I realized it wouldn't be very fun to drive at least three to four hours round trip just to spend two hours at night at Anaheim, so I will bleed out some extra cash to shell out the one-day entrance fee. I am making very tight calculations for how much money I need to spend for AX. I won't go into details, but it certainly is more than a guy who has no income would care to spend in a single day. Suffice it to say, I won't buy any $6 boxes of Pocky (especially since I can buy it, or the equivalent (actually better) Yan Yan for much cheaper at either 99 Ranch or Seafood City). Too bad that my new job doesn't start till the next week.

Just got back from the first day of AX.

I stayed for the AMV competion, and dang, some of those AMV's were awsome.
Hopefully I'll be able to find them online soon.

And I can't wait to see all you guys tommorrow!

Just returned from my first day at AX 2005... I hate the stupid registration lines...

Anyway, I'm thinking that Bride of Berserk and the 1985 songs were my favorites. I can't wait to show them to my friends who couldn't make it.

So... I guess I'll be seeing you guys tomorrow. I really can't wait. I'm so excited to meet you all! In case any of you wanted to know, I'll be wearing a haori, shorts, and a black t-shirt with sandals tomorrow. Also, my nickname on my badge is the same as my screen name.

This may or may not be the last time I can check into CAA before I arrive tonight, so just a reminder to those people with my cell number, don't call it before 5pm (I'll still be rounding in the hospital so I won't have it on, and my voice mail is not reliable). With luck the census is low, so I can finish and get out of there at a reasonable time to do battle with the Riverside Fwy (sighs). mechana, I'll probably call you on my way over.

I'll be in a grey zipper polo, shorts and sandals, and I'll meet y'all at Downtown Disney at 7.

I'm a bit curious, but AnimeExpo is held annually, correct? So next year, will almost everyone here be attending again..? ^__^;; I'm asking fairly early because I have a group of friends who are currently planning a trip to Mexico from June 24th to July 14th, 2006. If there's a chance of meeting a few CAA members I'm familiar with, I'll skip out on that and buy tickets for AX 2006. *__*;;

First picture! Unfortunately, this doesn't have Locke, but this does have everyone else. Taken outside the House of Blues in Downtown Disney after the Xpo.

Folks who went, I have my camera and Palm Pilot downloaded, so I'll get the movies and hi-res versions up soon so you can get them too.

More pictures to come, including Ingemar and the Kuroneko Cosplay Adventure! (The Ko-Dai Cosplay Adventure is already obvious here. :) )

For the record, that's my sunglasses on top of Kokoro Daisuke's head.

You may see the picture, but no two-dimensional image can prepare you for the cuteness that is Kokoro Daisuke.

GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Also (shameless plug) I highly recommend Kaligraphic's Teleportation Service: because the secret to teleportation is to be somewhere where you're not, and not be where you currently are (or something to that effect).

I will make a separate Goof Off thread about this.

More pictures.

#1 -- At dinner. There really isn't a good one of all of us at HoB because the table was too long.

#2 -- SirThinks2Much commented that my night photography experiments with a long exposure time looked like things out of those hotel brochures, so here's a postcard you can send to your loved ones and other people.

Cosplay photos this afternoon :)

I picked up a display sword from the swordsonline booth. (a $30 Last Samurai katana)

I plan to find a sword for each year that I go. (No, this one is not for serious use - it's for making a sword rack look useful. As in, a memento of being at AX.)
