Welcome to the Wasabiverse
I’m in Jacksonville, Florida…
I’m here with the Wasabi Anime team to run events for this year’s Ancient City Con. Even though we’ll be in the thick of things running convention events – I will do my best to continue the discussion regarding a Bot-tacular trade show sometime tomorrow. A lot of folks sharing a lot of opinions, but sadly a number of them are still missing the point.
That’s why we have the Interwebz, though: free expression and the right to argue like geeks about events surrounding popular toys from our adolescence.

Believe it or not, I normally don’t plan to go to Dragon*Con each year. When I do go, I’m usually only there for a day or two at the most. This year, though, I did the “full” Dragon*Con weekend experience by showing up on on the first day of the event and leaving on the

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

This weekend was an epic undertaking. Kudos to the team from Wasabi Anime and the Mint Chocolate Chippies for some outstanding work these past four days. Also, a big congrats to the folks at Cosplay Deviants for hosting a couple of tremendously successful events over the last two evenings. There was a lot of good

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
