Hi everyone, I just wanted to give a quick update because next week is Otakon. This year is a special one, not only is it the first time that Otakon is being held in Washington DC, but it’s also the first time that I will be a featured presenter. So needless to say, I’m a […]

Chester Bennington, famous as the lead vocalist of Linkin Park, was found dead in his home on the morning of July 20th, 2017. His suicide came only a few months after Chris Cornell, who Bennington was close friends with, also committed suicide. Had Cornell survived, July 20th would have been his 53rd birthday. On the […]

If you’re going to be attending Otakon 2015 this weekend, please stop by my Evangelion panel commemorating the 20th anniversary of Evangelion, as well as 2015, its year of significance. It’s currently scheduled for Friday, July 24, from 12:45 PM – 1:45 PM in Panel 1 (BCC 314-315). This year I will be joined by fellow Eva […]

Otakon has released the official roster of fan panels for this year’s event. I’m pleased to be hosting two panels this year, for what will be my twelfth consecutive year as a fan panelist. It’s hard to believe I’ve been doing them every year since Otakon first incorporated fan panels in 2003. This year’s installment […]

This year’s winner of Best Comedy and Best in Show in Otakon 2011’s AMV Contest was an Evangelion AMV produced by PixelBlended Studios entitled Evangelion 0.22 – Shinji does (not) Mean Business.

I think I’m finally recovered from this year’s Otakon. And yes, it does take a good week to get back to normal, especially when you go back to work on Monday. Lesson learned, don’t take off the Thursday before to get ready, take the Monday after instead to recover. I had a good time this […]

Mark your calendars and get ready, because I’ll be at Otakon again this year, bringing my own particular blend of fun and excitement in the form of my new Evangelion panel, “Evangelion, WTF?”. Here’s the description: Evangelion, WTF? (18+) Fandom works in very interesting ways. Given enough time, it tends to spawn various oddities without […]

To reiterate, I will be hosting a Tenth Anniversary of Evangelion panel at Otakon 2005. Joining me this year are Reichu of the Eva Commentary Project, and Otaprince of Gainax Pages. We’ll be sure to put on a good program for those in attendance, so if you’re making it out to Baltimore this year, we’ll […]

Don’t ask, I only find this stuff. I’m amused that the book in first two panels is for Otakon 2005 where I’ll be hosting my next Evangelion panel. It’s good to see that I’m not the one getting excited and geared up for the convention this year. If you happen to live a stone’s throw […]
