Uncle Kage visits LA

[Stan Sakai]

Good friend, chairman of Anthrocon, and sometime Dojo poster Dr Sam Conway visited us in LA this past weekend. Here is his Live Journal account of his adventures. I even created a LJ account so I could post a comment. I'm Usagiguy:

He left out the worst part of the journey--stuck at LAX for about 10 hours. No doubt, he will post that part at some other time.

Sounds like Uncle Kage had a great time while in CA, and he certainly does know how to tell an entertaining story based on his livejournal description of the weekend.

Now that you have a livejournal account, maybe you can stop by and visit the "Fans of Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo" (UY_Fans) livejournal Community (31 members currently).

He left out the worst part of the journey--stuck at LAX for about 10 hours. No doubt, he will post that part at some other time.

Actually, the 10 hours spent grumbling at the airport and returning to the frozen wasteland of Pennsylvania at 4:30 AM and having to go straight to work after only a brief shower and hasty breakfast, simply made me appreciate all the more the wonderful time I had with the Sakai Clan. Thanks so much again for taking this scinin* in. Next time, my treat!

...he certainly does know how to tell an entertaining story...

I'll sell you a DVD cheap!

Kage is a wonderful storyteller, and does, indeed, have DVDs for sale. Here is the link to the Anthrocon site. Just click on to "Con Store" for a look at what is available. Besides his DVDs, there are also past con books (including one with a cover by Michel Gagne and myself) and t-shirts.

I suspect at the next Uncle Kage Storyhour that he will tell of his turmoils while stuck at the airport, rather than his time as our house guest. I would like to hear about it myself.
