To describe my experience of Danbury would awaken the hatred I bear for that unspeakable evil. I would lose all sense of self and rage on whatever came into my path. To put is plainy, "You won't like me when I'm angry."
Hello. My name is Doug and I'm over 40. Been a geek for a very long time. I learned of the Front Row Crew this weekend at PAX as I listened to the Beyond D&D panel. Which was very awesome. I play a wide range of computer, board, and RPG's. Currently trying to get the gaming group to try a game of Burning Wheel, but that might take an act of God. My hobbies include games, writing, reading, and cooking. 5 days a week I'm a Corporate Drone that does Accounting [Boring, but pays well].
Hi, I'm some jerk who likes to harass Paul Chapman. I enjoying playing Super Robot Wars and watching manly shows like Fist of North Star and Getter Robo.

That's a mighty fine danglin' participle you got there, Pepperbox. The kinda danglin' participle that's gonna make you real popular with the boys down at county.
The large-eyed animated look actually started in America. The grandfather of anime, Osamu Tezaka, was a huge fan of Walt Disney, especially the timeless classic Pinochio.
Hi, I'm James Fletcher, and I am a long-time but recent listener of the show. I graduated with a BA in English from George Mason University, but currently work a temp data entry job, because getting an English Degree doesn't seem to actually help you get a writing job.
In any case, my geekery was initially focused on video games and Star Wars, but later branched out into anime and tabletop gaming. In addition I used to play the Alto and Bari sax in regular, marching and jazz band at one point or the other, and would love to find time to get back into it (though not marching). Also, I like to write, and try to do so either through fiction or blogging whenever I can find the time (I'd post a link, but I don't want to seem like a shameless self-promoter).
I discovered Geek Nights at Otakon 2009 when I went to the "Beyond D&D Panel." In it I heard about gaming systems that sounded crazy awesome. In particular, the instant the panel ended I called a friend about Dread because it sounded like genius. Unfortunately despite that, I haven't tried playing it since I don't know how to run it in practice (though if there's anyone in the DC Metro area running it, I would love to at least sit in). However, I did run Inspectres off of the panel's recommendation and had the most fun running a game since Paranoia.
Soon after that I subscribed to the actual podcast, which coincidentally came at the time I got my data entry job so suddenly I was in desperate need of something to fill the time at work. Thus far I have enjoyed the show greatly, and ultimately decided to try posting here.

Oh man, I feel for you. I used to do data entry. I had one temp data entry job, which thankfully only lasted a week, where they wouldn't even let me listen to headphones. Worst working week of my life, and I've done construction in the San Fernando Valley in the summer.

The only way I could imagine doing this job without music/podcasts involves me doing little actual work, because I would get so bored I would start surfing just to stay sane.
