Siblings Jake, Matt and Mari Abdo make up
the Minneapolis based pop-rock band Lynhurst.

I had a chance to hang out with the band and their family while I was in Minneapolis and found them to be some of the nicest people you could hope to meet.

Conversations With The Kids

2009-04-22T15:52:00.001-07:00

My nephew Adin - 12.16.08:
Adin: Uncle J, why can’t you live here?

Me: well, bud, I have a job here...
(then I elaborate on the logistics, job, etc.)

Adin: You can just live here
and then mail packages and letters and stuff to your work

My niece Priya to her mother - 4.22.09:
"Mom, my life would be pretty perfect if only Uncle J was here
and you let me have a puppy."

My niece Priya when I told her I might not make it back to Cincinnati for my nephew's birthday party - 6.4.09:
Priya: Uncle J, you have to make it home for Adin’s birthday party if you don’t it will be a huge failure.

Me: (laughing) Really? How’s that? What do you mean?

Priya: If you can’t make it, it will just be a normal birthday party. if you come, it will be a birthday EXTRAVAGANZA!

Me: (tear)

I spent the weekend with my brother Chad and his daughter Leyla when they visited Southern California this summer.
After Chad and Leyla were back home in Cincinnati, Chad tried to recap high points of the trip with his daughter to get her favorite bits. This is a rough transcript of that conversation:

Chad: What was your favorite part of the trip, going to the beach or the children's museum?

Leyla: Going to the children's museum

Chad: Going to the children's museum or the San Diego Zoo?

Leyla: Going to the children's museum.

Chad: Going to the children's museum or seeing Uncle J?

Leyla: Seeing Uncle J

Chad: Seeing Uncle J or seeing Pastor Conrad and Miss Marydell?

Leyla: Seeing Uncle J

Chad: Going to In 'N' Out Burger or seeing Uncle J?

Leyla: Going to In 'N' Out Burger with Uncle J

Chad: Going to Las Vegas and California with me or seeing Uncle J?

Leyla: Going to Las Vegas and California with you to see Uncle J

My niece Priya called me at work right after I got out of our Latin GRAMMY Production Meeting - 10.28.09:

Priya: Uncle J, What are you doing?

Me: Well, I’m in between meetings right now.

Priya: (confused) What’s that mean?

Me: It means I just got out of one meeting and in about 10 minutes I’m going into another.

Priya: That SUCKS!

Anime in America's Best (and Most Notable) of 2009: DUB PERFORMANCE AWARDS

Best Male Performance: Bryan Massey as Ladd Russo, Baccano!

Picking a stand-out male performance was tough, but relative newcomer Bryan Massey seriously impressed with his rendition of the energetically deranged psychopath Ladd, just beating out Todd Haberkorn's wonderful interpretation of Keroro in Sgt. Frog, Robert McCollum's smarmy Kazuma in Kaze no Stigma, and J. Michael Tatum in a number of different quality performances, including especially William in Romeo X Juliet.
