I am IMMORTAL! ;-)

On the advice of a friend who already picked it up, I just bought a
copy of the October 1999 issue of "Animage", the Japanese anime
magazine. In it there is a 2-page spread on Anime Expo from July on
page 120-121. Of particular interest is that on p. 121 there are some
little comments and related sketches by a few of the Japanese GoHs.
One of these was Ms. Sachiko Kamimura, (who did art work on "Venus Wars"
and other anime), who drew a little sketch of ME in my LoGH admiral's
uniform, obviously from the opening of the masquerade. When they
introduced the judges each one stood up and took a bow, and when they
got to me (since I was one of AX masquerade judges) I stood up, waved
my Field Marshal's baton and shouted "Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!" Since we
judges were at the very front, the Japanese GoHs reserved seats were
right behind us, so she was probably only a row or 2 behind me when I
said this. In her little sketch she shows me shouting this and she
inserts herself in the corner commenting (I am told) "Hey Mister - if
you said that in Japan you'd get stabbed by the fans!" (Anyone who can
read Japanese and can get this issue verifying the translation or any
of the other surrounding comments would be appreciated). But hey - I
got a sketch in Animage! Woo woo!
