Anime Expo and 5XL

So, this is sort of in response to Torak’s comment on my last entry, but it warrants a new entry so you all see it.

For those of you who have delved into my webpage, you may be aware that I play keyboards in a band called 5XL. Well, we’re performing at Anime Expo (in Southern California the end of this week), so anyone who wants to come by, we’re performing on Saturday at 4pm in the Renaissance Hotel (across the street from the Long Beach Convention center), ’cause that’s where they’re holding their concerts and live events.

Miscellany

Okay, I’ve got a few things to share with you today:

  • First, a story about how the little amount of Japanese I know actually came in handy. Back when I was interviewing for jobs, I interviewed with a Japanese game company, just for kicks. Well, of the two people interviewing me, only one really knew English, so he was translating quite a bit for the other. At one point, they ask what I like to do in my spare time, and I say I like to play with my computer, play computer games, that sort of thing. The non-english speaking guy comments to the other “ah, konpyutaa otaku,” to which I reply “oh, I’m not that bad.
  • Well, today is now the third day of ten in a row off of work. This evening, I will be travelling to Southern California for my cousin’s wedding tomorrow, then Anime Expo for the rest of the week. Needless to say, I probably won’t be posting in LJ. But you never know…
  • I forgot the third thing. Oh well.
