Hey — Matt here. Unfortunately I’m not feeling so hot health-wise this week, which is why I’ve been slow to update. I’m hoping I’ll still be good to go for PortCon.

So anyway, Anime Boston was as epic and amazing as always. Some of the highlights for me personally this year were hanging out with friends at ballroom dance and rave dance, participating in the Goldeneye N64 tournament, meeting fans and signing autographs. But the most exciting part of the con was seeing my friend Joe propose to his girlfriend Sarah during the masquerade, in front of 5,000 people:

Joe, Sarah, and some more friends recorded the audio for this skit at my studio earlier this year. What Sarah didn’t know is that Joe secretly came back and changed the original ending of the skit to include the marriage proposal. The skit involves excerpts from the Japanese Bleach musical, and Joe ultimately breaks the fourth wall (as indicated by taking off his wig.)

Joe and Sarah, if you’re reading this I’m very happy for both of you, and I want to say another huge congratulations. I was biting my nails when I knew it was about to happen! I’m glad I was able to be a part of it by helping record the audio for the piece. I wish you the best from here to come!

Has anyone else besides me seen a marriage proposal take place at an anime convention? Respond in comments below.
