The official retirement of "Free Pocky" Otakon 2007-Otakon 2008

Alright, i've decided to make a formal retirement of "Free Pocky", due to the fact that I almost got kicked out of a convention and figured that would ruin Out-of-Time Productions.  Other than the fact, also that everything I have worked with Out-of-Time would be tarnished and would basically go down the drain.

The segment started as an idea from a friend that I met at Otakon 2007.  He told me about what he did with it and i tried it out.  The skit was alright, except for the fact that I stood still.  It sounded like he was disappointed in the fact, which in the end makes me even more disappointed cause I let someone down.  So, I tried to "redeem" myself by doing the same skit at the New York Anime Festival 2007.  I waited 'til the last day to do it that way, if I get kicked out it's on the last day of con.  So I did it and was proud of myself cause I actually ran and people chased me.  It felt so good that I actually did it a second time, which was even better.  LoL

I ended up doing the skit at Katsucon and AnimeNEXT.  However, they were done differently.  At Katsucon, I just stood up at the cosplay masquerade and asked who wanted free pocky.  It was easy.  At AnimeNEXT, a bunch of us figured that we should try to give it away in a crowd.  Then we went overboard, asking people for stupid stunts.  I look back on it now and it was a bit over the line.  However being the dumbass that I am, I did it again at Otakon 2008.  However, this one was planned pretty well.  I had two cameras following me, with Jon on top of the balcony with one camera and Krissy was on the floor with me with the other.

The skit started off fine with the usual introduction, then the screaming of "Free Pocky".  However, it ended badly.  An official from Otakon came up to me and wanted to see my ID.  This point I figured that I knew I was in trouble.  So, I had to show my ID and then she asked me to go with her.  I had to stay in front of her the entire time, but that's what you get for doing the stupid things that we do here.  Anyways, she escorted me to the office.  This is where it gets tricky, I had to sit down and wait, while the official made an "official" account of what happened. To make a long story short cause this blog got me bored, I got off with a warning.  I'll describe the scene at some point, but I'll definitely let you know more about it.

The Aftershow - Ep01

Hey guys, it's the first episode of a new series based on all the interviews that I have conducted throughout the conventions that I have been to. From the I-Con 26, which is the first convention that I have ever covered, to MangaNEXT 2008, where we were last at. The interviews will have my questions that I have asked. The first one was with the Gryffin-whores, a Harry Potter influenced duo that mixes sex appeal with the look of girl next door. Plus also, they were involved with Out-of-Time Productions and pretty much they will get views from our viewers on YouTube. The second interview was conducted from myself and Mark at the New York Anime Festival 2008 in September. It features "Project Aiko", which is a robot based around the maid from the maid cafe. It was created in Canada and can express feelings. It can also react to different situations including feel. If you rub this robot the wrong way, then it will know and give you the business.
