Hey everybody!

It’s me, again! I noticed it’s been a few since I last wrote anything, so I figured I’d just hop on and say,”Howdy!” Not much going on in my scene. Still goofing around with the folks from W.O.T.S. and just got done with a great pre-con practice for FreeCon (can’t wait till the guys post our practice runs of a new game we’re trying out). Also, my Fiancee has just picked out her wedding dress and has been bubbly about it ever since (That’s right! Everyone’s favorite monk IS set to be getting married this year. Sorry to have broken any of your hearts…).

That’s about the it of it, for me. I’m really looking forward to FreeCon and then to being able to see everyone at Metro, Exp, Shado, and every/any con/event we’ll be attending. So, watch out for us and for more awesome content here on the site! Catch you all later!

Upcoming aniRAGE Appearances!

Hey errbody (that’s hip-hop for “everybody”. I’ve been listening to way too much T-Pain and Lil Wayne, I’m afraid). The next few months have some great stuff in store!

We are about two weeks away from MegaCon 2011! Join Zeke and Kerby has they run amok at the convention, taking pictures, shooting some videos, and hanging out with our fellow con friends. No performances this time around, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be finding some fun stuff to do. Look out for us all three days!

Two weeks after that is Tallahassee’s own FreeCon 20011. We are bringing our Whose Line is it aniRAGE? show there, so make sure to check it out! Plus, we’ll be there with our good friends AnimeBelle and if you’ve ever been t one of her panels before, you’ll know it’ll be a blast.

In May is the newly announced Jacksonville Anime Day. Since it’s taking place in Jacksonville, I’m sure you’ll see us there in some form or fashion. Definitely stop by in the area and bring out your costumes for awesome pictures.

The very next month, we are proud to announce that we will be bringing out cameras to Metrocon 2011! Our own photographer Kayla (and Zeke, of course) have gained Press Badges, so we will be scouring the halls for the best cosplay around. And what would Metrocon be without Animebelle’s own Fairy Tale Theater! Make sure to come check out what will be a wonderful performance. We’ll have more info on this as time goes on, but definitely check out Animebelle’s site for up to date information!

This is going to be an awesome year, and I know that I can speak for all of us here in aniRAGE when we say we want to see all of you there!

Until next time,
-Zeke

Hey there little “Red riding hood”: A movie review

How’s it going, everyone?

Just got back from seeing a sneak peek presentation of “Red Riding Hood” and, much like the song by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs… it sure was looking good! I don’t want to put out any spoilers or anything for the movie, but it was a great film. As you can guess, it was a bit of a “creature feature” and being produced by the same folks whom made twilight (bleck… -gags a little.-) it was definately what I would consider a “chick flick”. But, unlike twilight, this was ACTUALLY good. There was enough action and intrigue between the girl stuff that it kept me engrossed the ENTIRE time. The acting was fairly good and the creature effects weren’t too shabby. They went with a similiar theme for “the wolf” as they did for others in previous sappy vampire love stories, but I really enjoyed the look and the story was fairly well written.

In short, Red Riding Hood is, very much, Well worth seeing and I would highly recommend it to ANYONE whom enjoys a good monster movie and/or a love story. Until next time, I’m Miroku bidding you all a “grim” evening… BWa ha ha ha-ack!

Zeke Ruins-Yet-Improves Shitty Pop Songs #1: Tik Tok

Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy
Put my glasses on, I’m out the door – I’m gonna hit this P Diddy
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of P Diddy
Cause when I leave for the night, I ain’t coming P Diddy
I’m talking – P Diddyon our toes, toes
P Diddy on all our clothes, clothes
P Diddyblowing up our phones, phones
Drop-toping, playing our favorite P Diddys
Pulling up to the P Diddy
Trying to get a little bit P Diddy

[CHORUS]
Don’t stop, make it pop
P Diddy, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I’mma fight
‘Til we see the P Diddy light
Tick tock, on the clock
But the P Diddy don’t stop no
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh

[Chorus]
Ain’t got a care in world, but got plenty of P Diddy
Ain’t got no money in my P Diddy, but I’m already here
Now, the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got P Diddy
But we kick ‘em to P Diddy unless they look like Mick Jagger
I’m talking about – P Diddy getting crunk, crunk
P Diddy trying to touch my junk, junk
Gonna P Diddy him if he getting too drunk, drunk
Now, now – we goin’ til P Diddy kick us out, out
Or the P Diddy shut us down, down
P Diddy shut us down, down
P Did shut us –

Don’t stop, make it pop
P Diddy, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I’mma fight
‘Til we see the P Diddy light
Tick tock, on the clock
But the P Diddy don’t stop no
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh

Don’t stop, make it pop
P Diddy, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I’mma fight
‘Til we see the P Diddy light
Tick tock, on the clock
But the P Diddy don’t stop no
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh

P Diddy, you build me up
You break me down
My P Diddy it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my P Diddy up
You got me now
You gotta that sound
Yea, you got me
P Diddy, you build me up
You break me down
My P Diddy, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my P Diddy up
Get your P Diddy up
Put your P Diddy up

No, the P Diddy don’t start until I walk in

Don’t stop, make it pop
P Diddy, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I’mma fight
‘Til we see the P Diddy light
Tick tock, on the clock
But the P Diddy don’t stop no
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh

Don’t stop, make it pop
P Diddy, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I’mma fight
‘Til we see the P Diddy light
Tick tock, on the clock
But the P Diddy don’t stop no
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh

Jericho-Con: A Report

This past weekend, I got to me one of my fav-o-rite wrasslers of all time: Chris Jericho. He was awesome. I got him to sign not only his book, but his DVD, both the case and the jacket. Now I get to give it to someone as a gift, and they get to have Jericho’s autograph as well! Yay presents! Speaking of presents, I even got him to “talk to” Kayla through my camera, so I got to bring her home a present too.

The rest of the weekend was a fun hang-out time in Tampa. I got to see the South Florida aniRAGE Crew (SFaC), consisting of Dashi, Sibby, and Shaggy (and Dashi’s girlfriend of course). We had an awesome time hanging out and experiencing some cool food places that I don’t have up here in Jacksonville.

The coolest (both figuratively and literally) was Yogurt Mountain. It is a yogurt bar where you get to pick your own flavor(s) of yogurt, self serve, and add in your own toppings, and then pay a “by the weight” price. They had all sorts of flavors, from fruity sorbet flavors to cake batter and peanut butter. And the toppings, oh the toppings! From cereals to sprinkles to fruit and candy, just about everything you could imagine. Myself, I went with cookies and cream, mint pieces, followed by vanilla with sprinkles and hot fudge. SO. GOOD.

We also went to a local burger joint called BurgerMonger. They take awesome kobe beef and make amazing burgers with it. It’s a little pricey, but damn is it good!

Needless to say, I felt a lot fatter after that day!

Saturday I made my first trip to Ybor City, but it was so packed that Dashi and I decided to try again another day. All we really wanted to do was check out GameWorks, but that’ll have to be for another trip.

Sunday was a fun time, since I got to hang out with a good friend of mine from Orlando, Sam. It’s all her fault that I got super-duper back into Power Rangers and Dragonball Z. She was even the first person to introduce me to Bleach and Naruto, before it was cool over here (now it’s too mainstream ~Hipster Zeke). I even got to meet the dude who created Metrocon and sit around talking about conventions. Was a fun time, and I can’t wait for the next time I get to make a trip down to Tampa.

The next big trip? MegaCon in Orlando! I’ll be there, will you?
