John's homecoming E.B/Camp V5 Reunion.

Back in 1999 a group of young adults (maybe not all) started a movement to bring back a childhood classic on Television which is Voltes V. These people had a series of EB's (Eye Balls) because none of them know each other except through the internet. The group is called Camp V5, a Voltes V and other Robot Anime fan group. It has been years since we last saw each other until last night. One of our members, John Paras is here on vation from the states so we took the opportunity to have a little reunion.



It was great seeing old and not so old faces. I'm a little sad that not everyone made it to our get together. Some were stuck at work, some were out of town or the country and some we lost contact.

A few of us looks different now compared to when we first met, especially me and Francis. Francis has lost a lot of weight even though he didn't have much before., His hair looks different now as well as his eyes. He looks Chinese now.

I on the other hand lost a lot of weight and got rid of my thick Clark Kent type glasses in exchange for contacts. We had dinner at Shakey's El Pueblo and had a few trivia games courstesy of John. Correct answers to his trivia questions got prizes which includes, Voltes V and Mazinger Z shirts, Robot anime music CD's, posters, and a whole bunch of M &M milk chocolates.

I got to bring home a mazinger Z T-shirt, a CD and 4 packs of M & M's. John will be heading back to the states in a week or two so we won't see him again until next February. I am hoping though that the gang so is still here in the country can meet up regularly and do what we always love to do. Get together for dinner and talk and talk and talk, go to i.O. KTV for Backstreet Boys and Jackie Chung songs. Ahhh... those were the days and I miss them. Let's get together again my fellow Voltes V fanatics!
