I definitely wanna take a good listen to this one once it's out and ready - I also need to start bringing audio recording stuff to these things . . .
I still stand by the notion that the modern mentality is absolutely hurting the industry - after this week, perhaps it's not killing it, but it's still hurting it - and it's gonna take work from all sides, industry and consumer, to really fix the problem sooner than later. But yeah, it definitely sounds like there've been better "State of the Industry" panels before. Ah well . . .

I wish the management of anime companies would wake up and realize that there are ways of keeping their business and supplying the market that fansubs has established, while not having to lose a profit over it. Instead of thinking of Gonzo as a special case, they should follow their example. I'd be amused to hear you cut this lady's argument to bits.
Can't wait for the show recording to hear who pops up as a guest ^^
Sorry things didn't start out too well. I can't wait to hear that audio. That woman really does sound like an idiot. I hope your disdain showed through a little in your voice.
Any pics of you 'dressed to impress'...? ^^ Guys don't dress nicely nearly enough. It's quite the rarity.
Well, I hope (and imagine) that the rest of the weekend goes better for you. Have fun at theO meetup. Toodles.
