Getting to know us! *Please Read*

[mrpliggins]

1.  What is your name, and which nick name would you perfer?   Also do you have nicknames from other boards that you'll like to lists so friends will know it's you?

Just call me Mr. Pliggins. I used to be on the list in the 90s. I also used to go into the irc chatroom #tmnt. Old people like me might remember me. I went by foot ball somethingorother.


2.  Where are you located?

In the USA, always moving so its pointless to say where.


3.  How old are you, and how long ago did you hear of TMNT?

I'm 27 and I heard of TMNT in 1988 when I saw the action figures at the store Big Wheel.


4.  What first introduced you to TMNT, please tell us a little bit about it.

the action figures. I initially thought the turtles were the bad guys, based on the packaging. Soon after I discovered the cartoon show and the mirage comics.


5.  Who is your favorite Turtle, and why?

I have no idea who is favorite.  I like them all.


6.  Which of the TMNT movies is your favorite, and do you have any stories to share about why, when and where you first saw it?

The first one is definitely the favorite.  All I remember about the first time seeing it is that the line was out the door and down the street! We left and came back later when it calmed down.


7.  Have you been to any TMNT events like Tours, conventions, Store apperances, Bday party type Turtles... ect....   if so, what events?   And please feel free to make a post about it in the 'TMNT fandom' under 'other'.

Not really. I did meet most of the Mirage artists at Comicfest '93 in Philadelphia. This was right when Volume 2 was starting up.  The guys that were there were Laird, Dooney, Farley, Lawson, Sakai, Clarrain, Talbot, and Berger.  The next year I saw Talbot and Bode at Philadelphia.  I've bumped into Ryan Brown at a few conventions, flea markets, and malls, but never when he was a guest.


8.  What other things besides TMNT do you like?

I love to work on my computer and create animation.  I love drawing comics and other drawings.  I like to watch Batman, JLU, Family Guy, the tick, South Park, etc.  I don't watch tv much besides a few shows.  I spend most of my time on my computer or with my girlfriend somewhere.    


9.  Do you collect stuff of the TMNT, if so which items.. toys, comics, dvds, ect, or all?

I used to collect everything back in the old days.  Nowadays, I don't collect anything tmnt besides a few things. I collect the comics still, of course.  I don't collect the DVDs because there are just too many and they're all out of order, confusing, etc.  I do have the first movie on dvd, though.  Other things I collect tmnt are original comic book art and pre-surge stuff.  I collected the original action figures for awhile but I've since lost interest since I found all the ones I was looking for. Also, if I can find it one day, I will collect vol. 1 #1.


10.  Do you have a TMNT web site and would you like to share the URL?  Also if you got a web site and it's not TMNT, please share the URL as well.

Unfortunately I'm an idiot when it comes to making websites, so I have none.  I plan on putting up a site showcasing my portfolio and resume but that's all I have planned for the near future.


11.  Who is someone that's done something TMNT, that you have not met and would really like to meet?

Eastman, Mark Martin, Steve Lavigne.  I've never met these guys, and every convention I go to where Eastman is a scheduled guest, he ends up cancelling.


12.  How did you hear of TMNT-L?

From Ms. Ivey (Michaelangelo here, I believe) way back in the 90s.  It was funny, I met her at a convention while talking to Ryan Brown.  Then later I talked to her online and we found out we had already met.

[Shin_Yuy]

Hello everyone!...Lets see

1. My name is Shinigami Yuy, Shin works well as a nick name since sometimes the whole thing is a pain to type. I also go by Shing, no idea how... I blame Ivey.

2. I am located in Burlington Vermont in the US, place of origin for Ben & Jerrys, Phish and Magic Hat beer.

3. Im 21, soon to be 22 on the 6th of November. I think I was 5 when I first learned of TMNT

4. I can thank good ol babysitter TV for TMNT. My folks worked all afternoon so I got control of the TV and I watched TMNT every chance I got.

5. Its so hard to say which one I like the best out of all of them, so I'll go with the one I liked first off the bat when I started watching the show.. Donatello. I liked Don because he was smart, he made cool gadgets and he could drive. He also was kinda goofy and I like purple. As I got older I started to shift to Raph because he was so goofy and such a smartass, in the comics he was a badass and angsty and I liked that... and lo and belold I grew up to be most like Leo...You may ask What about Mikie? My inner child loves him to tiney bits because its his fault for my diet of pizza since 5th grade till...well now...

