I think it was back in the olden days I talk about a lot whenever I start talking about anime and how I got into it. In having to familarize myself with Kimagure Orange Road again lately (for the fifth episode of the radio show), I have sort of returned to that day when I …

Anime Expo 2004
As with every year, Anime Expo 2004 was planned and put together nicely. We stayed at the Anaheim Marriott instead of the Hilton; a decision we regretted later, but I’ll get to that later. The trip down was fast and fun, with lots of music and people sleeping in the car while I had to …

Let’s Take Him Out Back and Beat the Shit out of Him
It’s going to be a rough couple of months leading up to JTAF this year. One of my key colleagues has resigned due to RL duties (which are always more important, as this isn’t even a paying gig :P), and I’m going to have to step in to take over until I can dupe some …

Twenty-Eight
As with the two previous entries on my birthday, adding another year to my age holds a kind of sobering mood over me. When I was much younger I used to look forward to my birthday, until I turned sixteen, at which point I underwent some sort of crisis about growing old. How’s that for …

Whew
Yesterday was somewhat painful, but a majority of today was spent relaxing at the computer and watching television. I’d been pretty much working my ass off last week with my “long” week (48 hours of work instead of the normal 36). On top of which, trying to promote the crap out of JTAF2 really takes …

All this Writing…
I’ve been working non-stop over the past week, trying to rewrite my old press kits and marketing tools that Iw rote when I was working for Fanime in 2001. Fanime 2001 was my first real exposure to marketing; operations was my forte. I’ve been getting paid to do operations for almost 5 years, now and …

The Wonder that is The City, part two

Another Week Older and Deeper in Debt
It’s like old friends week here at the Cochrane Compound, and I got flagged down by both phone and online from a couple of old friends I hadn’t spoken to in quite some time. emerged from the shadows to say hi and we talked all weekend, while Abbie (my favorite ex-girlfriend) called up and chatted …
