    You guys should definitely go see that Murakami exhibit. Two of my friends went to it at our MOCA here and, from their pictures, it was quite awesome.

    The look on Kat's face when you mentioned us peoples at SUNY Purchase was priceless... wish I had a picture.

    Thanks for the mention tonight in the show guys. ^_^ Hope to get in touch with you again soon.

    P.S. There was a stand at the Con where they were selling the clown pistols. It was kinda hidden.

    Questions.

    1) How does do your games work, as an anime club organizer, I might want to use those as events. I understand match game to a degree (It's like Blankety Blank, right?) but "challenger on fire" sounds intresting.

    2) The Yotsuba cosplayer, how young was she? Just as a point of refrence, I couln't tell. Sorry if that sounded creepy.

    I'm glad to know that game shows at cons do really well. The game show I ran at my college con did really well so maybe it will do well at a regular con.

    The game show was a total abortion. :-p I still enjoyed it though.

    What did you guys think of that anime stand up "Uncle Yo?"

    Yes, that does sound creepy. You have no need for the age of that girl who went to the NYAF with her father. She's a child cosplaying as Yotsuba! More you need not know. You're supposed to say "Awwwwwwww, cuuuuute" and not "OMG What's her age???"

    As for anime for next week: Kino no Tabi! *was listening to old wednesday episodes* Then Scott can change his opinion from "It looks girly" to whatever his eventual opinion will be. Heck, in the same wednesday episode where he said that, or the one after that you guys talked about Galaxy Express 999, which apparently according to Wikipedia is the main influence of the light novels:
    In an interview with Keiichi Sigsawa done by the Anime News Network, he stated that despite the similarities that have been pointed out between The Little Prince and Kino's Journey, it was not one of his main influences. In fact he didn't even read the book until after he wrote Kino's Journey (at which point he stated that he enjoyed it and was honored that his book was being compared with the Little Prince.) His main influence was in fact a manga by the name of Galaxy Express 999.
    Now I shall wait till Dave (and Joel) talk about his(their) second assassination attempt. I mean, it failed again, you two are still alive. Still alive.

    There need to be a clown pistol war of 2008. Or create a better clown based weapon.

    We didn't talk about it. I forgot to tell Joel I even did it.

    What exactly are the GeekNights run panels/games going to be at Katsu this year? And do you guys have any idea what sort of time slots you'll have things?

    I know, hence I'm waiting to hear your side of the story. I mean, you can't deny you once again fialed at assasinating them, though did succeed once again in making people laugh out loud. And perhaps Rym's death scream v2.0, but I don't know if he screamed.

    I'm dead inside. The inner clown could not retreat in time.

    We have seven scheduled events, plus a host of unscheduled ones (Atari tournaments and such). The schedule is complete, but I'm hesitating to publish it until Katsucon sends it to the printers.

    Suffice to say, Friday night and Saturday night will be epic.
  • KieyKiey
    After listening to the episode I'm starting to think that I should have come back for Saturday.

    I think next year I'll go Friday and Saturday, and get a hotel room for one night.