6. I love the first movie out of them all the most. It was closer to the comics, which I liked (but couldn't aford mom thought it was nutz to get so many) and had more of an edge to it. I saw it in theaters by my self for the first time and I watch it usualy when I need a pickme up. I also liked the Third movie because it was the first one I snuck into  and mysteriously it wasnt playing the next day at the theater i went to even though it was listed to...

7. When i was younger I saw one of the tours in my mall. all my friends and I were shouting at mikie not to trust shredder just because he had pizza... i was like 6. Besides that umm.. does having Ivey over for like a week count?

8. I love anime to tiney bits, though with college i havent had a lot of time for it    I love to write though TMNT isn't a fandom i have tired writing in yet.. should though.. anyway I am a gamer, I do RPGs online and off all the time, its getting to the point i loose track of the games and characters. I love swiming, pizza, rootbeer and cheese dogs, I love road trips when i can afford them. I love science fiction stories and camping. I like all kinds of music but most often tend to fall back on things like Bjork, NIN, Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers and Traditional Japanese music.. weird hua?

9. I used to collect before we moved and a lot of stuff didn't make it beyond the yard sale. I had all the figures, the sewer play set, some of the comics and a poster... think i have a comic hidden somewhere.

10. I have a web site, im a web major, but at the moment its filled with boring homework crap so I wont bore you. When school is over for the semister I plan on putting up my anime stuff, my writing and info on various characters and RPGs ive done, i'll edit this when i do...

11. I would absolutly love to meet the original creators and see some of thier work. Im all about origins and where stuff came from, its just cool. I have so many ideas for things and comics and stories and I would like to ask them how they got an idea in their heads to become reality.

12. Its Ivey's fault I swear!

well thats just about all of it... your welcome to prod me for more informaton i'll usualy give it up

[klork]

Hn, maybe I should actually *do* this for a change:

1. What is your name, and which nick name would you perfer? Also do you have nicknames from other boards that you'll like to lists so friends will know it's you?

Rica!  But I tend to go by Klork or RicaChica online.  A LONG time ago I went by Klunk, Renet, and Erica-Tello.

2. Where are you located?

Washington State.  All over the West part of it.

3. How old are you, and how long ago did you hear of TMNT?

Uh .... well, if I'm 23 now ... yegads, *almost* 20 years ago.  My cousin used to read me the comics when I was four or five.

4. What first introduced you to TMNT, please tell us a little bit about it.

See above answer.  My mom probably wouldn't have approved, and I probably didn't really understand them then, but when the cartoon came out I recognized it, went uber-fan, and ended up being April on the playground.  Of course ... mom still likes to tell me about the day I got to be Donatello (I think we had 15 Leonardos, 3 Raphaels, and 29 Michaelangelos, ONE Donatello.  He missed school and I *so* took his place.)

5. Who is your favorite Turtle, and why?

Donatello! ...there needs to be a reason for loving the best?  

6. Which of the TMNT movies is your favorite, and do you have any stories to share about why, when and where you first saw it?

Ahh, first one.  I just recall, vaguely, my mother trying to teach me what pick-pocketing was.  She got the perfect example at the very beginning of the film to show me.  After that we ate ice cream, bubble gum mind you, at Fred Meyer. When they *had* a restaurant in it. YEARS ago.

7. Have you been to any TMNT events like Tours, conventions, Store apperances, Bday party type Turtles... ect.... if so, what events? And please feel free to make a post about it in the 'TMNT fandom' under 'other'.

Ahhhh.......................  *thinks*  San D Con visiting with Kevin Eastman count?

8. What other things besides TMNT do you like?

regular turtles, Smallville, Miniature Daschunds, art, doodling, Weird Al, Harry Potter, Spiderman, Beagles, The Beatles, any music but rap, and ...surprisingly? My job.

9. Do you collect stuff of the TMNT, if so which items.. toys, comics, dvds, ect, or all?

Well, I used to collect anything I could get my hands on.  Now it seems all of my friends do that for me and I get it for Christmas o_O

10. Do you have a TMNT web site and would you like to share the URL? Also if you got a web site and it's not TMNT, please share the URL as well.

Ehh, it's basically just *my* website, www.geocities.com/kcurric , but it does have a few TMNT images in it in "Asylum Art".

