He's fantastic. I'm very fortunate and honoured to have met him myself; he was down here in Australia for Midfur 2012, and I was able to hold several conversations. Even ate at the same table with him at one point.
When I first met him was a typical Uncle Kage moment. I was not far from the entrance to the speaking hall and the organisers asked everyone to moved to one side and allow the guests to come through. When I caught sight of him I was thinking "Oh my goodness, IT'S HIM IT'S HIM." Just too late I realised I was actually saying it aloud.
He heard me, and immediately stepped into the crowd right beside me as if he was a spectator and asked me "Who?"
I couldn't reply, I just burst out laugh. The guy is so witty, friendly and great fun to listen to.

Hi Kagemushi. I can't tell if you're being serious.
Well, to answer the question I was finding it hard to believe that I was standing on the same square metre of floor as Uncle Kage. You know... the guy with the lab coat and (at the time) the platypus plush on his shoulder.
Maybe it was just me being wild-eyed at the prospect of attending my first actual con. Midfur 2012 was fantastic. I've attended most (if not all) of Sydney's Furjams since 2008 but Midfur was my first fully-fledged furry convention. Probably my last for a while since travel and accommodation are disproportionately expensive for me. (Also I'll probably have to look for another job next year). I was very fortunate and privileged to meet yourself, Jenner and (surprisingly) Jenner's wife Noni(?) Bunny who turned out to be the more extroverted and talkative of the pair. I guess Jenner's webcomic is his primary form of expression.
*Every* furry who's been in the fandom for more than a year knows Uncle Kage. Watching your videos on YouTube is not only entertaining but inspiring. Your commitment to the well-being of the fandom is highly commendable, and I'm most envious of both your diplomatic tact and PR skills. I also had a passing interest in chemistry when I was younger (a rude and poorly-skilled high school teacher put me off it unhappily). Do you have a page somewhere for science questions? In particular I've long been interested in the topic of the different valences of elements, assuming that's not a physics question rather than chemistry. Hell I wish I could be present during one of your furry Q & A sessions. One of the first questions I would ask is what your own personal interest in the fandom is, as this point doesn't seem to be covered anywhere that I've found.
I mentioned to you at Midfur that I was in admiration over the way you dealt with the Antrhocon 2007 protestors. It's very difficult dealing with ignorant jerks. They can't be reasoned with intellectually, and they thrive on the conflict. I don't intend to charge headfirst toward the media to defend the fandom (Hell I can't even deal with the antifur in my own office) but I hope I can learn enough from your talks to dodge the glare if the media shove a camera and microphone in my face. Hopefully "You should speak with one of the organisers, let me help you find somebody..." will work, but if they bombard me with questions I want to know how NOT to give the fandom another "black eye" as you've said that replying "No comment" means "Yes" to them.
I would, if only I could, attend Anthrocon but there's a big mass of salt water in the way. I do hope that someday, somehow, I'll have another opportunity to sit in the crowd listening to you.
