I wanted to take this moment and say that my thoughts and prayers are
to all those who have been affected by the recent Earthquake in Chile
I've already heard from some listeners living there and I am glad
that they and their families are safe. Un abrazo de solidaridad
a mis amigos Chilenos!

Running a little behind so let's see what we've got this time!
THE SHOUTOUTS -
So many chiming in from AROUND THE WORLD! Thank you so much!
Vivian - HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND MANY MORE!!!
UEG Productions - Such class! Project Artemis is moving forward!
Broody - Hey! Thanks for stopping by?
Einherjar - You are one passionate fan!
Gubaba - The "strange" things we see in Robotech. I'm right there with you!
Cheetosdust - Great to hear from you again....is it Mr. or Miss?
Jonathan Swritzer aka Captain JLS - Thank you for chiming in. I consider it an honor that you visited here!
THE ROBOTECH FILES - Something that I left out in Episode 1 (a million years ago!) and I said I would give it it's own spot. The ROBOTECH ART BOOKS! I've had Art 1 since '85. It's seen better days, but still part of the collection!
These are hard to come by as they were published back in the mid eighties. If your try Ebay or Amazon.com, it might cost you a pretty penny, but every now and then you will see people sell all three at a pretty decent price! (That's how I got my new set!) The books themselves have their charm and are a welcome edition to any fan's collection.
THE PROTOCULTURE TIMES INTERVIEW - It was my pleasure to email interview one of my chat buddies, Amanda Wells aka INCISIVIS/INC. I have always said that if there was ever a Robotech magazine, she would be the head writer/editor of it. Thank you so much for the time you offered to my questions. She has a lot to say about the Sentinels, Fan Fiction and of course.....the Zentraedi!
OFF THE SCIFI SHELF - A really nice movie I enjoyed immensely, FANBOYS. The story of a group of Star Wars fans in 1998 wanting to get a sneek peek of the new Star Wars movie, The Phantom Menace. I wonder if any fans would go that far for Shadow Rising?....OH WAIT! NOTHING'S BEEN WORKED ON!! LMAO!

ROBOTECH WEB GEMS - Finding more things when I google ROBOTECH!
Thanks to BRIAN3D for the following CG works from people out there:
AWESOME STUFF!
And a really nice site showcasing the different vessels (non-mecha) from Robotech
NOTE: If you use Internet Explorer you can actually move the ships and compare their sizes, Won't work with other browsers, sorry!
IN THE ROBOTECH SPOTLIGHT - THE GRANDDADDY OF SPOTLIGHTS! Time to dust myself off and get into ANNIVERSARY MODE BABY! (March 4th for those that don't know!)
I am ready for March, Anniversary month! Got a few things planned. I'll be chiming in here and there with minicasts, polls and regular episodes of course. Plus, something I am working on and hopefully put up in the coming week where everyone can participate and with one objective, TO HAVE FUN WITH IT!
And for one more time, THE RANDOMCAST!

And I say ONE MORE because it is the finale of them. I think I've made my feelings MORE than crystal clear on certain "subjects". And being on the doorstep of Anniversary Time, why am I going to waste megabytes of storage when i can be busy CELEBRATING!.....So i get it out of my system one more time! Even thought the RandomCasts end, NOW WAY am i going to stop writing my Random Thoughts blog posts (gotta still have some fun at the expense of others, LOL!)

We also go over the results of the latest PROTOCULTURE TIMES POLL QUESTIONS. I was surprised by a couple of the "blowouts" that occurred. Thanks to everyone that took the time to vote!
I'm 80% that the RandomCasts won't come back...but I keep 20% out there.....just in case....I mean this is Harmony Gold and their "mark" moderators we are talking about! HEE HEE!