11. Who is someone that's done something TMNT, that you have not met and would really like to meet?

Hn .... not really sure on that one to be honest.

12. How did you hear of TMNT-L?


When it was a mailing list.  In 1997.  Dear god it was 8 years ago. o_O

[WolfofMibu]

1. Lea also known as Blue and Tomoyo

2. Western NY State near Buffalo

3. I am 25... got into Turtles around when I was 7

4. I honestly don't remember what first introduced to me to Turtles... I feel like they have always been in my life, its hard for me to remember a time that doesn't include them.

5. Leonardo: I guess I may as well bite the bullet and sound somewhat weird here but I guess the reason I like Leo so much is his personality completed and shaped mine own. My parents both left me when was I 8 and in lue of having no other family Leonardo became my role model and guide... and as the years went by and I drifted in and out of different fandoms, he stayed the one figure in my life who was striking and consistent and that I never strayed from. I can't really put into concrete words why I like Leonardo so much, I could say its because I am like him, but thats because I was "raised" by him. He is just family to me and one of the few consistent parts of my life.

6. The 2nd movie is my favorite, as for a story I can remember going and seeing it wth friends when it was first released and a bunch of older high school girls sitting in front of me. They all SWOONED when Vanilla Ice came on and then complained that he wasn;t in more of the movie. I just remember sitting there and thinking how stupid they were becaue who would want to see Vanilla Ice when they could be watching the Turtles instead?

7. I have been to the last two Animenext's, CNAnime's... I was at AnimeNorth last year and was lucky enough to meet Stan Sakai- Seen Mike Sinterniklaas at numerous conventions... I am a anime nerd and tend to go to 6 to 10 cons a year.

8. Anime- Mostly Ninja or Samurai titles.... Favorites include NARUTO, Samurai 7, Rurouni Kenshin, Peacemaker, Otogi Zoshi, Inu Yasha, Witch Hunter Robin, 12 Kingdoms, Kodocha and Bleach.

9. I collect nearly anything that has Leonardo on it

10. I have a DA account: http://ookamiblue.deviantart.com/ -  A Livejournal: http://www.livejournal.com/users/ookami_blue/ and a cosplay.com account: http://images.cosplay.com/gallery.php?member=30847&cat=500

11. I have yet to meet Kevin Eastman... I have actually been lucky enough to meet a lot of people invloved with the Turtles.

12. From Ivey at Animevegas!

[Kazari]

1. Mel but I like to be called Kaz. It's short for Kazari! I am use to it! that's all people call me anymore at conventions! Heck if people didn't call me by my first name at home, I would be known as Kaz!

2. Virginia

3. 23, I liked them since 1989.

4. I grew up with the old show and then got some of the comics around 1992. I liked TMNT till about 1994 when Red Sky came out ( I hated when they mutate). I liked SWAT Kats till about 2002, then TMNT again by downloading some of the episodes again and loving Red Sky. Then the new show came out.

5. Donatello. I actually grew up liking Michelangelo. I didn't like Don that much till after my SK phase. Actually when I was younger I always thought Don and Leo were so annoying. Been a Don fan since the new show and Red Sky.

6. The first movie is my favorite. I don't know. I just love the trailer to it. I don't remember that much seeing it in theater but I remember I was so excited.

7. Well I go to Anime Conventions to where I meet TMNT voice actors thats' about it. I wish I went to the Tour.

8. I love writing stories, Star Wars, Matrix, SWAT Kats, Paranoia Agent, Comic Party.

9. I am pretty random. I like anime plushies. I collect stuff from my favorite animes and I have a Bossk figurine from Star Wars.

10. I have one but I don't have the URL on me

11. I would like to meet Saki's Voice actor. Scottie Ray. I like Shredder..well I did. i am pretty happy. I also want to meet John Campbell. I have met Sam and Ed so I'm peachy.

12. Through Ivey at Anime Vegas.

[Mint]

This thread makes for an interesting read, heh. Yo to my fello Freaks.

1. What is your name, and which nick name would you perfer? Also do you have nicknames from other boards that you'll like to lists so friends will know it's you?

Online, my name has always been Raphaella, but changed on here to avoid confusion between the Mod. M' friends call me Ella for a nick, or Raph, but again that would be confusing, lol. Or Mint, whichever's cool.

