Biography:
Patrick Delahanty is perhaps best known as the creator of FanCons.com, the largest source for fan convention information on the Internet. He is also a producer and host for the AnimeCons TV podcast. Prior to this, Patrick was the founder and host of The Chibi Project where, for over 15 years, he was responsible for conducting horrible experiments on anime toys for no good reason.
Patrick is an advocate for fan conventions. He has attended nearly 200 of them and is one of the founders of both Anime Boston and Providence Anime Conference. He has hosted his popular improv event, Anime Unscripted, for over 20 years at over a dozen different conventions in two countries and in five time zones.
In 2014, Patrick used up a little more of his 15 minutes of fame when he and his wife created a custom "Dancing Baby Groot" from Guardians of the Galaxy that went viral.
Back in the 90s, Patrick was the voice of the fighter pilots in the award-winning Macintosh game Escape Velocity and its sequel, EV: Override.

I got detention in high school for printing a one-page political satire newspaper (many years before The Onion) because the vice principal was the brother of our then-Senator and the brother-in-law of our then-Governor.
