The Summer Update

Aug 02, 2007 23:56

It's been awhile since I've made a solid, decent update. I guess finding the time to sit down and write is hard for me. I love my job, it is quite busy and fulfilling, but come evening I want to unwind, see Leyann, or watch a movie, or play video games, or just get some sleep or hang out with Tim and Nikki or other friends. Weekends are more like " ( Read more... )

I do but I have so many to list so i'll list just a few.

how we meet?
how come your not on x-box live anymore?
ever considered going to a Anime Expo at all (whether or not you actually can)

Oh and a few peeps from rangerboard said that they missed you at powermorphicon (which I will post a con report on that sometime). i forgot who :(

I think we met through Troppy's journal. Then it was a matter of finding out we had similar interests.

I am on X-box Live... just not that much, only late at night on certain days. Because it's not my Xbox and I have two room mates I share the living room with. If you want to set up a game let me know and I'll be there.

I do want to go to Anime Expo... and then again I don't... it just seems like a big cluster fuck of nerdom. Although I am a hippocrite because I'd rather go to Comic Con or DragonCon.

Awww man, I didn't know people actually missed me there at PMC. That makes me even more sad I couldn't go. Here's to PMC2.

oh that's right...I recall now that she got pissed that we were using her LJ as a forum :p

comic con is fun but i havent been there either. if you go to AX somehow, it would be fun to hang out and such (and see if you can being troppy).

ya because a people from the board met up on friday and you were mentioned when they asked my how i heard of the site.

Ok, this is practically nothing to do with your introspective post, but since you are on the staff of ACen, Mike Dent had a mini rant on RC the other day (the ep isn't up yet) about how he and others try to bring up getting rangers but the staff doesn't even consider it. Do you know anything about that?

But yeah, I'm also afraid of being a Jack...er....Jill of all trades. You ain't alone ;)

Um Yah we have been trying to get Rangers. I've been one of the main ones trying to get them, along with Keith Justice and Mike.

Here is a qoute from the Conchair himself in an email that was sent out to staff.

"We have already brought many guests of the above genres into ACen, so to answer your question, we are already doing it. We bring in new forms of entertainment, which in turn, appeal to a broader fan base and thereby bring new attendees into the convention. As long as we continue to
provide what our current fans have come to expect and at the same time generate new entertainment based upon other popular sub-genres for our attendees, we will be successful in expanding and growing to compete with the other events in our market.

Personally, I am a huge fan of Kaiju, Kyodai Hero, and the other genres of Tokusatsu entertainment. I have been pushing for us to get Sentai/Power Ranger guests, both domestic and Japanese. We came very close to that this year and I hope to see it become a Hopefully, that will become a reality ( ... )

Even though I brought it up at the feedback meeting, they seemed sort of lackluster to get it going.

Even though the fanbase gets bigger every year it seems.

- What questions do you have about me? What do you want to know?
If I'd have any, I'd just ask you. ;p

- Is there anything specific you want to know regarding my work,etc, etc, etc or anything else?
Kirk or Picard, man? I think I came to the humble conclusion your the only other person I know that is into Star Trek. Even though I'm not a huge fan, but I did grow up watching Next Gen and Voyager.

- What can we do to get to know each other more?
I like the meet-ups and stuff. Thinking of starting a traveling geek movie night...

- How do you feel about our friendship? All good on that dude.

Yah at last year's feedback/planning meeting Jayson and I brought up ranger guests... same reaction... moans and uninterest. AND BERYL WAS THERE!

I'll probably start up another ranger thread for guests on the ACEN forums.

My screen name isn't trekkieb47 for nothing.

I'm a Kirk man myself. I love Shatner, I would go gay for Shatner. He kicks ass, gets the ladies, and gets the job done. Picard is cool, but talks too much.

My fave trek series in order from favorite to least favorite (even though I love them all):

1. Enterprise
2. Star Trek
3. Deep Space 9
4. Voyager
5. Next Gen (but this is the series that got me into trek, seriously "least favorite" has a very slim margin between my favorite. Think of this as a if this show wasn't on, I'd watch this other one instead order.)

You found me on Facebook! =D

It's good to see you're doing well.

I'm back on the con scene again. I'll be at AnimeIowa next weekend, but it looks like you wont be. ^_~

Hopefully I'll see you around sometime. It's been ages.

Yah I'd love to just hang out you know?

Interestingly enough Leyann will be in Iowa that weekend, but not for the convention. I'll be house sitting!

Let's hang out soon.

Okay, since you asked, I have plenty of questions for you. Thanks! There's been stuff I've been wondering about. :-)
