I hope that you don't mind me posting my report on AWA. I like to share my report with you all.
Thursday night.
Due to a mix up on calling the wrong hotel. I had to find another Hotel close by. My dad drove me up to find the place and since I really really hate driving in Atlanta that much. Anyway, I find a hotel that was not full and so I stayed there. The only thing bad about having to stay at there was that you had two highways and a mall across from where con was and where I was staying at. The good news was, they had a shuttle bus to take people to and from the hotel to the area where the con was.
Anyway, I check in and got everything unpack. Then me and my dad drove over to where the con was at. I pick up my AWA pass and then we headed over to Shake and Steak for a late dinner and then back to the hotel. My dad left to head home and I started to plan on what I was going to buy at the dealer room at the con. After I had it all plan out, I went off to bed and tried to get some sleep.
Friday-
I got up early and got a ride on the shuttle bus. I showed up at AWA con at 10 am and walk around a little to see where everything was at. Then I went to the AMV room and watch some of this years AMV's that would be in the contest later. at 11:30 am, I waited in the line for when the dealer room to be open. At 12:00 pm or a little after, they open the doors to the dealer room and I was off to buy anime cels and soundtracks. I didn't see alot of dealers selling anime sountracks, so from Fri to Sat, I brought anime cels and one big FMA Japan movie poster.
As I was in the dealer room, I saw Vic Mignogna and I went up to meet him and we talk for a few mins. He is so cool and very nice person. I'm glad that I got to meet him. I stayed around when signing tables where and Jessica Boone and Lauren Goodnight showed up. Since this being a Friday, there was not too many people trying to get stuff sign. So, I got to talk to both Jessica Boone and Lauren Goodnight. They are both sweethearts! They both sign my AWA program book and a few other things. Jessica Boone did the english voice of Chiyo from Azumanga Daioh, She sign two of my Chiyo douga sheets sketches. She also sign a small Azumanga Daioh poster that I had.
She also did the voice of Misaki Suzuhara from Angelic Layer and Lauren Goodnight did the voice of the Narrator in Angelic Layer. They both sign my Angelic Layer that I got out of Newtype USA mag last year.
I'm so glad that I bought that poster with me. Because after in the day, I got Mariela Ortiz, who did the voice of Ringo Seto in Angelic Layer, to sign the poster too. So, before long, I should have my Angelic Layer poster fully sign by just about everyone that did voice work on that show. Later in the day, I got Greg Ayres to sign my AWA program book and I talk to him for a few mins. Greg is a really cool guy and funny too. Then I got Vic to sign my FMA Japan movie poster and we talk for a few more mins before I headed on.
I mostly stayed in the dealer room on Friday and I was tried. I left the con and got me some dinner and went back to the hotel and went on to bed.