2. Where are you located?

3. How old are you, and how long ago did you hear of TMNT?

18, I remember watching TMNT cartoons when I was four or five, so about 13/14 years ago

4. What first introduced you to TMNT, please tell us a little bit about it.

I think it was a friend of mine. At his 5th or whatever birthday he played an episode of TMNT with dinosaurs in it. Heh, I can remember really clearly my mum picking me up when the party ended, but I was glued to the TV, so it had to be turned off. Evil parents.

Raphers, though lately Leo has really been pushing close.

6. Which of the TMNT movies is your favorite, and do you have any stories to share about why, when and where you first saw it?

I couldn't pick between first and second. First had the drama and action, but second had the cuter costumes and jokes. I first saw it about four years back. Weird story - or not - I actually saw and taped the thrid movie first, when I was 11. Years laters I'm watching it again and I ring up my friend to ask if she likes TMNT (don't ask, you just do things), and hey, guess what? She had both first and second movies.

7. Have you been to any TMNT events like Tours, conventions, Store apperances, Bday party type Turtles... ect.... if so, what events? And please feel free to make a post about it in the 'TMNT fandom' under 'other'.

X Men, Star wars, X files... blah, many things I could go on forever with.

Yeah, whatever I see I grab it. Comics, DVD. Not toys though, at least not yet.

10. Do you have a TMNT web site and would you like to share the URL? Also if you got a web site and it's not TMNT, please share the URL as well.

Heh, I've tried to make so many TMNT websites and none have lasted long. So I gave up.
http://www.raphaella.deviantart.com is where most of my tmnt and other art goes, so it's the most TMNT things I have on the net.

11. Who is someone that's done something TMNT, that you have not met and would really like to meet?

12.  How did you hear of TMNT-L?

I forgot

[Ty-Chou]

Wow, it took me a while to realize this thing was here. I read through everyone's so far before posting (Wayne Grayson filled one out! 0.0) So that was fun to read a bit about those who've I've seen posting around. Anyway, here's me:

1. What is your name, and which nick name would you perfer? Also do you have nicknames from other boards that you'll like to lists so friends will know it's you?
I go by Ghost of the Dawn or just Ghost in most anime circles. But Ty-Chou is my real life nickname. So I've been using that a lot more lately.

2. Where are you located?
SLC, UT which is ironic. I hate the snow and I live in a place that boasts to have the 'greatest snow on earth' :p

3. How old are you?
I just recently turned 24--had a Ninja Turtle birthday. lol

4. What first introduced you to TMNT, please tell us a little bit about it.
I remember the first day it aired--at least in my area. Dunno if it was the first day it aired ever. But it took the timeslot of a show my sibs and I used to watch after school ever day called "Brave Star". We were upset our show was being replaced--for about a minute. Then we were hooked by the end of the Turtle's theme song.

5. Who is your favorite Turtle, and why?
Growing up, it was Donnie. No idea why, it was years ago. These days, I say I like them all for different reasons. They're like a package deal almost. Can't have one without the others.

6. Which of the TMNT movies is your favorite, and do you have any stories to share about why, when and where you first saw it?
The first. I believe I saw them all in theature. The one I remember the best is the 2nd one. My friend and I went the first night and it was standing room only. (Yeah, back in those days, no fire code I guess) We sat on the floor in the back and watched it.

7. Have you been to any TMNT events like Tours, conventions, Store apperances, Bday party type Turtles... ect.... if so, what events? And please feel free to make a post about it in the 'TMNT fandom' under 'other'.
Not really. I go to several anime conventions. I saw Mike Sinter..however it's spelled at NDK in Denver maybe....2 years ago. It was fun hearing him tell why he liked Leonardo so much. the next exposure I had was Anime Vegas where several of the voice actors were.

8. What other things besides TMNT do you like?
I've always been an animation freak. I like the old school--Transformers, Care Bears, Rainbowbrite. The mid school--Batman, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Freakazoid. And now most of the new school seems to be anime and I'm all over that, too. Yes, I admit I watch Yu-Gi-Oh, but I also like sCRYed, 12 Kingdoms, Fruits Basket, Saiyuki, Ronin Warriors, Gundam Wing, Berserk, etc.

I also like to write and draw. And those activities often coincide with what's listed above.

