AMA - Friday
I went to AMA this weekend. I got a room for Friday night, and then saw Abdulhadi while I was getting a badge. So I went with him to Anime Across the World, International releases of Anime, which basically equals anime dubbed into Arabic. Everyone was there: Maram, David, Eddie, Sheldon and Jeremy. Eventually Sheldon and I got to talking about things in general, like his health and digital cameras. We totally avoided talking about our fight, but we were getting along ok. From there I went to help out Maram, Eddie and Hadi with Karaoke "Sing-Up." (Sign up). It went a lot better than last year. People had to bring their own music or they could sing a cappella. (Last year I brought a bunch of anime cds and it just got so confusing keeping track of them). We ripped the songs on to Hadi's laptop and then burned all the tracks to one cd to give to Dr. Andy. That way we they could just take their cds back and we didn't have to worry about them. It would of been a perfect setup, only if Hadi hadn't screwed up and forget to include a few of the tracks. ^^;;; But we were rushing him...
I really wanted to sing this year, so I tried to get Eddie to sing Cibo Matto's Birthday Cake with me, but he eventually copped out. I almost got up enough guts to sing Under Your Spell because I had the OMWF soundtrack with me, but I'm not that brave yet... Luckily Eddie did agree to sing Run DMC's Tricky as long as Jeremy and Sheldon would too. They were all for it. Maram had downloaded all of AnimeLyrics.com for people to use, but it didn't have Tricky, and we couldn't get a connection from the Hotel. Jay wasn't home, so I ended up calling my Dad and having him read off the lyrics to me. Only it was hard to hear him so he had to keep repeating. ^^;;; When we got called up to sing I took the microphone before Andy started the music and said "This is going to be very, very interesting." We sang the song, with a little mishaps of not remembering the whole song... And at the end we kept throwing out all these quotes... We were the only ones who got it though.. ^^;;; Maram was MC and tried to take the microphone back but we insisted that we had something else we wanted to do, so the four of us did a quick rendition of Strong Bad Techno. We were amused, but we weren't feeling the love from the audience.. ;_;
As always Andy and I shared our nice long hug. I think it would be weird to see Andy and not get a hug.... I had my hair up Friday, so he commented on that. Also how I'm just cool and easy going. Most people seem to think that, like Jay and Pernell. I guess I'm easy like that. On another note, he asked where you were Meridel. He remembered how we were singing along with OMWF at Katsnowcon. So you have been dubbed as my singing friend. ^_________^
