Friday ACE: The Podcast Edition Ep. 2

Mike here!
Apparently, we got a lot of hits with the first episode so thanks for
the support thus far! As I write this, it looks like I’m falling prey
to the vengeance of Jack Frost myself but not enough to stall the
recording session for the show! *explosionexplosionLIGHTNINGexplosion*

Again,
my best wishes to anyone going to Katsucon
this weekend as this winter wrath still lingers in the air. Shameless
Plug: Make sure if you do go that you hit up Super Art Fight on Saturday afternoon at 2 PM. Tell them
you were summoned there by Friday ACE. You might get a brofist out of
it. Maybe. No promises.

In fact, this week’s “Last Word” comes
from a rather legendary Katsucon masquerade sketch which you can watch
here thanks to the great
folks over at AC Paradise. Figured it’d be
a fitting shoutout!

If you want to shoot us tips, feedback,
questions, or if you’re responding to my call out for any Japanese
indie bands to spotlight, email me at fridayace.ousa@gmail.com!

Until the next,
-Mike Dent
