Helping Get Donations for the Japan Disater

The other weekend I was at a local entertainment expo and pop culture convention in Chicago called C2E2. The show took up a full weekend and everything from tv shows like True Blood and The Walking Dead to comics and movies like the upcoming Thor and Green Lantern to having the toy company Mattel there showcasing their various toy lines.    Japanese animation was also present with a US theatrical debut of the movie for Evangelion 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance. Various companies and sellers were accepting donations for Japan. The Japan Society had a huge presentaion as well as candy manufacturer Morinaga.

Morinaga had a booth plus they used mascots to drum up donations as well as people in Hi Chew costumes to direct people back to their set up.

I went and snagged a pic with their mascot ( I love Japanese mascots) called the Hi-Chew King which looks like a crazy sentai- Pride fighting wrestler.   He was pretty cool though.

I then wore the Hi-Chew package costume and told people to please come back to their booth and donate to help Japan.   I think by Sunday night they had raised almost $7,000 US dollars for support!!!

Mango flavour!!!   My favourite!!!!!

All in all I had a blast at the show.   It ran from all weekend but I only went on Friday and Sunday.   I have a ton of pics from the show. While I was there, I also wound up doing a short interview for the Chinese Xinhua News Agency at the Marvel Comics booth.   I can post the text version later.

ahhhh...I used to be addicted to Hi-Chew when I was living in Japan... i was all about the green apple.

(they have it in HK too, but its made in China, not imported from Japan so its not exactly the same... I became a purist. :-P

Hi Everyone! I'm Dan. I was born and raised in Chicago IL in the USA. In 2002, I went over to Kyoto Japan and lived as an exchange student during the summer. In 2005, I moved to the Tin Shui Wai area of Hong Kong. I was opening up a cafe and starting a clothing company there. I also worked as an english teacher and also tutored people in Japanese.

I came back to the USA to write and publish a book. It is called Homeless in Hong Kong and is a true life story about events that happened between me and my best friend and also my ex-fiancee from the UK. I don't have a release date for it yet. I also work in movies and TV. I started out as an extra playing four roles in this summer's The Dark Knight. I played a cop named Sgt. Andy Spellman, a bomb squad member, and a hospital patient named Alex Lee. Sad to say most of my scenes did not make into the film, but few did.

I also spent 5 weeks of my summer filming a movie with Johnny Depp and Christian Bale and it is directed by Michael Mann. It comes out 07/2009. I had many different roles in it. My other movie work includes Eagle Eye, the Informant, and next summer's Public Enemies. My TV work includes CSI:NY, Leverage, and the Beast. My commercial/ ad work includes various spots for WWE wrestling.

I hope to move back to HK and work on film there or also in Japan because I am such a big fan of both of their TV & movies. I also am hoping to adapt my book into film medium after its publication.
