Up a Paddle Episode 38 - Wait, where was I?
I was on vacation!!! Yay me.  So I talk about that, Anime Expo, E3, and a classic 80's Anime gem. Except for the classic part.  And gem.  Listen to find out more. 

Just a fair warning.  This episode was more geared towards my family so that we'd have a record of the things we did on vacation (aside from photos and whatnot).  So if you find it boring, it probably is, and it will only get worse as I've got at least 2 to 3 more podcasts worth of vacation stuff to talk about.  Consider yourself warned.

You can get it here: Anime Pacific
(scroll down near the bottom of the blog post.  Actually, just listen to their review instead.  Much better.  Although mine does have a lot more awkward pauses and a healthy dose of umms and you know's)

Thanks go to Dane of Anime Pacific for encoding it.
