JACON

Con season seems to have kicked off, and last weekend (Memorial weekend) I spent down in Florida at JACON 09 endgame. I was once again given the opportunity to work for an Anime Dealer hauling merchandise. At first, a 12 or so hour drive wasn’t appealing, but that immediately changed when Cup told me who would be attending…

Stan Bush

This brings me to the real point of this entry… I MET STAN BUSH! For those who are unaware of this man’s greatness, he is a rocker who is responsible for the legendary song The Touch from the Transformers 86 movie. Also, for those Sailor Moon fans out there (looks at Green) he did She’s got the Power for the English soundtrack. The song originally debuted in episode 61… I think. Aside from animation, he’s been on the soundtracks for both Kickboxer and Bloodsport to name a couple. Pretty cool for any of you Jean-Claude Van Damme fans. (Once again looks at Green)

Also managed to get Mr. Stan Bush to sign Green's copy of Bloodsport. Sadly though, during his preformance, Stan Bush didn't play any music from this movie... But who cares!? I got to see him preform all his other hits!!

Geekin’ out aside, the Con on a whole was pretty small. It was your standard hotel con with nothing really new. A couple of funny things happened though. The Hentai panel was closed early as Con staff found 12-year-olds who happened to sneak in. Way to go security. Also, the dance/masquerade was delayed. Then later it was brought to the attention to the people in line that it would bleed into the Rave… so the line was soon mixed with people dolled up and glow sticks. I’m sure people were a bit annoyed... until a couple showed up and started pepper spraying people. At that point I’m sure people were pissed. This closed the dance/rave prematurely. It was the last JACON, something crazy was bound to happen.


hmmm... what seems to be out of place?...

Anywho, that’s pretty much the convention high points for me. Of course there are those crazy drinking stories after the con, but do we really want to know about that.

Till next time,
