We review the JAM Project concert.
Note to first time concert goers:
- Don't wear the band's T-shirt to their concert, you will be "that guy."
- If the band leaves after their "final number" and the house lights don't turn on, there's going to be an encore. Don't leave!!
- Dave Riley never stops talking!

Gerald points out that we're mostly Irish.

Dave may have killed Ed Chavez last December.

Birth is worth "exactly $5". Not plus shipping, just $5 over the counter.

Venus vs. Virus is not Innocent Venus

Chris Oarr might be Dave's adopted father.

Kigurumi make a showing at Otakon this year

Mike Dent cosplaying as Wesley Willis?

Aren't you jealous of my Satoshi Kon sketch!?

Tyler is sadly too young to remember the deceased Wesley Willis, known for his song "I Wupped Batman's Ass"

Noah's best thing about Otakon: The Akira Baby

Gerald's favorite: Kappei Yamaguchi's hair

Mike Toole has seen the Pyongyang animation: Cordo Maltese, there's a big budget movie Corto Maltese

A three ring binder of badly drawn penises was outselling us in Artist's Alley (get photo from Gerald)

ADV's "booth."


Dave Riley and Chris Oarr - separated at birth?


Aren't you jealous of Erin's Satoshi Kon sketch?


Gerald hasn't had a drop to drink.


Neither has Daryl.

Cosplay has really improved at Otakon this year. That's the boar from Princess Mononoke!

I still need images of the Akira baby and the crudely drawn penis notebook.
