I'm slowly getting sucked into the world of Rich Pav. I'm a CG animator living in Los Angeles. I've been working some crazy hours over the past few months trying to finish my work on Spiderman 3. The podcasts are a nice escape while I'm mentally chained to my desk. Keep it up. You are being heard.

Listener since, um, whenever iTunes added podcasting - yours was one of the first podcasts I came across on there and have been listening/watching since. Few comments, but nothing so much as you'd know me. I love the rambling and the wanderings around the city - I really think you should do something with your idea of introducing more people to local indie artists. I'm planning something similar here in the UK and think it would be great to give more exposure to artists without much web experience. Occasional visitor to Japan (family visits and stuff) - I too considered the idea of saying hello any buying you a beer when last in Tokyo in Jan, but also concluded that it would be way too creepy for you :) Hope my donation can buy a beer (not sure @ Tokyo prices!)

I wouldn't drink a venti latte if you paid me. Furthermore, we pay $11 a month for below-bare-bones cable, simply because we have to have "local broadcast" television. My last available online money went to the Pirate Bay guys that were trying to buy Sealand. Not the brightest move, upon reflection... Not to be too snarky back to Dave, but coffee sucks.

Not that I expect a personal thank you, but how do I know it was received and not languishing in a dormant Paypal account? Come on folks - every one of you people who has read this far is being entertained and can afford $5! Pathetic that some people say they can't afford $5 yet they probably had a venti latte this morning and spend $80 a month for cable TV.

I remember the one, when you went to a hairdresser-shop with your stereo-mikes on, and explained to the hairdresser what podcasting is. It was quite a sensation to hear the cutting-machine going from one ear to the other. I'd send you 5$, but rolling naked in money is stupid, and I imagin it sounds really lame. How about buying yourself a nice suit, and explain the tailor what podcasting is? Greetings from Zurich, Switzerland Hi Rich

One of the weird things about having a podcast or vlog, as opposed to an all-text-and-photo blog, is that it's a lot harder to get a grasp on audience size. Like you, I always think, "Who are these people?" when I look at the logs and traffic. The remodeling looks good - new bells and whistles and all. I've often wondered why you didn't take advantage of your seemingly large audience. Seems like you have some loyal fans, too. If I were you, I'd sell photos with the fan photo-shopped in with you and something like "Dear [fan's name], thanks for being my best friend in the world." Apparently, you'd make bank. As for donations, I'll give you $5 <em>not</em> to record yourself rolling naked in money. Or recording yourself <em>not</em> doing so. Or whichever makes sense.

Yhea when I was in Tokyo, I thought of meeting you for a drink as well but it was just after you said that you weren’t going to do any more podcasts on your Blog so I thought it might be a bit weird (don’t know why). But if I’m ever in Tokyo again I will email you and see if you want to have a few drinks in a Hub bar.

Maybe you remember this " My name is Richard too, but Ricardo in Portuguese." I visit your website every week at minimum, I'm great fan of herroflomjapan ! I do not post a lot because I think my English is not so good, but I am improving my Japanese... Maybe one day when I go to Tokyo again I can meet you, I went there in September but I thought it was too creepy… for you to meet some unknown listener. Keep up the good “Work”… Hey Rich,

Although the idea makes me laugh. Wow you were able to get a lot of responses from this simple post, but it seems we won't be having a honey covered Rich rolling around in a pile of money.

My wife got on my mac and saw the video of you at the beach with the kids. After being beaten by her when I got home, she decided that it was a really funny video. Now she listens to your podcast too.

One of these days I'm going to have to video them giving me "super hugs." It's where you take a running start, vault onto Daddy and hug him with both your arms and legs at the same time, noisly squeezing all the air out of him. Either I'm going to miss that when they're teenagers, or they're going to put me in the hospital with a broken back and a crushed ribcage. @Bennie, I know you already! And if your English isn't good, then maybe mine isn't good enough to be able to notice. @Meggie, it's not creepy at all; it's a widely known fact that my kids are the cutest.
