Ohayocon |
| Charity Roast | |
| 2004 |
| Page 1 of 2 | Previous Page | Next Page |
 Here are the subjects - some might say `victims' - of the last two Ohayocon charity roasts, which raised money for the American Cancer Society. Standing is 2003 honoree Toshi Yoshida, and sitting is 2004 honoree Amanda Winn Lee. |
 Lee had to put up with the party stories from the pictured Jan Scott-Frazier and others. Yoshida recalled a Lee drinking game called "up the river, down the river," and he had stories about how Lee twice accidentally got black eyes at conventions (which explains the sunglasses she was seen to wear). |
 Before Lee moved to California to start the independent Gaijin Productions, she worked for ADV Films, where producer David Williams remembered how Lee tried to make a party drink named after the Blue Seed series, then couldn't remember her home address. |
 Much of Lee's California work has been for Manga Entertainment, and producer Keith Burgess. He told a story about a fan at a Louisiana convention who tried to get too familiar with Lee, and received some baleful stared for his trouble. |
 Jason Lee, Amanda's husband, spent his time at the podium with a version of one of his famed stand-up comedy acts, where he ragged on everyone at the dias. There's no way we could reproduce what he said about his wife for a family audience... |
 ...but we can note a small bit of what ADV's Matt Greenfield mentioned, mostly when he said Lee once brought her "better than sex chocolate cake" to the studio. |
