The Spiraken Manga Review HOSTS

2 Years ago today, Xan and May-san Started the Spiraken Manga Review on a Whim, can you believe that it has lasted this long.
Congratulations and here's to two more years of podcasts and insanity

April Fool's!

GOTCHA!
For those of you who did not listen past 7 minutes into ep 96, The Title of Ep 96 and the first 8 minutes was an april fool's joke. GOTCHA. So no worries, The Spiraken Manga Review is still here and will be for many many years to come.

Xan's an Uncle
At 2:13 am, Xan's Nephew NIcholas Michael was born 8.9 lbs.
Congrats to Xan's Brother and sis in law for their cute and healthy baby

While Xan could describe the whole con and what transpired there in detail right now, it is better to wait to hear what happened in the podcast Check out some pictures to show what Xan  and Timbo saw and give yourself a taste of what happened.

I'm back from my 4 day vacation in Las Vegas. Did I win alot of money....No.  But I had a great time. Here is a quick synopisis of Xan's adventure... with some visual aids
Here is where I stayed. Pretty nice with 2 pools. Isn't that special?
So i started out by checking out the Luxor. Awesome Transformers 2 Ad. However, there was no transformers stuff inside. That's False Advertising!!!

Checked out Paris. I did not know that there was a balloon outside
New York New York.. They got the crowded part right and the angry people
I don't know what they are building but it is artistic, shiny  and crooked. Xan approves of this
M. a resort/spa that is waay out in the desert
Excaliber was very King Arthury but not as cool as Xan giving the V sign ouside it
MGM was pretty Cool. Especially the Architecture inside
The Venitian was beautiful but i was unable to go inside due to time constraints. Maybe next time....
So once I was done looking at casinos I went inside and here's what I did
I gambled a little bit and my entire winnings is right here -_-'
I also took in a couple of sights
Chilled out with some stone frogs waiting for people
This place was awesome, They has Sushi and JPop. Brilliant
Sapporo Beer was very good and cheap. I had 6 of these ^_^
Here is the aftermath of all those drinks
For desert/detox Xan went to Serendipity3 for ice cream. Did you know that there is a $1000 Sunday?
The gardens at the Bellagio were trippy. Especially with the Water Orb thing
WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHhhyyyyyyyyyyyy is it raining on me !!!!!
There are more pictures but those are for me and my family. Sorry Guys. Wish you were these. See You later
