July 09, 2006ConnectiCon, AX and "Ergo Proxy"...
I was supposed to be a guest at ConnectiCon this weekend (I'd be flying back home right now, as a matter of fact), but a really tight work deadline descended from the heavens and smote me with its page-a-day calendar o' righteousness, so I had to cancel on them. I felt terrible about it, as I was really looking forward to the con, as well just generally hating having to flake out on people. They were awesome and understanding about it--which I'm totally thankful for, but which makes you feel all the worse for having to miss out on spending the weekend with such affable folks.
I did manage to make it to Anime Expo for one day, though--last Sunday. I ran into a bunch of folks I knew, which seems impossible given the huge turnout. It's a good thing folks pipe up when they spot me; I'm so absentminded I'll walk right by a close friend and not even notice them until they call out after me or tap me on the shoulder.
I even ran into one of the students I knew from my days as a teacher at Notre Dame, and she said there were others in attendance:
"No glasses? No uniform? How did this happen?"
"No, I hate Scott Stapp--why do you ask?"
On a non-con-related note, it's been announced online (and at one of the AX panels, I believe) that I've been slated to voice Raul Creed in the English dub of "Ergo Proxy," which is just as stylish and dystopian and sci-fi as a person could want. It's a lot of fun, I'm going to get to play with some awesome VO actors, and I can't wait to see what happens in the 2/3rds of it I haven't watched yet. The show has a definite "Blade Runner"/cyberpunk vibe to it, although neither of those is a totally apt way of describing it.

CommentsWay to go w/ the voice over work! So cool!
Do you have a myspace account?
You can tell I do because it's 2:30 a.m. on a worknight and I'm still at the computer....

I had to shave! Do you have any idea how HOT it is out here? :)

Yes, we know exactly how hot it is, and Chaze still hasn't shaved...
Traitor to the beard... Chuck Norris is ashamed...
We still haven't figured out where the rest of the Pocky went to... Your student's shirt reminded me... Ah, good times...
