I feel like a JERK

..for watching this footage of Uncle Kage from about 1995 or so:

Watch on YouTube

He sure looked... different then. Not a day over 80. ;-)

Wow, he had an ego back then too by the looks of things. Oh the hair, and large lensed glasses! XD

What a guy.

There is a difference between ego and someone who is a showman an actor if you will. The two can sometimes get confused. Frankly I've met more then my fair share of con heads over the last few years and MANY have the same traits that Kage does. Part of me is starting to wonder if its a genetic thing. :xP

Competent type-A's are rare in furry fandom.

[kiallamraptor.livejournal.com]

Whats that video from anyway?

[giza.livejournal.com]

Yeah, what Kellic said. Kage is very good at attracting attention and "hamming it up" (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ham+it+up), if you will.

Ah, CFE 1995 (http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/ConFurence_East_1995)? Reminds me of the time I saw a photo of him from that time (http://www.madsci.org/hofbios/conway_s.html) (scroll down) - it was traumatizing!

Jimminy Crickets! i remember having glasses like that, too! Aieee!

And no, I don't feel like a jerk... I was a little busy finishing my senior year in college. Two years before I even entered the fandom! @:)

I was busy finishing the third grade.

[susandeer.livejournal.com]

OWWW!

Totally reminds me of the PC guy from the Apple commercials. Guess its the Hair.

[alohawolf.livejournal.com]

The suit helps, so does the general hammyness of actions

[nikvulper.livejournal.com]

Instead of looking like my chemistry teacher, he looks like a combination of a sports caster and my chemistry teacher :)

[cyriljackal.livejournal.com]

He totally looks like Mark Mothersbaugh at that point.

[foxlord.livejournal.com]

heh heh I remember when he lost his hair on stage at Anthrocon ^.^
wow back in 1995, I was a Junior in High school.

[eddiddiums.livejournal.com]

He looks like Dr. Egon Spengler!

Who ya gonna call?

Uncle Kage!

[giza.livejournal.com]

He collects spores, mold, and fungus.

The bigger question is where is this from? He didn't take on AC until...around 1999, or 2000, right?

In 1997-98, AC was in Albany, NY.
