Bonus – Interview with JAM Project

Here’s a recording of the press conference for anime song super-group JAM Project that was held at Otakon 2008. Thanks to Mike Dent from R5 Central for doing the backbreaking work of editing this, because now we don’t have to! In fact, this is actually just a link to the R5 Central podcast episode. Also special thanks to Tyler from Rangercast; between Mike, Tyler, and us that comprised nearly all of the questions asked during this interview.

Here’s the first of many audio interviews we conducted at Otakon 2008 with some of the members of the Philadelphia Animation Society, an anime club that’s been around since 1982.

From left to right: Sidney, Kevin, Bill, and Jim.

Other news: this weekend is the Providence Anime Conference over in Rhode Island, which we sadly won’t be attending on account that we’re still trying to recuperate after Anime Weekend Atlanta. But in a few short weeks in upstate New York is SITACon, with special guests Gerald and Clarissa! Then after that, it’s EXPCon, followed by Anime Supercon! Man, remember when AWA was the last con of the year? Or when we were able to actually play the videogames we bought?

(please note: Rowena the AL-IEN PRINCESS is not to be confused with Ruruna, the DA-TA-BASE PRINCESS)
