicy can be hard to do with chicken because fried chicken tends to run dry and crunchy. The exterior is soft not crispy. Very tasty.
And the shake..don't get me started. It was 88 degrees and that shake was gone so quick. So smooth with a bit of crunch in it too.

I did not capture the full event as I had to leave early.
This probably concludes my now 4 weekend streak of Lunar New Year events here in Orlando. I end with this, the University of Central Florida's Vietnamese American Student Association's Tet presentation; packed with singing and dancing!
Did you know I attended one in 2010 (I didn't get video though)? It's neat seeing the concept is the same despite the trends changing. The Pegasus Ballroom is Eternal. Ah in my day we could play DDR at Wackadoo's before the show though...

Orlando Taiko Dojo performs at the first ever Avalon Springfest 2023 in Avalon Park, Florida. A unique performance worth seeing in person if you're able. Nothing like feeling the ground underneath you shake in sync to this ancient tradition.

TAC0 note
Headphones. I know every video says recommends them but I brought around an uncommon chunky stereo shotgun listening station (also when I arrived and set it up it fell on someone. Sorry! The person said they were fine after I apologized) to give Orlando Taiko Dojo's performance a unique high quality audio recording exceeding that mobile devices.
If you wish you can hear what this video could've sounded like without the stereo shotgun configuration with this bonus video comparison between microphones.
My video of audio compare link (unlisted) youtube.com/watch?v=X3Fta0Fwqrk
When the camera shakes like an earthquake is happening that's because user error: me. OH well.
On top of that I missed the opening ceremony because I had to go back home to get my camera which I realized I forgot when I got there. OH well again.
But don't let these stop you from enjoying this: another week another video packed with Asian culture presented by Asia Trend. But a new one: welcome to the first ever collaboration with Avalon Park here in Central Florida. It was a quite windy day. And cloudy. We all were hoping it wouldn't rain and it didn't.

Happy New Year! It's the Year of the Rabbit!
Much like last year in 2022 I attended the Central Florida Dragon Parade Lunar New Year: celebrating The Year of the Rabbit. This year despite the clouds there wasn't any rain. Maybe a few drops for like 10 minutes but otherwise good day for a parade. Anyways enjoy this blast of Asian culture with a couple of special guests from top sponsors, government officials in City of Orlando and Orange County Government, Florida, and more!

Sadly I don't have any original Quarks or good variety EDC sized lights to compare as tonight will be a focus on color. A quick look at a thread and I see and some members on Candle Power Forums have been waiting for a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) Quark for years. And I can see why, a tiny handheld with accurate color looks very useful and could likely standout at a flashlight show and tell when everyone else is doing pale cool white discount lighthouse memes.

Lights shown in the video are
Bushnell TRKR 140L (from Wal-Mart maybe 2013)
Mini Maglite LED (from The Home Depot, probably first gen LED maybe 2018)
ThruNite Archer 1A V3 in NW (a friend gifted me while eating eggs dinner at Perkins Restaurant and Bakery once around 2015)
Not shown on camera but the overhead 'stage' lights are the recent Foursevens Maelstrom MX3F 'flood'.
The Certified Neutral Gray card is the WhiBal G7 White Balance Studio Card of Michael Tapes Design (today being distributed by Outdoor Photo Gear since Michael Tapes is now retired)
The charger is Foursevens USB Flex Charger (Li-Ion and NiMH)
The USB Power bank is some old RAVPower one I had in a backpack nearby.

Orlando AnimeDay is 1 day of micro anime market place and cosplay fun for not even the price of a movie ticket. This year's 2023 was at the Wyndham Orlando Resort. It was a little cloudy but thankfully didn't rain too much. And the outside weather was cool enough too.

