Colorado Wasn't as Cold as Expected (Animeland Wasabi Con Report)

Well, yeah - it was colder in Texas when we left than during our entire stay in Aurora, Colorado.

Anyway, after driving for almost a whole day we arrived at the Red Lion Inn and started setting up shop and doing a test run-through. After, we set up to start riffing the movie (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie). Or we would have if we didn't have technical issues. But the con jumped right on the problem, and it was fixed pretty damn quickly.

In fact, that summed up the con pretty well - the attendees were friendly and the staffers were quick and efficient. We had a blast and will be happy to go back. Sadly, there's not really anything else to say. While some exciting deals went down that weekend, we also aren't allowed to talk about them just yet.

IT CAME FROM THE SEVENTIES!

All thirty minutes of it!


Closing with a little reminder...

Electronic Music Week at Network Awesome

Network Awesome started this week with a documentary on Moog and performances by the legendary Clara Rockmore, THE master of the Theremin. Today has Giorgio Moroder and Kraftwerk. Not only is it educational but it's got a beat and you can dance to it!

Tsukuba Series

Robots, puppets, AND a giant mask? This guy is my new hero.

Fire & Ice (1983)

Sometimes, you feel a little bad for not liking something. A lot of other people like it, you know it took a lot of time and effort, and the people involved were all talented and dedicated people. Look at that: the actor doing the live-action sequences for Darkwolf is even wearing a little wolf-skin hat.

Watching this short little “making of” video (sorry about the sound synch), however, does not change my opinion of Fire & Ice in any way. At all.

The problem is, I'm not a teen-aged boy.
