Geeky Dinner at Furaibo

This really belongs in work blog 1, but since it's currently moving to a new location, I'll just write in here for now.

Steph messaged two nights ago saying Jerry was in town & wanted to know if we could meet up for dinner. When we were making a list of who to invite, we realized everyone had to be old folks who've been in the industry for a long time.

Anyway, we decided to meet up at Furaibo in West LA.

Here's an update on their lives:

Steph: got a voice agent. Apparently a lot of actors are signing up w/ agents now because『ア』VA's are finally getting recognition now & can get work.

Jerry: now works at Sega as inbound licensing acquisitions guy. He gets to read early scripts to planned movies to determine what games to make. He moved to SF. His g/f may follow after school, so he says.

Stephen: still enjoying his "retirement." He went to Japan in Dec and bought a lot ofヲタsutff.

Michael: he's voicing in an adult swim show called Venger Brothers? I'm sorry I don't know anything outside of anime. He'll be in the panel at Comic Con.

No updates needed for Toshi, Steve (ponytail) and じゅるる.

We just talked about geeky stuff. Mostly work related, people related to work, and iPhone.

I think we were really old compared to all the college-aged kids at Furaibo & at Volcano Boba Tea. But a lot of us started working in this industry around that age... 10 years ago!? Gosh, we're old.
