Anime Escrow (Expo!)

Hurrah! Anyone coming this year?

LA Convention Center, huh? I *might* be able to go -- I have to find out the coverage schedule for that weekend. (July 2-5)

I was actually fairly impressed by the venue (Los Angeles Convention Center) due to its proximity to Staples Center and Nokia theatre. At first I was somewhat afraid because it was close to the "ghetto" but quickly got over it. It also helps that it was better managed in '08 than in '07, in Long Beach. Although Long Beach was nice, the fact that getting back into the exhibit hall required a frakking pilgrimage kinda ruined it for me.

I've considered Comic Con, but not even the economic meltdown can prevent it from being sold out. So I think that's a no for me.

I think I'm going to pass this year. I'm watching less anime, and the convention just seems to be more and more of a waste of money. Costs are rising, but return seems to be decreasing.

Without Kaligraphic, I see no way for the event to be a success.

*whimper* Oh well, I was beginning to tire of pretty much going alone for the fifth year in a row, besides CAA folk. I really just wanted a place where I can participate in my cosplay hobby without looking like a psychopath.
