Reason 1: MC Frontalot and mc chris. Both of them rocked the mic. Both signed stuff for me. Both were happy to see me. Both now each have a copy of Revision they can listen to/frisbee/burninate/whatever. Other people who recieved promotional copies include G4TV (yeah, I know they are lame, and I’ve got more on that later on in this post, but promotion is promotion.) But seriously their sets were awesome. Actually, every act there did an outstanding job.

Reason 2: A lot of people bought my CD at the con. Including a man writing a book on Causasian rappers (he interviewed me for the book btw,) and Frontalot’s homeboy and back up vocalist Yook. Oh, and a couple of ToonZoners, and some Valued Suckers, and some other friends, and some random people who I can’t even properly place.

Reason 3: Media Attention. G4’s Attack of the Show interviewed me and did a bit with me. Highly scripted and cheesy, but it was an opportunity to plug the CD. I also did a couple interviews with 1up.

Reason 4: Meeting people, both brand new and relatively new. I met the first female nerdcore rapper, a delightful young lady with the handle of Nurse Hella, aka Danielle. Not only is she awesome for her nerdcore verbal expression, but also for being a hardcore gamer, a hardcore anime/manga fan and a hardcore Dexter’s Lab fan who was so hardcore Genndy freakin’ Tartokovsky wrote her a letter and called her on the phone. I met Glenn Case who I knew both threw the Sockheads Sifl and Olly Fanclub and threw MC Frontalot’s Valued Sucker forums. Not only was he cool enough to buy my CD, he called Matt Crocco, co-creator of Sifl and Olly, and then let me leave a message on Matt’s voicemail. That’s just the tip of the cresent fresh people I met.

Reason 5: Tycho from Penny Arcade says he wants to be on my next CD. I will make this happen. Besides, he’s a pretty good vocalist, as per his score on Karaoke Revolution.

First though, I’ve gotta eat, then sleep.

I’m burnt out… and so happy I could cry. Thank you everyone who made this possible.

Tune in next time when karma balances itself with my computer exploding or something equivalent.