9. Do you collect stuff of the TMNT, if so which items.. toys, comics, dvds, ect, or all?
Meh, not really. I've started collecting the new Toon on Dvd because I think most of the disks are worth owning. I have a few Turtle odds and ends, but nothing I collect too seriously.

10. Do you have a TMNT web site and would you like to share the URL? Also if you got a web site and it's not TMNT, please share the URL as well.
No Turtle related web site at this time. However, that may change come January and I will update this page when that happens.
Other pages I have:

http://www.anycities.com/user1/ghostofdawn - my anime kitties adoption page
http://anime.101main.com/mss - My Web Comic
http://sayo.liquidwire.org/samurai/reflections.html - My Ronin Warrior fan page
http://ty-chou.deviantart.com - My DA account

11. Who is someone that's done something TMNT, that you have not met and would really like to meet?
I'd like to meet Frank Frankson--or at least see and hear him in person. Seen just about all of the main cast but him.

12. How did you hear of TMNT-L?
Heard about it by meeting some awesome fangirls at Anime Vegas

13. Have you added yourself to our TMNT Group map? Here's the link to do so... http://www.frappr.com/tmnt
Uh, no. Not yet. Maybe another day.

[scottw11354]

Hi Folks, Scott here. I forgot to fill out the profile. Well here goes. I'm located in New York City. I even worked in the Empire State Building for  a short while. My intro to the TURTLES was (I think) when I worked in a comic book store. I've seen the first film...but cannot remember a bit of it. I read a comic...I think. And I've never seen the original series..but I do remember that. My other interests(besides playing Baxter,of course) are comics,old movies and jazz. I also have many years experience on the stage. I'm also a pro cartoonist. I've done political cartoons as well. I love building model kits of comic and film characters for clients.I've also been a journalist and even interviewed Ray Harryhausen.  I've done a poster for  the Alicia Keys Fanclub and designed her logo.  I'm over 40 years of age. Can't think of anything else at the moment.-SCOTT

[Leonardo]

1.
At first, I used Ninjara, which really didn't fit my personality long term. Though it was fun to get into loads of trouble with the nick on IRC at times.
But for the past 10 years, when I've been active online, I've had the Leonardo handle on all but one of the TMNT-L lists, and always on #TMNT mirc. (I concur with GW's comment about chasing the TMNT message boards, and will never forget our List in Limbo, either.)

2.
California. Neither too north, nor too south.

3.
While not as old as the Aig dragon, our beloved Raph here, or the Tribal Elder, I am not as young as the 20s generation.
For TMNT it would be 1989.

4.
My friends took me to see the first movie, then loaned me the Mirage comics that night....


5.
Leonardo.
I am pleading the 5th on further comments. (Looks around to see where Raph and Aig are....)

6.
The first movie, because it changed my viewpoint on TMNT. My first actual viewing of TMNT was one of the 80s cartoons, the Great Cufflink Caper. It horrified me. So the movie showed me there was more depth and quality of story and character to this stuff. (To those who love the 80s cartoons, go for it! I enjoyed some of them, but you have to admit, the Great Cufflink Caper is NOT the episode you want someone to see for their first sampling of TMNT.)

7.
 
I have been to too many conventions, so I won't list them. And I was at Words and Pics before it closed.

8.
My faves are Lord of the Rings, Rurouni Kenshin, Highlander, and Farscape. I also enjoy some other Japanese animation/manga series, Star Wars, and some other fantasy stuff.  
And things like hiking, reading books, riding my horse, iado, and drawing. Haven't been able to do much role play gaming lately (like D&D.)

9.
I collect the comics. I get some of the action figures. And a little bit of the other merchandise.

10.
My website hasn't been updated for a while, and it was related to Lord of the Rings events. If I update it with TMNT stuff, I'll post it.

11.
I've been fortunate to meet a lot of the people connected with the Mirage and Image comics. I think I would like to meet those connected with the new cartoon, because of how much I have come to love the new cartoon.

12.
I can't quite remember...must have been by emailing someone from the back of a Mirage comic book? I wasn't the very first on the original TMNT-L, but I was there early on.  

13.
Not yet, one of these days...though maybe it's not wise for a ninja to announce their location?
 

[Dark_Leo]

1. What is your name, and which nick name would you perfer? Also do you have nicknames from other boards that you'll like to lists so friends will know it's you?

I'll just simply go by as Dark Leo for now.


