Hello all!

Well, we returned from MagFest this past Sunday and all I can say is that it was an AMAZING experience. Great attendees, panels, and entertainment. The hotel was extremely nice and comfortable. I’m 99% I’m going back next year! Great gaming convention with an amazingly down to earth vibe.

On to the highlight of the trip for me: the “Megaman” movie panel. We ere scheduled for Saturday, 4PM. We arrived to our assigned room 10 minutes before presentation and, to my sadness, the room is almost empty…I got nervous. .

4PM comes….PACKED room. All seats filled, people are standing all around the back of room against the walls. And thus, my nervousness subsides. I get up in front of everyone, introduce actor Jun Naito and Producer/Costume Designer David Horowitz. and I say “I guess everyone is here for the Megaman movie, huh?”. LOUD cheer. Oh man, I’m feeling soooo good.

So the 15 minute preview screens. People are laughing at the right play, they are loving the character, loving Megaman, Roll, Wily and all the rest. At the end…..BOOM, LOUD applauses. I get up and ask the crowd “I guess you like it?”. Unified YES from the crowd. I’m overwhelmed with joy. We go into a 40 minute question and answer session. and after that, we pass out special DVD of the trailer and behind the scene footage to those who asked questions.

Afterwards, we signed autographs, chatted with other fans, and just had some fun! It does WONDERS to talk to other fans who truly believe in the film. Really helps one’s morale. Best of all, it’s shows how genuinely nice the supporters are. They were all kind, happy, and fun to talk to! A weekend I’ll never forget…

Also, a few unanswered questions were finally answered but that’s for another day…

This week, expect the “Megaman at MagFest” video which is a video of the Q and A session. Hope you guys enjoy and happy new year to all!

Eddie
