What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow:
   "I don't know, but as the dove is the bird of peace, and the eagle is the bird of America,
      the swallow is the bird of love." ::hopeless-romatic-falling-to-his-death sound::
   Thirty-four years old, I find myself perpetually surrounded by those much younger than me. This has the odd effect of both making me think and feel younger, as well as feeling much older. I'm a paladin at heart. There's always a way to succeed and still be the nice guy. Nice guys don't finish last. Sometimes they stop to help their friends along the way. Love may not conquer all, but it's one of the things that's worth fighting for.
   I've done a bunch of music videos over the last seven years, but this is my first major parody work. It was a huge undertaking, and we couldn't have gotten nearly as far as we have without the help of many friends.
   I was conceived under a Christmas tree and was born in hick upstate Pennsylvania in 1966. I moved quickly to correct the situation and lived in Philadelphia for a few years while my parents finished their college. I then lived in southern New Jersey from the age of four until I moved away to college, and now call the Princeton area my base of operations. Painfully single (probably like the majority of people reading this page) and a hopeless romantic, I believe that love is the most important thing in the universe.
   I believe in karma. In the long run, the good will be rewarded and the bad punished. Er, as someone who's been single for seven years, I'm not sure where that puts me...

   [Webmaster's Notice: Since scott has somehow forgotten the stuff he's done, here's a list of what I know he did:
Love Stinks by J. Geils Band to Ranma 1/2
Neverending Story theme to El-Hazard
Spirit of Man by Chris de Burgh to Wings of Honneamise
Shiny Happy People by R.E.M. to Various
Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney & the Wings to Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z
Master & Servent by Depeche Mode to Neon Genesis Evangelion [with no Evas!]
Two Thousand Years by Billy Joel to Giant Robo
Big Time by Peter Gabriel to El-Hazard
Silent Lucidity by Queensryche to Serial Experiments Lain
Pokemon Fight Club commercial to (duh) Pokemon
This is your Life by the Dust Brothers (feat. Tyler Durden) to Dragon Ball Z
   ...And that's it so far...]

   Down with Bush! I'm a fishetarion liberal minded Cook College sophomore with unnatural blonde hair and a deep passion for muenster cheese (especially when I can get it for under 5 dollars a pound). I work at the Department of Environmental Protection where I collect bacteria from natural bodies of water and I electroshock fish so that I can count them and then I eat them!!! cackle cackle cackle... just kidding. I really buy fish from the store, and then I eat them... I love my perverted boyfriend, Randy, and I love a good hug. And finally, I hope that George W. Bush gets a mind disabling disease that causes him to be considered too ill to carry out his presidential duties, to which he contagiously passes onto his intelligent but just as evil vice president, Dick Cheney, through an unconservative act of homosexuality. Then I hope Dick Cheney gets pregnant and has to get an abortion (because a child at his age would ruin his career!) Finally, in Bush's insanity, I hope he stalks Gale Norton by night and rams a gas pipe up her ass. HAVE A NICE DAY!

   Some stuff about Andrew: He's big and tall. And I mean like giant sized. We're talking Jolly Green Giant-sized, without all the chlorophyll. His girlfriend is Rachel... do NOT call him "Andy" unless you want to live in fear of your life. Just kidding. But really, he hates being called Andy.

   Little is known about the shady Taiwanese-made SM bootleg copy of a human. It has been confirmed that his usual base of operations is Princeton, New Jersey, although he currently attends Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Ironic, then, that Otakon is held ten minutes from where he spends the other three-quarters of the year. His previous otaku efforts include Giant Robo to "Two Thousand Years", a helping hand in Lain to "Silent Lucidity", and the Pokemon: Fight Club commerical parody, all of which were collaborations with Mister Melzer.
   He also camps out in his dorm at 5:30 PM every weekday to watch the Batman-meets-Giant Robo series The Big O on Cartoon Network during the college months.
   He will kill you if you insist that "All Your Base" is still cool.

   I was born in the back of a 1972 Chevy stationwagon... this has permanently scared me. Now, a freshman at Princeton University, I am venting these pent-up issues through being Treasurer, and President elect of Anime Manga Princeton, and by starring in fan-parodies. Next stage in the healing process, music videos...

   I'm very dense and forgetful. I've been an otaku for almost two years. And, I've lived in Princeton my whole life. Enough said.

   Deep in the trenches of Belle Mead, New Jersey lies dormant the most evil and hideous person ever to walk the earth... Damn, it's scary that something that horrible lives in the same town as me.
   I attend Raritan Valley Community College, where I am getting a wonderful associates degree in Film Production and Computer Engineering. After that, I plan to transfer to finish my major in Film Production.
   This will be my second year at Otakon and I will be contributing a music video this year; Neon Genesis Evangelion to My Own Prison by Creed. Other than that, I enjoy collecting and watching anime, but this doesn't mean that I don't like real life movies. My favorite movie of all time is Army of Darkness, which contains the best B actor ever, Bruce Campbell, as well as an awesome director, Sam Raimi.

   Ever since returning from a brief trip to Japan last summer, Charles retreated to his underground lair somewhere in Princeton, NJ, swearing not to emerge until being able to perform SSR Afronova in Double mode. After a bizarre pad-slipping accident, his quest was put on hiatus while he attended school at Lehigh University, claiming to be a full-time student, but actually rehabilitating his horribly entangled legs.
   Previous Otakon projected include minor yes-manning for "Silent Lucidity" and finding that one good shot of a building blowing up for "Shiny Happy People".
