KT’S TRIP DIARIES

Aug. 18 - Aug. 22, 2000

The sequel to Taurmania! Vakko had so much fun hosting Taurmania last year he decided to do it again, and this time we had a special guest of honor: Jon McClenahan, the guy who runs/ran? Startoons, one of the few animation companies located in the States that animated some episodes of Animaniacs and Tiny Toons. And yes, we went to the Renaissance Festival again!
