The Con Survival Show ...recorded live on July 31st, 2006.


This week talked about anime conventions and how to survive, stay alive, and see Johnny #5! ...okay well not Johnny #5... he was pretty cool. Anyhow, since Otakon is near, we of course chatted about it and we thought it would be appropriate to mention some con survival tips. We had a ton of feedback, and a couple of nicknames. Find out some of our con going secrets!!! Listen to this weeks show and find out what, where, and when! ...hi jefferson...

Flame of the Week by Bryce :: (hatemail@otakugeneration.net)
NOthing to be "flipped this week"... direct any of your flames / hatred to Bryce at: hatemail@otakugeneration.net, and he'll flip it to something amusing. Don't be nasty, or rude... this might not last as a segment idea, but we thought we'd give it a try.

OG "guess the character in the envelope" Contest
Bryce had a great idea for a contest...

The cast has picked an anime character, wrote it down on a piece of paper, and sealed it up in an envelope. You the listener must figure out who the "character in the envelope" is...

For this first week we just made the announcement of the contest. The prize will be a pack of goodies, a Lisa Ray CD, a T-Shirt from J-List, and maybe something more *hint*hint*cough*...

So you ask what are the rules? Well they're pretty simple. First off, we will only accept one guess per email, once a week. If you put more than one guess, in an email, we will only take the first guess.

You cannot enter more then once an week, and not more then once per email. Please pay attention to the use of the word "character", it could be a person, animal, car, mech, bryce, paul, a tree, a rock (assuming they are portrayed as "character" some how), almost anything.

Each week will reveal a little more about the "character in the envelope" in an anime, until some one guesses it right, and wins.

As usual listen to the show for more details, and email your guesses to: otaku.generation@gmail.com, and use the subject line of: OG CHARACTER IN THE ENVELOPE CONTEST
