Fans are Great

A long time ago, the only video of me as Uncle Yo I ever uploaded was my original incarnation of Shonen Vs. Shojo, a visual representation of comics geared toward young boys versus comics geared toward young girls.

And now, a very bored and very special fan has adapted the bit into a comic at Deviantart.com.

You are my new hero, little girl.

Even stranger was the recent obsession over my 3 second-long public safety announcement at Stogacon in PA: Bees everywhere!

Then came the fan-made re imagining of the event: Bees Everywhere?

It’s fan efforts like these that negate the need for therapy.

Yay.

Drom and Strung!

There are success, and there are Smashing successes. I’ll be uploading a bunch more of Keith’s photos on the myspace page, but this was just a start.

Big thanks to goes to Ernie from Out of Time Productions – the guy who reviews every major anime convention in the nation. He’s working to upload a majority of the show up for public view…although I always wanted a DVD to sell…

Another big thank you goes to OwlDepot, a cosplayer from Arizona for her mini promo video just before the show. The Pink-Haired Superstar made a grand appearance as my warm-up act. Lupin for breaking us into Drom AND their locked freezer: turned out it was full of fish.

And those in the audience: the Front Row Crew, the Nerd Avengers, my girlfriend Nicole, all my friends getting married within the next year, old previous co-workers, every mother who dragged their kids from Long Island, Kino and Image Anime for promoting posters, and the lady who prevented me from being on the CBS Early Show:

Yes, that is a dog strapped to her chest. It's called a leash, Crazy!

A successful show for me is one that makes the venue money, gathers friends and fans alike, and I don’t destroy a microphone or get dragged out by an Officer Jenny cosplayer. Drom was a crazy, defining event in my career as Uncle Yo, and my life as a performer. Guess we’ll have to do it again….

For now, NYAF, Zenkaikon, then Rutgers University. We are on a roll kiddies, and with Anime Uncommentary soon to be released, anime clubs will have even more reasons to visit the sites.

Drom was a raging success. That is only because of the support of so many die-hard friends, fans, and everyone in between.
