Emily and I are wife and husband, respectively, and are the co-owners  
of the shop. Sometimes you will see her with me at cons, sometimes  
not if she can't get time off from her paying job. She's the one with  
the law degree, so such words are part of her normal vocabulary. We  
also have separate opinions on subjects, so don't think what's good  
for the goose is good for the gander. Oh and be forewarned, she likes  
a 'spirited debate'. ;P

I just realized that maybe I should introduce myself:

My name is Roger Morse
I've been an anime fan since I was introduced to it in 1990
I've been a comic book and sci-fi fan for far longer
Lived in Denver since 1989, except for around 2 years in Austin, TX
Attended Project A-Kon 2-10
Won awards for cosplay 3 times, once at A-Kon, AnimeFest and Nan Desu  
Kan (small cons at the time. I'm not that good).
One of the 3 people who founded NDK, but only helped the first year.  
(Name and original logo were my design).
Longtime staff for Denver Anime International (formerly C/FO-Denver).  
Currently president.
Ran Starfest/Starcon Anime Room for about 5 years
One of the Writer/voices for Vaguely Specific's Mystery Anime Theater  
productions.
Married to Emily Morse-Lee, March 2001
Started Gimme Anime, April 2002

Poked my head in on the ACML because I saw other vendors on the list,  
convention news is of greater interest to me of late and it's nice to  
be chatting with the adults. I'll try to keep up.

Laters,
Roger Morse
