CAN WE PRETEND THAT AIR-A-PLANES IN THE NI-EE-T...
(I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right no-o-ow. God, I heart you, Hayley Williams. OK—on to the post.) I rarely talk about my dreams—let alone, I rarely remember them.

TOKYO OTAKU MODE: AN INSPIRING OTAKU STORY →
Remember when Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “I have a dream?” The Japanese were listening. And so was this awesome and inspiring crew of Nippon natives.

COMING SOON: "I Am An Anime Game Show Host—And Not...
So…yeah. Dirty secret: I’m a game show host for anime conventions. The game is “Anime Trivia Trap,” based off a Mark Goodson cult classic from 1984 (the year of my birth! And now you know my age). I’m preparing a little ditty about this geeky gig I’ve been gigging since 2009—a dream come true yet far from complete. Full story coming soon, and yes, this program...

But for one day, I played that airy, smiling cartoon character at a celebration this past Friday. Professionally, I am a DJ/event producer with Fig Media in Chicago. Personally, I am an anime fan, and have been for almost twenty years. On...

For my Xanga subscribers of long past: After a long and blissful relationship with Mrs. X, yours truly, “the_real_folk_blues,” is moving on with a new, jazzier song in his heart. Here. Welcome to my new blog! I haven’t blogged in AGES. I can probably count that high, just not now. The name of my new blog is called “visions from a steep hill.” You will be reading daily bits of interest and...
