Now to compliment the David Vincent panel with an actual interview this time. David is a great guy and from Arvada, CO. Always nice to talk to a native. I apologize for the audio in this, but the interview was too good to pass cause of some audio issues.

The first of two interviews we had at Animeland Wasabi. I present to you Jan Scott Frazier courtesy of LionHeartX.
Me: First off let me say thank you for sitting down for this interview. I have seen you around at NDK and got the chance to meet you a few times. I even purchased the Voices for Peace album Which was amazing to listen to.
Jan: Thank you
Me: The first thing I would like to find out is, what inspired the album?
Jan: Thats a funny question. Well my technical director John Sugarman has a cover band that said you should come up and do a song with us. And I didn’t sing or anything at the time. I love pondering things and I said if you could do a song with the band what song would you do. And I was like that is an interesting question.So I thought about that for some time, I got sick though, a really bad intestinal bug and went to the ER and they shot me full of morphine. I was listening to my MP3 play and the song for what it’s worth came on. and I thought maybe I should do a song like that that has some sort of meaning to it. Keep in mind this happened over the span of 5 seconds. We should do a song like this that is meaningful. It would be better if someone who could sing did a song like this, like Greg Eris for example. We could do a concert, we could do a charity concert, no we could do a charity album. The next day I called john and said dude I had this crazy dream. He goes thats an interesting idea, He called me back an hour later and said “you know that album idea, I have a band” I didn’t know what that meant at the time but I knew it meant work. And so 6 months later we dropped Voices for Peace
David Vincent - Awesome Voice ActorSo I don't have a real podcast for you this week, but I have something better! I have a panel that David Vincent (Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez from Bleach, Van from Gun Sword, and Marshall Law from Tekken). The audio is not perfect (sorry), but it is not bad for the little voice recorder we had for the con. Look forward to things getting better in future conventions.
This year at Animeland Wasabi I had the fortune to run into Chad Hoover of Hoover Game Production. He is working in collaboration with Time Continuum Entertainment to try and redefine what it means to play an educational game. To this affect they have started the creation of Plank & Zero.
Anime, it is a pretty big deal here in North America. We have a big (and mostly accepted) fan base. We have large corporations that deal in only anime. We even have conventions of all shapes and sizes that cater to the different fandoms of anime. But why is it so popular here? Why do we flock to it? Japan wants to find out.Ladies and gentleman, as many of you now I was at Animeland Wasabi between March 1st and March 3rd. What many of don't know is that I was not along. I had a few friends helping cover the con. Here are their impressions of this years convention.
On March 1, Animeland Wasabi started their 5th year running in Colorado. Below are a compilation of notes I had taken while at the convention, after the convention, and setup in a cleaner, easier to read manner than my random notes.
As posted last week, I have been to Animeland Wasabi. The important part is that I survived. Now I give you the proof of my adventures.
The actual gallery is here.
TOMB RAIDER is set to hit the public tomorrow. Given that I felt it appropriate to post the final video of "The Final Hours of Tomb Raider: Episode Five: The End of the Begginning (Part 2)".
