Big ol' AX post
Jul. 14th, 2007 12:29 amHere it is folks, my thoughts on Anime Expo 2007.
AX has always been the BIG convention to go to, bigger than Otakon, bigger than--something really big. For many on the West Coast, particularly around the LA area, going to AX is no big deal due to proximity. But for many on the East Coast, it's that pie-in-the-sky convention, the one that we always talk about going to but most never do.
Well, the time for speaking of legends is over, and thus begins a time for creating them. After 12 years of going to almost 70 anime conventions (over 70 if I count sci-fi events), one of my friends lit a fire under my ass and so wits and resources were gathered and off we went to Anime Expo this year. I went, I saw, I had fun.
( In the end, I regret nothing. )
This is proving to be a rather busy summer. Anime Mid Atlantic, then AX, and I'm going to swing by Shore Leave tomorrow, and a week from now, Otakon. One after another after another. This really isn't much more than usual, but AX felt like three. I need another 7 weekends this month alone for conventions, anime clubs, and AUSA meetings. But more importantly, one weekend so I can disappear and chill.
