Anime USA 2012 – page 4
It probably doesn’t help that we were doing this panel at 11:30 Friday morning, literally at the start of the convention. It usually takes me at LEAST a full day to get properly wound up.
Speaking of which: yes, the panel DID happen, just not at a time anyone was used to (seriously, people were asking me about it all weekend) I’ll be posting the playlist on the Facebook page in just a bit.
(Historical Notes: There’s more to be said about how weird the scheduling for this convention truly was, because Awesomely Bad was NOT the only thing at a weird time that nobody expected, but I’m distracted by thinking about how much worse the Awkward Pauses would be once we got to that one AWA a few years down the line. Just you wait, folks… but yeah, scheduling was bad. I heard from people who were LITERALLY ON THE PANEL STAFF who hated when their own panels were placed on the schedule.)
Not one of my finest “I have to run to the restroom” moments. Oops. Course with the weird scheduling that year, everything was out of sync!
Still, off the top of my head, that’s the only time I can remember this happening. You’re usually FREAKISHLY good at re-emerging just at the right moment before the video ends.
