Animefest was a great weekend and I have a bunch of stories I have to tell you all, and a few pictures as well.
I got on the road about 7:30 and hit Dallas traffic, putting me into the hotel at 12:30, but Ran into a bit of a problem... No one was there yet, so I took a nap, and walked around the hotel. The hotel was part of the Reunion Tower which is a very tall restaurant. Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm very scared of heights, but I took a chance and went up there.
In this picture you can see where JFK was shot...

After that I went and did all the things one does when they don't know anything about the city they are in. I went to the bar, but soon, Matt Herms was hanging out and we got to actually hang out aside from convention crap. The next day I went down and the convention was getting started. I took a few pictures and walked around.

I got so much love this convention. People were hugging me, and taking pictures with me, and talking to me. I met a few new web comics... The people at Squirrelworks.com are very cool, and the comics are great! Then there was the reallifecomics.com who post this picture of me...

Don't ya love it!!! Thanks so much guys.
That night I went back up to the bar and hung out with Josh Grelle, Chris Ayres, and Scott McNeal. LOOK THESE GUYS UP ON IMDB.COM!!!! Go now, and check it out... I'll wait...
Okay, now that you're back....
I was hangout out with these guys, just talking about comics, movies, and all the other stuff that friends talk about. It was too cool....
So about one AM... I say my goodnights, and head to my room, but before I get three steps from the bar I hear "SILENT BOB!!!" I turn and I'm called over to a table and start talking to a guy who asked if I would be in the film that he's making, and I'm like... sure, why not.
And as I'm talking to him I ask him who he was... He says I'm Quniton Flynn, and as he tells me what he has done... The smile on my face keeps growing... Once again... www.imdb.com... I'll wait!!!
So the I meet his friend Jeff Nimoy, www.imdb.com again... They want me to be in the new film they are working on... I give Quniton my cell number and the next day I get a call from him asking to film about 7:30 ... and I have to say that it's a funny as hell skit. I'll be sure everyone knows about it when I see it... I'll just say this.... I can act!!! WHO KNEW!!!!
I mean I saw the dailies. And was surprised as hell.
Wait till you see it...
But here are a few more pictures...
So came Sunday night. I was hanging with Chris, and Josh again, and it finally came to 2 am when I was to say good night. So I give my hugs and all that stuff. And as I'm leaving Chris gives me the biggest bear hug I have ever gotten. And he looked me dead in the eyes and asked " When's the next con you're going to be at?"
I say "I hope to make it to Oni-con."
He says " Good, you have to be at Oni-con, you brighten up my con."
That my friends, was one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me!!!
This is Chris, Me, and Josh

Then he grabbed me by my coat and said "Now give me your damn lunch money!"
Monday was the last day of the con and I was making my rounds and saying bye to people when I ran into Cassie... Cassie was helping us film the skit and she was telling me that she was a voice actor, so we where walking around and talking and we see a show that she was in called "Solty Rei... I buy it, and have her sign the DVD. she told me that it was her first time signing anything that she had to do with, so she put a number one next to her name. So that was way cool!!!
All in All it was a fun weekend and I got to hang out with some of the coolest people ever. I'm talking about going to Oni-con in October, and seeing most if not all these guys and gals again... Thank you everyone who was super cool to me! I have never felt as at home as I do then when I'm around you guys!!!
