Joe Back from Youmacon 2009!
Hey Guys!
I just got back from Youmacon 2009, my first Anime Convention and Holy Shit it was a Blast! The convention asked the teamfourstar crew (Dragonball Z Abridged) and thatguywiththeglasses.com to be official guests at the show. Representing for the site was of course, Doug Walker (Aka The Nostalgia Critic), Linkara (our Comic book Reviewer) and yours Truly the Angriest of Joe’s!
It was an experience to remember for sure. The Youmacon Staff treated us like V.I.P’s and Mike Michaud C.E.O. of thatguywiththeglasses.com booked us the fanciest hotel room I have ever stayed at in my life!
We participated in Q&A Panels, Riffing on Movies, playing games in the amazing game room stuffed with HDTV’s, mingling with the cosplayers, and a whole lot more (I even jumped into the Rave for a bit).
I never thought id be signing anything for anyone, but the fact that the line was so long for our autograph section on the last day really put the icing on the cake.
Anyway, I took a shit ton of footage: On the Plane, In my Hotel Room, Walking the Floor, Recorded Doug and others as they riffed on Dragonball: The Magic Begins, and of course our own Q&A Panel. Im exhausted but im not done yet, i’ve got my work cut-out for me to put out some videos so you guys could see what it was all about, I’ll start later tonight and hopefully have a few up in the next few days.
Oh my gosh that autograph is mine! Awesome! I loved meeting you Joe! Thank you for the autograph and for posting this!

Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is rolex2u.com, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano.

Hey Joe, I was the M.C. at Youmacon! Glad you guys had fun with all of it, you guys were definitely adored by all the attendees that met ya.
Let me know when you get any of the MST4k footage posted, I’m eager to see what it looks like from the other side.

Wow. Looks like you, Doug and Linkara had a blast, man. We couldn’t get any of the wiki team to Youmacon. Sucks, I know. But, What can you do? I can’t wait to see any footage from this con.
You should definitely do these cons more often!

Greetings from Arizona
It was great meeting ya during the convention. If you don’t remember who I was this picture might intrigue your memory.

Anyway, I’ll keep this short and sweet. Meeting ya and the others at the convention made the trip from the sandy hellhole of Scottsdale worth the swine-flu infected plane ride to Detroit. I do hope we can cross paths again.
btw, I heard my friend Ron (the camera guy from the con) that you met up with him? T/F?

It was outstanding to meet you at Youmacon.
Can’t thank you enough for letting me know what special effects programs you used.
It was always a vague curiosity on my end.
Back to planning out what I want to do. There’s no excuse why I can’t make something awesome at this point. Premiere, decent enough camera, Aftereffects, Vision Lab Studio, tons of gaming knowledge…I’ll figure out a niche.
And if I can get good enough at it, I got Maya on top of that to assist too.
Thanks for the autograph!

Would be awesome to come to Youmacon. Hopefully next time you’ll be there, I’ll have some money. xD

Bummer. That be a pretty expensive international flight right?

Indeed, very expensive. If only there were nice people with lots of money who could just give it to me to do awesome things.

Nice seeing you at the con. I tried to get an autograph on sunday but the line was too damn long and my girlfriend didn’t feel good
Hope we see you at youmacon next year.

Least you had a girl there! Lucky dog. Boy if I had brought a girl and she was dressed up all sexy like. Id be torn between wanting to show her off and being like a HAWK! “You lookin’ at mah girl? Huh? Huh?
Report this comment
lol, I guess so. If only she didn’t catch a cold right before we went, I think she spent more time in the hotel room than at the con.
We did see you guys in the artist area so I guess that counts for something though:), just wish I woulda brought something for you to sign then.

Hey Joe, you may not know me under this name, but we met at Youmancon. I believe you said I was the first person who asked you for your Autograph. It was on an Autograph card for Youmacon. Really cool to meet you, and the rest of the people at That Guy With The Glasses.

I am really glad you enjoyed Youmacon. I hope to see you next year. I am running the Twitter and possibly other online blogging aspects of the con, as well as running a booth there. Youmacon’s twitter is posted as my website. See you next con!
