Anime Fest Panel Poll

It's that time of year again. Anime Fest is asking folk to vote for their panels. Anime Hell is one of them.

TIME TO GO VOTE.

Now, granted, only paid members can vote, so it's really not that much different from any election. Ha ha.

Bad news, kids

If you were looking forward to seeing Anime Hell at A-Kon this year, don't. We're not doing it. No Dogsnack. No Hard Gay. No Camay Walk. No Kazoos. No Hell Nurse Katie. None of that.

I hear you asking, "Why? Sweet lord, why?" Well, we contacted A-Kon this year, at the same time of of year as we have the last few times, and got the following reply:

A-kon has for many years been shifting towards an environment where we do not seek out talent, we have talent beating our doors from panels to artists, and everything beyond.

Unfortunately this year I actually had a waiting list for groups and rooms starting in October. Additionally there was a last minute unscheduled change that leaves us without our largest video space for half of the convention, as it is becoming Registration. We are making due [sic] with all the changes but we don't have space between programming and events to fit you guys in this year, and our programming book has already gone to print.

In thinking about all the folks we had to contact to let them know it wasn't happening this year, I had to remember you, the fans. It's not that we've quit; we're just not going to be there this year. We'll be back next year and we're still planning on Anime Fest later this year.

Because, ya know, Vincent Price

Featuring the vocal sylings of Casey Kasem, Conan O'Brian, and VINCENT PRICE.

Yeah, OK. I know it's not Conan. It's Danny Kaye. But still....

Friendship is Beginning...

Just noticed 30 years ago, this came on the cathode ray tubes all across the country. Life was never the same since.

I love that movie.

Happy 35th Nickelodeon (if needed)

Because I have no faith in it all, I'll leave you with this playlist of what I consider the best of said network (though mainly pre-1990, so all you Y/Z-Gen snots can just suck it).