2. Where are you located?

My profile says I'm located somewhere in the Eastern Time zone. That's about all I can release for now.


3. How old are you, and how long ago did you hear of TMNT?

I'm about 24. I've been a fan since 1988 from the animated series.


4. What first introduced you to TMNT, please tell us a little bit about it.

The original animated series is what did it. I first discovered the existence of the TMNT from the original series. I've been hooked ever since.


5. Who is your favorite Turtle, and why?

As you all can tell, it's Leonardo. He's always been appealing to me, and ever since I read the early Mirage comics I've grown to love him. He has so much depth and character and he's so talented and he truly is the ideal ninja and was the one to off Shredder. He's portraid beautifuly in the new series and I'm really loving his new darker presence. He's so remenicent of the edgy, dark Leo from the early Mirage comics.
 

6. Which of the TMNT movies is your favorite, and do you have any stories to share about why, when and where you first saw it?

It's a tie between the first one and the second one. I would probably have liked the first one more if it wasn't so Raph-centric.


7. Have you been to any TMNT events like Tours, conventions, Store apperances, Bday party type Turtles... ect.... if so, what events? And please feel free to make a post about it in the 'TMNT fandom' under 'other'.

I can't recall going to any TMNT event.
 

8. What other things besides TMNT do you like?

I'm interested in a number of things, a few being privacy, solitude, small dark spaces, and long soothing showers.


9. Do you collect stuff of the TMNT, if so which items.. toys, comics, dvds, ect, or all?

I used to collect the early Mirage comics years ago. I'll occasionally pick up something, but I really don't collect anything anymore.


10. Do you have a TMNT web site and would you like to share the URL? Also if you got a web site and it's not TMNT, please share the URL as well.

I really don't have any websites.


11. Who is someone that's done something TMNT, that you have not met and would really like to meet?

I've been fortunate enough to meet Peter Laird and his gang twice, but I have yet to meet Kevin Eastman.
 

12. How did you hear of TMNT-L?

Through a member here by the name of...


13. Have you added yourself to our TMNT Group map? Here's the link to do so... http://www.frappr.com/tmnt

[TMNTluvr12]

1. What is your name, and which nick name would you perfer? Also do you have nicknames from other boards that you'll like to lists so friends will know it's you?

Well, my name's Ashley. You can just call me that, or Ash if you're too lazy to type out the whole thing lol

2. Where are you located?

Johnstown, PA

3. How old are you, and how long ago did you hear of TMNT?

Oh man, ever since I was in Kindergarten. So, about 13 years ago.

4. What first introduced you to TMNT, please tell us a little bit about it.

I'm guessing it was the cartoon. I watched it one time and I was offically hooked, nothing like watching mutant turtles beat up on bad guys.

5. Who is your favorite Turtle, and why?

Growing up I had a huge crush on Leonardo. I was incredible jealous of April in the cartoon, and in the movies just because she got to hang around with him. I still like Leo today but Raph is slowly working his way up to number 1.

6. Which of the TMNT movies is your favorite, and do you have any stories to share about why, when and where you first saw it?

It's a tie between the first and third movie. The first because it's dark and gritty and I like how it stays true to the comics. I like the third just because it's a fun movie.

7. Have you been to any TMNT events like Tours, conventions, Store apperances, Bday party type Turtles... ect.... if so, what events? And please feel free to make a post about it in the 'TMNT fandom' under 'other'.

I remember going to see Mikey in K-Mart when I was 7 we have pictures from it in our photoalbum lol. I also had a TMNT themed birthday.

8. What other things besides TMNT do you like?

I love movies!! I'm a DVD collector. I also like Marching Band, Majorettes, Being with my friends, just anything that puts a smile on my face.

9. Do you collect stuff of the TMNT, if so which items.. toys, comics, dvds, ect, or all?

I guess the DVDs although I really don't have that many I think I have about 10. I have 4 figurines: 2 Leo's and 2 Raph's, 2 puzzles, a blanket, a computer game, a shirt, and a coloring book.

10. Do you have a TMNT web site and would you like to share the URL? Also if you got a web site and it's not TMNT, please share the URL as well.

Don't have a site.

11. Who is someone that's done something TMNT, that you have not met and would really like to meet?

I would love to meet any of the VA's from the new or old toon.

12. How did you hear of TMNT-L?

Myspace.
