I was there as well. 2nd row. I was one of the primary people who started up the "Desslok! Desslok Desslok!!" Chants each time.

And the utterly FANTASTIC thing about this is that Rob AD LIBBED the ENTIRE THING. Even his responses to the "heckler" were on the spot greatness!

"Well I lost something in translation!" should go down in history as one of the greatest come-backs ever!

This is a great video! Funny stuff and witty! I come here and watch this video every couple of months, always makes me laugh! I only wish there were more of this Disslok impersonator!

Can't believe I stumbled on this. I was actually there in that room during this convention in San Jose. I was working for a video pirate at the time...

I was in the room during all that! Wow that brings back memories. Wasn't this the first cosplay in America? Huge Japanese guests just walking around everywhere. It sure was different back then. I remember accidentally crashing Haruhiko Mikimoto's birthday party. Please post the clip from this cosplay with Kenichi Sanoda.

No, certainly not the first cosplay... Project A-Kon in Texas had run twice before this with a masquerade, and before that people were wearing anime based costumes at other cons for years (Rob had had his Desslok costume at Lunacon since the mid-80s).

Thanks Rheinhard for a blast from the past from an old friend. I was an early member of the Star Blzaers Fan Club back in '79. I met Bob Fenelon in '83 at WorldCon in Baltimore and we had an 'unofficial' SBFC meeting there.  Still have my photos of the get together in our costumes goofing off. Anyway, thanks for the Desslok/Desslar American Express Card Fenelon classic! Hope he's still in NYC doing well!
