Delayed Reaction!

Yeah, I know Youmacon was a little under a month ago but it appears that Post Con Depression has finally gotten to me.

Honestly, I'd have to say that Youmacon this year was one of the happiest moments of my life so far. Those were the shortest three days I've ever seen before. To all the awesome people I met and hung out with there: I miss you all so much!

This video made me tear up a little bit:

The That Guy With The Glasses Panel from Youma

AngryJoe just posted up the video he recorded of the That Guy With The Glasses panel from Youmacon (which Vic and I were at). It was a blast to attend, and I'm so glad I managed to get my question answered (I almost got skipped over).

I was the one that asked about the shirts and if there will ever be an actual bum off the streets doing a Bum Reviews. That, and shouting "YOU'RE A LIE!!!" when people started shouting "the cake's a lie!".

Still Not Convinced About Youmacon?

Yeah, yeah, some of you are thinking "SHUT UP ABOUT YOUMACON ALREADY!", but trust me, it's worth babbling on about. You'll also probably never hear a word of it again a few weeks down the road.

If you're still wondering about Youmacon, here's a video put together by the local Detroit news:

More Youmacon!

Remember that Youmacon I was talking about a bit back? Still not convinced you should go to it? Then think again!!!!!

Back to what I was saying - there's a little over a week left until it happens. If you're not convinced yet, maybe this ad'll change your mind:



Yeah, I realized it's a tad bit on the creepy side. Remember though, it's happening on Halloween weekend so that's why...

If not, that would explain some of the weird stuff I saw last year.

Youmacon 2009 News + Contest

It is officially one week (well, not date exactly) until Youmacon will be happening. Pretty much all of us here at Gentlemen and Hand Grenades will be there at least one of the days there. So if you see us, feel free to say "hi". I'll be Dan Hibiki on Friday, Keroro from Sgt. Frog on Saturday and The Hunter from Left 4 Dead on Sunday.

In fact, stopping us will tie into a contest we're having. If you talk to us and want to be part in the contest, stop us and say "Marmalade" and mention the contest and you'll receive a random prize from us. Could be anything ranging from a copy of Norton Gaming Edition to a little vial with a Boxelder Bug in it to an old hard disk I have lying around to last year's program guide. And if you want (though I doubt we're to this point yet) we can sign it for you.*

Along with the contest, there will be a plethora of videos and pictures taken by us at the con and maybe an interview or two with one of the guests.

If you're interested in going, the entry fee is $20 for Friday and Sunday and $25 for Saturday. Thursday night is free though. See you there!