I bring you an event series that brings me some memories. I return to Orlando AnimeDay with some video. Some of you who have been subscribed to TAC0 for too long probably know Orlando AnimeDay 2012 was my second anime/fandom convention ever (and the video is still up!). Ah that era was a lot of My Little Pony and Homestuck. Today it's Genshin Impact, League, Spy x Family, and Demon Slayer. Anyways enough talking, I didn't get too much but here's some videos I got mostly of the selling floor and game room.

Some 16.1 inch AR. Some Frontier 5.56 M193.
The audio is from some stereo Japanese made video microphone but it was plugged directly into the camera.
I'm firing their Sellier & Bellot 12g buckshot if it matters.
Yes the ARs on the table, I blurred them, because some of those builds are not ready for prime time. At least not yet. Maybe one day.

Holiday Matsuri's 10th year, Holiday Matsuri 2022, took place at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida, on December 16 to December 18 during an unusually nicer weather weekend that had not been seen since it was at the Caribe Royale.
And no 2002 this time!

TAC0 note: and thus begins my coverage of Holiday Matsuri 2022.
Also due to some spreadsheet glitch there may be some "Tales of" cosplays in here too since they ended up sharing the same hour.

The top prize was tickets to one unusually popular Christmas themed convention down here that is usually out of parking spots to the extent of "just move the con to the convention center bro" and and this year sold out host hotel in record time.... But aaanyways
Fun trivia: I actually filmed another costume contest (Halloween) for Anime Spot UCF in October 2012 so you could say this rebound video was a decade in the making. Oh and there this other favor...but that's ancient history now.

Having attended UCF Day of Cosplay 2022, I bring back some video. Mainly 1 panel and 2 cosplay contests. I'll have them uploaded soon.
What the title says.

Microphone:
2x Sennheiser ME67 in a side by side double barreled shotgun microphone stereo mount
Tascam DR-40 host. Stereo external microphone mode. Limiter mode because I'm lazy. MP3 because I'm extra lazy.
This video still looks better if you are wearing headphones
*The Ruger 10/22 and that magazine were unloaded prior to filming. There was probably no .22 LR ammo in that room during the time of recording.
Despite the hurricane, 3 of us managed to meet at Frogbones Family Shooting Center in Melbourne, Florida, to shoot some handguns followed by dinner at their attached restaurant.
Handguns known to be shown in this video
Shadow Systems MR920
SIG P320
Smith and Wesson 586
Two World Wars Winner
More info on the range. You should try their meatloaf too.

Hi all.
Last week, Prometheus Lights (who acquired the Foursevens brand in 2018) started shipping out a modernized version of the ~7 year old Foursevens Maelstrom Regen MMU-X3R.
Today I bring you a viewing of the Prometheus Lights Maelstrom MX3F "flood" in action.
It is indeed flood.
Oh, and there's a Fenix PD36R in there too because why not.
TAC0 note: I user-replaced for the 'wide' 60* optic on the MX3F
Zippo Classic Street Chrome vs Zippo Armor Antique Silver opening sounds. On the Armor, the iconic clunk opening sound has been quite muted with the reinforced walls. Even if you switch the Inside Guts between the two it will still do that.
Microphone:
2x Sennheiser ME67: a 12 inch shotgun microphone. Both were set up in a Double Barreled Shotgun Microphone configuration
TASCAM DR-40
Some ancient AKG K-220M headphones my dad gave me while I was playing GTA3 on the computer like plus 12 years ago and was like "don't these sound nicer than the speakers?" lol

Inspired by real recent events, I bring this camera talk for inspiration for your next event as if you had came over my house and asked my thoughts about it.
But the too long, not watching, give me short version is this: if you're going to be on land and dry and safe for a while you might not need that waterproof case. On top of preventing you from charging your camera, in hotter environments a waterproof case may need to be water cooled. Especially on 4K60P. Drilling a hole on a second waterproof case or buying a second battery are options for some. The mobile phone clamps for selfie sticks are another option to both keep it from overheating and allowing you to charge and record.
The camera displayed is a Veho MUVI K-2 which is pretty old and maybe you should just get a GoPro.
