Otakon, Here We Come
Two days left, and I back from Jersey to make the final preparations for the Kon. We have alot of special things planned that we hope we can pull off, but you can expect a ginormous amount of pictures and stories!
Also, I will be having interviews with Mitsukazu Mihara (author of Doll), Toshihiro Kawamoto (Character designer for Cowboy Bebop), Richard Cox (Voice of Inuyasha). I am now taking submissions for fan questions for these interviews! Please post your questions in the comments section as well as a way I can contact you if your questions are selected.
Unfortunately, I have been told that these interview are subject to change even up to the last second, so these are not guaranteed. Keep your fingers crossed guys.
If you are gonna be down there and want to meet up, please drop a line in the comments section as well. I am always looking foward to meeting new people and am hoping to run into a few fans at the Kon!
Hope to hear from ya and have a safe time getting to Baltimore!

You might already have this one, but I was wondering if you could ask her how she gets inspiration for her stories. :3 I've always wondered that...
Is there a possibility that pictures might be taken? ;I
I was wondering if it would be possible to ask her..
a ) At what point did she decide that she would enjoy to pursue being a professional artist, and why?
and also..
b ) Who were her earliest influences for her artwork?
thank-you. :)
I always thought that her illustrations had some couture influences. What are some of her favorite fashion designers that always inspire her?
A question for Ms. Mitsukaz!
Do you get any of your outfit inspirations from the young people of Tokyo on the streets?
CAN'T WAIT.
yo. i met you at otakon and you seem like a bit of a diva.
i think its a bit unfair to take the time of some of these people you interview when all you do is a one time a week radio show at a tiny college.
im not saying that you suck or anything, i just think you shouldnt take yourself so seriously. i heard you work at an ice cream place or something.
if you have some amazing resume that i dont know about i will eat my words but from all i can see you have just had a few interviews and went to chill with blood for a few days.
Craig, that has to be the longest post I have ever seen in my life! Thanx for taking my back man.
As for you Mr. Anonymous, Craig is exactly right so I won't repeat what he says, but I will add two things.
First of all, all of my interviews know ahead of time that I am a 3 hour a week college radio show, and they decide to give me their time. I don't lie, and I sure as hell don't force myself upon them. If I did either, not only could I not get to interview them as they always do extensive background checks to make sure the person is not a whack job, but they would tell other people in the community and I'd never get an interview again.
Second, when the show actually does go on air, you'll see I have no ego to speak of what so ever. You can ask any fan of Bad Transitions about that. Sure, at Otakon and other con's I'm a publicity whore, but that's because I want people to know there is a radio show out there that cateres (It's 7 am and I just woke up so I'm not even gonna see if that's spelled right) to what they like. Most people seemed to be excited that some one out there is playing J-Rock on the air waves, and I'm happy that I could brighten their day up that much. If I offended you, it was not intended. I just ask that you give the show a chance when we go on air in September.
Trust me man, I'm no Joe Cox. I'm just a normal guy looking to start a career and working as hard as I can at it. I have no ego at all, and I don't prance around like "I'm so pretty!". I don't know why you got this impression of me, but I thank for atleast saying "im not saying that you suck or anything..." and having it be a totally immature lame bashing (though immaturity is more than welcome in my comment boards). I just hope that if you are a fan of J-Rock, Goth, the other kinds of music I will be playing, or the people I interview that you will still give Tainted Reality a chance.
But if you still think I'm a narcisitic pretty boy who prances around anime conventions just to hang with celebrities and have everybody tell him how great he is, you are more than welcome to keep ramming it into my head like a jack hammer here, or you can even call up the station while I'm on air and tell me how much of an ass I'm making of myself.

P.S. How did you hear about my ice cream job? Coz I actually sell more water ice on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and oh, don't even get me started on Saturdays! I just needed to clear that up.
i didnt mean to be so insulting. and why are you getting so defensive, all i said was dont take yourself too seriously man. other people had worse things to say about you than i do, i met a bunch of people who think you are a complete ass. i dont think you are, i just think you might get a bit full of yourself sometimes.
btw, whats with that gay little pose you are doing in all the otakon pics?
Well, they would be right. I am a complete ass!

P.S. It's because I'm a fag
dont say shit like that, im just letting you know the impression people are getting of you so can hopefully change it.
To anonymous-
You obviously haven't come in contact with many pompous J-rock fans who are "full of themselves." I hate to break it to you, but Roger is quite the opposite. In fact, he's probably the most professional J-rock/goth fan I've come across, especially considering his status since the Blood interview. As Craig said, he takes himself serious because he conducts a serious show in terms of devotion. Just because Roger's a fan of what he's involved in doesn't mean he's unprofessional about it. Tainted Reality is no romp through the park. It's work with its let-downs and rewards. Roger didn't "chill with Blood for a few days." He worked and stressed just like any other job.
Your down-play on how he makes a living during the summer and his current career as a student has nothing to do with how well he conducts himself on air and around the people he interviews. His work and education support the show financially and academically. Everyone has to start somewhere. Stratch that. Roger's already well on his way as a radio host, seeing as he's been doing this for awhile. He's the closest thing to a professional DJ who regularly plays J-rock and such.
My advice for the future is to show more respect to people you barely met. I'm not sure who's been saying Roger's full of himself, but they obviously got the wrong impression of him and probably never listened to Bad Transitions while he was a co-host. Come to think of it, have you ever listened to it?
people, im not saying roger is unprofessional or stupid or anything. its just that when i met him all he was doing was complaining about interviews, i would have liked to have acctually had a conversation with him. im sure hes a great guy. i guess you are all just taking what im saying the wrong way so im going to stop. good luck with the show.
Dude, you obviously have my card. If you wanna talk to me, shouldn't you just IM me?
