Hello all!
In response to the current "how old is everyone" question: I am 30 and
became interested in anime about 2.5 years ago, but not enough to go
beyond the local rental store. Then I saw a pre-release copy of
Animeigo's sub for OMG #1 at Duckon 3 in June 1994. I haven't had a
spare dollar since, am second-in-command of the local anime club, and
my J-TV:US-TV ratio has gone to at least 6:1.
Also, this recently appeared in my inbox:

It certainly does NOT mean me! On my last trip to Chicago's Yaohan
(about 6 hr from here), I picked up a copy of AMS color manga #3, a
Japanese gun magazine (appropriately entitled "GUN"), and a copy of
Ribbon. The lady at the counter bagged the whole works without comment,
but I did get some VERY strange looks from some of the other customers,
especially the college student behind me in line. O.K., so I like
reading gun magazines and little girls manga; you have a problem with
that?
Perhaps I need to get out more often...
