In 1995, participants in the alt.tv.animaniacs newsgroup decided to meet each other in Southern California. Hearing this, the producers at Warner Bros. Animation invited us to visit them. The E! television network was there for a part of the visit and produced this segment for their E! News Daily show. I'm the guy in the hat. The hat became a running gag online and later was drawn on The Lobe in an episode of Freakazoid!.
The event was called Animania IV because it was the fourth such planned gathering of Animaniacs fans. Animania events continued after this, and still happen well into the 21st century, but are few and far between these days. They're generally just a gathering of fans who already know each other quite well either from the internet or from previous Animania events (called "Manias" for short).
And yes, that is the same Jay Maynard (E! misspelled his name) who years later would become a minor celebrity as "Tron Guy".

When the show was being produced and broadcast, one of the largest viewing demographics were people in their 20s. This upset the network, of course, because their advertisers wanted to see little kids on the viewing figures.
There is no such thing. The sets are planned (mostly) one at a time, and as of yet, last I've heard, there has never been a Vol. 4 planned. All the talk of "delay" is purely false expectations by fans. A "delay" would mean the set is planned, which it isn't.
Not composing, but conducting the orchestra. It was the scoring session for the short "Bingo". Jess Harnell sat down next to me, and he was just as excited as I was to witness a scoring session (it's not something the voice actors usually get to see either). Once he figured out which episode it was, he was even more thrilled, as it was his favorite of the season. After the session, I spoke to Mr Stone briefly. Given that he is no longer with us now, I'm glad I took the time to talk to him then.

I feel very sorry for Richard Stone....now that he has passed on...
