...but Bennett surprised people when he introduced actor Tom Saiba, a veteran of Japanese sci-fi epics such as Ultraman. Saiba wasn't on the guest list and came as a guest of Ironcat. |
Saiba said more than Calvello, a talkative actor who for once was left speechless by the AWA experience. |
Tim Eldred, the animator who introduced Godzilla TV cartoon footage in 1998, had an announcement which produced a huge cheer. His Dragon Tales animated show on PBS is drawing a larger audience than Barney - and as many viewers as Teletubbies. |
Why does actor Tiffany Grant have a sheepish grin on her face? Word got out that she'd be celebrating her birthday during the convention, and a cake was produced, after which the audience sang "Happy Birthday." The cake read "Happy Birthday Asuka" in honor of her Evangelion character. |
Artist Ed Hill then announced the location of the karaoke contest, which eventually drew an overflow crowd. |
Amy Howard, at her third consecutive AWA, told the crowd that she had meet her fiancé at the 1998 event - and drew a cheer when she flashed her engagement ring. |
