When? And how can I listen?

Probably this coming Tuesday and it will be on the afternoon show with Flynny and Stu on ZM, if this changes I will post what I know here

Hey, did anyone see that thing on nightline about anime expo? They called the cosplayers "crazy americans" and said it was a "bizarre phenomenon".

Yup that's right, and here it is:
video version: LA's Anime Expo takes place in the shadow of Michael Jackson
article version: La's anime expo takes place in the shadow of Michael Jackson

My mum was watching nightline and she called me down saying "Look! it's people like you!" T.T

And check out 1:23- a guy carrying an umbrella?

Standing in front of Megan. 8D

By IcyRose. 14/07/09, 11:58 am

How did they get Aguyen? I mean I clearly said N when I spelt it. That day just seemed to have a theme with spelling names wrong (I had put my name down as Lau when I ordered pasta at Dominos and they wrote it sound as Lvau despite the fact I never mentioned the letter V anywhere)

By Rolly. 14/07/09, 01:23 pm

You know, I've never known how to pronounce the surname 'Nguyen". sad

By **seraphik**. 14/07/09, 01:25 pm

in my defense it wasn't intentional, and she took the photos from heaps of angles so it was bound to happen somewhere

It's pronounced "Nyu-win" spoken kinda quickly.
