[COLOR="Blue"]Hey out there everyone.
Well, I'm from Boston, land of ideals, funny accents, and the best damn seafood out there.
Last year, there was a small con held at a local hotel not to far from the famous M.I.T. campus. "New England Fan Con." At first I wasn't really interested, until I found out who were going to be guests there. Namely, voice actors Vic Mignogna, and Johnny Yong Bosch.
Cool.

I met Vic the year before in Philidelphia, where I gave him this custom-made t-shirt.
It was blood red, and on the front in big black letters it said:
"COLONEL MUSTANG IS DEAD SEXY!" and on the back it read: "IN A MINI-SKIRT!"
That got the crowd cheering.
I wondered if he would remember me. He did, to my surprise.

Meeting Johhny was a little different. I grew up watching Power Rangers when I was younger, and I was meeting one of my childhood heroes!
I had a fanboy spaz. When I met him, I starting bowing down to him chanting "I'm not worthy!" Johnny responded by saying: "Dude. Your worthy, your worthy! Get up your embaressing me." He signed my Bleach season one box.

It gets better.
I met with one of the stars of "Firefly", who was this really cute girl.
Get this. One of the guests is this one guy whom I never met, and he yells out "Hey! Goku!" (I cosplay as Goku, you see.) And he fake sucker-punches me.
And he challenges me to fight right there in the hallway.
It turns out it was Daniel Logan. Young Boba Fett from "star wars episode II."
And he's a BIG Dragonball fan.
We kept teasing each other for the rest of the con.

But the best part was the saturday night dinner, and the sunday morning breakfast.
I got eat with both Vic and Johnny at both. And Vic's girlfriend, Michelle.
Vic and I are friends now.
Be afraid, be VERY afraid.

That's my story.
What do you guys think?[/COLOR]

You bet it was!
Johnny is a pretty cool guy.
He has kind of a dry wit, like I do.
I think his best moment was at Sunday morning breakfast.
I went up to Johnny and I said "GOOOOD MORNING! LIFE IS WONDERFUL!"
Johnny looks at me and says: "Dude. It's too early. Coffee."
Good times were had by all.[/COLOR]
