Welcome to the Wasabiverse
Joey & Tom’s Excellent #Botcon Adventure – this weekend!
Let’s see… three weekends ago I was in Cancun. The weekend after that: Orlando for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Last weekend? Miami for Florida Supercon. And now:
I’m back in Orlando for Botcon.
So myself, Joey Snackpants and special guest star and fellow Transformers geek Tentacle Chris will be braving the world of Transformers collectors in Orlando, Florida. Afterwards, Joey and I will be penning a review for the popular pop culture blog You Bent My Wookie.
Follow my Twitter for photos and updates all weekend as we see how Hasbro serves up an event for fans in sunny Central Florida. Look for the #Botcon hash tag READ the shocking details:
- How much money will Joey spend in toys his parents already bought him over twenty years ago?
- Will Tentacle Chris find someone else who also thought Transformers Animated was cool?
- What has Stan Bush been doing since JACON last year?
- Can the boys battle their way through the hardcore fans to meet Peter “Optimus Prime” Cullen?
STAY TUNED!

In order get the full impact of this story you need a little history. First off, Edward James Olmos made this comment about seven years ago… “I’m going to be the first one to say it really clearly, ‘Please tell your readers, do not watch this program.’ … If you are a real, real staunch

You know, if BotCon truly is such a GREAT convention AND you think that the review from Joey Snackpants and I penned was wrong because we “didn’t spend enough time” there – wouldn’t it make sense to want us to come back and experience it again to see if we were wrong and write a

The beginning of August was pretty damn busy. Wasabi Anime made an amazing appearance at Gen Con in Indianapolis, Indiana. The rest of the month, though, has been (happily) convention free. Sometimes staying at home CAN be a vacation. Next month seems to be stacking up fairly fast. My weekends in September are starting look

A number of things happened last night here at Gen Con which brought to mind (at least to me) Mr. Snackpants’ rules for life (which can all be read here.) This one, though, sticks out the most in my mind for folks regarding things yesterday evening. 25. Do not be ‘that guy’.

This weekend I am in Indianapolis, Indiana in an attempt to take Shannon to one more city we have never been to so she can buy another Hard Rock Cafe teddy bear, thus bringing the collection to 24 bears. Oh yeah, and there’s some sort of gaming convention going on here, too. Wasabi Anime is

So remember the video we took of Joey Snackpants meeting Peter Cullen – the voice of Optimus Prime? (If not, click here.) WELL, it seems someone is pissed at us for… well, I can’t be sure. I want to assume this is another “bot-tard” (a nickname someone fed me in a conversation) from all the

I have been insanely occupied with about a thousand and one things in the past week. My wife celebrated her birthday this past weekend and, if my sister-in-law can get me the photos, I will do a write up regarding the masterpiece of planning I pulled off with that. Things are hectic at “the day

Is it Wednesday already? Last weekend, I went and saw Weird Al Yankovic perform in concert in Boca Raton, Florida with my friends Lyn and Ryan. Our seats were pretty good – and you can see in this video: The concert was AWESOME (to say the least.) Afterwards, we went to Boomers in South Florida.
Are we still taking about #Botcon, BotFAIL and Beast Wars? You betcha!

Seriously. I really thought this would be over by now. I should be posting more stories from my weekend in Colorado… but I guess not. LOL I am reposting part of my reply I made to someone in one of my other posts as part of this update to address some of the really inane
Okay #BotCon & Beast Wars fans… here’s your chance.

So – the argument seems to have shifted from “Tom & Joey suck because they hate BotCon” to “Tom & Joey suck because they hate Beast Wars.” For years, we’ve presented an effective argument as to why Beast Wars kills the franchise… and argument that we have never presented on the Internet since it’s key
