As the (unofficial) resident photographer of the Unwound Show, I’ve finally managed to scrape together a few pics to share of our shenanigans. I know you all were listening to us broadcast live (of course), but in case you missed it, we did a lot of contests. A lot of dancing contests.

A few years ago when the Unwound show was broadcasting live, we used to (second-handedly) report and discuss the latest anime news. Even though we don’t have the opportunity to talk about the latest news on the air, we’d still like to talk about it.

FanimeCon 2009: Setting the Tone

I’ve been attending FanimeCon since 2004, which was the first year they were located in the San Jose Convention Center. Granted, I staffed two out of the six years I’ve attended though. Anyhow, after FanimeCon 2007 and 2008, I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to return for 2009. Not to say that those years were not fun, but I didn’t feel that there were many things that made my trip worth it…until now.
