This weekend Crysta and I drove to the Twin Cities to attend the reception for my friend Topher's (and his now Wife Nicole's) Wedding Reception. It was a good time, and I managed to get a little bit of   more...footage of the evening.  less

From March 2006. The commercial for a fictional "unique" musical compilation.

Mostly it boils down to "Alcohol + Karaoke at 4am + Peso = The Best Musical Experience Possible." A bunch   more...of us were at MarsCon 2006 promoting NoBrandCon, and we ended up in the Karaoke room overnight.

...and Peso kept drinking... and Peso kept singing... and my friend Robert and I kept filming...  less

Crysta and I loaded up the van and drove down to Geek.kon in Madison this weekend to vend for Rising Stuff, promote No Brand Con, and otherwise have a fairly good time. I only have a tiny bit of footage,   more...but I've done my best to make it appear at least slightly interesting.  less

The one thing the world needed more than anything else was a Heavy Metal song about a Sandwich. Seriously. As performed Live at No Brand Con 2008.

Happy Wednesday (the Nerd Rock Comedy Act I front) performs His Tentacled Glory (a 'Cthulhu Worship Song') live at No Brand Con 2008. (Many apologies for the shaking camera)

A bunch of us NoBrandCon staffers went down to Geek.kon in Madison. Along with the Taeliac Studio crew, we manage to have some fun and look rather silly at the same time on the UW Madison campus.

Some old friends of mine came to visit from Japan for a week. See what happens when you put me, Peso, and Vinnk in a room together. Seriously... it's mildly funny.

We just put on our sixth NoBrandCon this last weekend. Here are the highlighted sections I was able to actually catch on video (as I was incredibly busy).

Stress builds as the convention looms in a week. I'm not getting much sleep, and there's so much work to do... on the other hand, it's a gorgeous day out right now...

It's only two weeks until NoBrandCon 6 (the anime convention I co-founded and help run) and I'm a bit stressed out... that, and, ROBOTS! I mean, c'mon, Robots need Hugs too.

So my vlog about Kakkoi|Con seems to have riled up the people at MixBeat Productions. That in mind, I decided to go through their particular concerns and examine exactly what they think is going on.

The ongoing storyline for No Brand Con ( http://www.nobrandcon.com/ ) continues

NoBrandCon runs a room party at MarsCon every year, and this one was no different. As I did in 2007, I documented our now mildly infamous Party. All in all, it was a fun time -- except for one crazy person   more...who should never be given the illusion of authority.

So, at NoBrandCon 2007, I performed "Jello" with To Slay Zombie Newton during the annual Variety Show. Congoer "Cheesus" caught it on tape, and was nice enough to get me the video   more...file. I should note that my voice was almost completely gone after having hosted 10 hours worth of events at this point. (http://www.zombienewton.com/ - http://www.trhonline.com/ )  less

I go to MarsCon 2007, in Bloomington, MN, to help run the NoBrandCon sponsored room party. Hilarity ensues... sort of. We meet old friends, make new ones, and make fools of ourselves.

From May 2006. "When in Doubt, don't be afraid to act like a moron." Because having fun is more important than looking cool.

From April 2005. A grown man dresses up like a member of an underaged J-Pop group.

This is a short tribute to something strange that my friend decided to do at NoBrandCon 2005. What is that you ask? Dress   more...up as a member of Mini Moni. Yeah, that's pretty damned weird if you ask me.  less

From April 2006 - My short Mockumentary on "Duct Tape Boy"

I produced this for NoBrandCon (http://www.nobrandcon.com/), an anime convention I'm a co-founder of. Duct Tape Boy is the mascot of   more...said convention - and this was produced to be shown as part of one of the events. Duct Tape Boy is a "Discount Superhero," and this is told by two of his Sidekicks - played by Topher Marohl (Greenboy) and Steve Gernaey (Cardboard Commando).  less

From May 2006 - Neil and I add our own style to a J-pop song by hitomi.

The song has actually quite a few references to various Japanese Pop Videos - if you can spot them all, you get a cookie. Well,   more...an imaginary cookie... (http://www.trhonline.com/)  less

First there was the Squashing of America in 2003...

...And it was terrible, and removed from the internet with much shame. But then in 2004 there was the Second Squashing of America - and it was glorious.   more... Seriously. And then we lost the file for a couple of years, shot the third one, and then later rediscovered the second! So jump back into the archives, and see a younger, shorter haired (and mostly beardless) Trae in this bizarre ensemble event... where we give produce to drunks in a college town.

This one was totally shot and edited by my friend Topher. (http://www.trhonline.com/ )  less
