Wow so many to list, Theatre, Film, Karaoke at Jumps, Stage Combat, and much more much
Music
Like most types of music, really love big band and modern swing, since I work in musical theatre the music from most shows also.
Movies
I'm such a movie fantaic.. that it would be hard to list just one or two, but among my favorites are Beeteljuice, Drop Dead Fred, The Blues Brothers The Big Chill, almost any Horror Movie, but I pretty much like most all movies good or bad.
Television
Don't watch much television when I do it's usually a movie (on DVD.. my collection is close to 3,000. at the moment, and still growing. If I do watch it's usually history channel (any of the three) Discovery/Times, Cartoon Network (since I work in the anime industry) or whatever happens to be on.
Books
Dan Millman, Dale Brown, Rober Batterson, Robert R. McCammon, Stephen King, Clive Barker, Harry Potter, Robert Asprin, Piers Anthony, just to name a few
Heroes
alright I know it sounds corny, but first and foremost I'd have to say my parents, they took 5 kids out of abusive situations (physically, emotionally, sexually and sometimes all three) and took them in to live with us. Took in Both of my Grandmothers and my Great Grandmother, Raised my Brother and I, and my father worked in a youth center in the 60's (not a popular thing in VA at the time since most of the youth were minority, but it raised both my brother and I colorblind) So they're probably my biggest heros. Next would be my brother, who's one of the greatest and coolest people on the planet, along with being one of my best friends.
As far as popular choices
Hunter S. Thompson, Del Close, Lenny Bruce, Geroge Carlin, Richard Pryor, Lloyd S. Kaufman, George Romero and the list goes on and on

Anime Secrets is hosting the second annual Halloween Cosplay Contest! Also returning to help us pull off this event is Funimation, who were our sponsors last year, and provided boxsets to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. The contest is fairly simple. Email you in your cosplay no later then November 15th, 2009, and wait for results. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain!
I know you aren't going to be out at Onicon this year, but hey I wanted to send you something that might be fun for you. I will be emailing you a picture of Tracy (I know you can't immediately put a face to the name, but bear with me. This is an Image you took.) dressed as a Goddess Kagura. I feel ashamed I have not even started my Suitengu (I plan on building draw string wings for the get up under the coat.) costume. Haven't a clue how they would be built yet, but I'm working on it.
Hey Chris, I met you briefly at AB 2009 i was dressed as goku with a beck box. No worries if that doesn't ring a bell, you meet A LOT of people. Anyway I just wanted to give you shout out for directing shows when you were working with your friends. I'm a college student majoring in video audio production and while directing is one of my fav things, it can be rather tough giving directions to people who you also consider close friends. Just wanted to give you props for something a lot of people don't realize you do. ^_^
I went to your panels at San Japan, Anime Radio and Guest Improv. They were hilarious! I was feeling pretty bad this week and those panels totally cheered me up. They were veryyyy funny.
You have some awesome accents. The German Scientist was great. But my favorite was when you were talking like an Indian and Mexican at the Improv. XD That was soooo GREAT!
You have amazing voice talents. That sounded very believable. I hope you do something like that again at the next con I'm at!! I'll totally attend.
we wanted to see the house before signing any contracts and the realtor insisted that the ppl are busy moving at the moment and had us pay everything up in front. She also promised that we're going to love the house, and we took her word for it. when we got to go see, the rooms were all the same size (you couldn't tell which one is the masterbedroom). the house is 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms... we checked out the house bathroom, and it was tiny!!! i mean, i can bearly walk in there... And for the master bedroom, the bathroom in there is the size of a tiny closet!!! there was no bathtub, and there's only a toilet and sink, THAT'S IT!!! There was no place to put my moms makeup, and there's no room for her to change inside her masterroom bathroom (seriously, it was that small. take one step in, and you cant take another full step). There were cracks in the walls everywhere throughout the house, and there were no phonelines where i can hook up my internet modem anywhere in the rooms! and the ceiling was getting "moldy"!
so yeah, we told the realtor, we want our money back, tear up the contract, and forget about it. Because the rent there was gonna be $900 a month for a tiny crappy lil house! My moms friend lives in a giant beautiful house for that much a month!!!
so yeah, we decided to not move there. and if the realtor is gonna give us a hard time with our money, then she's gonna hear from our family laywer, who is a good friend of the family...
