Yeah, but only after we got past Box, then met the old man. He had a LOT of cats!

It does help, but not as much as the chorus of "Let's go to Disneyland" from the creators after it ran at Fanime.

What is most interesting is that my wife has never been on the ride, so her only experience with the music is the many times I played it in the car, followed by the AMV itself. I am very interested in taking her on the ride and hearing her response to the music in its original context.

A big shout-out to Jerry Goldsmith, wherever he may be....

That's you? Well, why don't I just roll over and concede the drama category, then? Now I REALLY don't stand a chance!

hehe true true. Funny story, For her 30th birthday thats what she wanted for her birthday so i got her the dvd.

but back to AMVs.

Regarding this dinner thing... I will likely not be able to make it unless I can sneak away from my con duties...can I request to be kept in the loop as to where it is happening. Maybe Anneke can go if I cannot escape Nokia.

Are you kidding? Count on it! I am quite familiar with Little Tokyo, having spent many a lunch there while working for a downtown accounting firm for 9 years.

Where does Rider want to have dinner? Yagura Ichiban, perhaps?

A very valid excuse. No shame in it....

It'll be at Oiwake.

I think it's close to Anime Jungle.

Which is in the same mall as Yagura Ichiban. After dinner, we should all do karaoke there...

Congrats to the finalists, I'm looking forward to seeing the AMVs in that theater.

I broke several of my own "rules" of AMV making with my video, I'm glad everyone will get a chance to see it.

But you still kept the editing "old school." Mostly edits and hardly any effects at all. I particularly liked the way you assigned the horn section to the train. Made perfect sense.
