6. What do you like best about the DAS? Getting together with other people who have similar interests and introducing them to things I like and finding new anime/manga through them.

7.What do you think the future holds for the DAS? That it will continue to grow and prosper. With all the recent publicity, I think that DAS will definitely be the club to join in Delaware. I'd like to see us do a con of our own here in Delaware.

8.Do you cosplay? If so, what are your favorite costume(s) Not much of a cosplayer, I will do it for special ocassions such as the Halloween mini-con and the Schwartz Center presentation. Out of the two that I've done, I'd say Cho Hakkai from Saiyuki.
(DAS C.E.O Note: Mish's fabulous Hakkai costume that she did for the DAS Halloween Minicon 2004 can be seen here

9.Conventions attended and/or staffed? I will be attending and acting as staff for Zentrancon.

10. Have you ever named a pet/computer/insert word here after an anime or Asian character? If so, which and why? Yes, I've named fish after characters from both Fruits Basket (Kyo and Hatsuharu) and Saiyuki (Gojyo). I still have Gojyo (a Beta). I also currently have a Calico Oranda named Sojiro after one of the F4 boys from Boys Over Flowers.

11. What theme or institution in anime should be decreased or increased and why?
Decrease: Pre-teens wearing thigh-high stockings in space. Said pre-teens also flying/possessing/commanding multi-billionaire dollar mecha/spaceships/etc. And can somebody just please kill the Gundam universe?
Increase: More series with adult characters as opposed to pre-teens/teens. Something along the lines of Master Keaton or even Licensed by Royalty -- intelligent adult anime.
