Has It Been That Long?

With Anime Vegas 2010 on the horizon, I realize that I'll be skipping out on Sac-Anime Summer 2010. This means that will have not been to ONE Sacramento convention one calendar year starting from Sac-Anime Summer 2009. However, I still have rest of 2010 to attend a Sac-Con; if I don't attend one then, that will mean that I went one convention year (January-December) without attending ONE Sacramento convention.

Maybe this is a good thing, branching out to bigger and better conventions. My wallet has taken a larger hit with the extra convention expenses and reimbursements for my colleagues, but the experience it so worth it.

This is probably explanatory by itself, but we're getting everyone and their stuff together in 3...2...1...

Ryan's Themes of Anime Vegas 2010

Anime Expo is Comic-Con Before It Sold Out： infoMania

I don't know why I didn't post this earlier after I found it after Anime Expo 2010. It's probably one of the best videos that came out of the convention.

PERSONA MUSIC LIVE @ FanimeCon 2011?

I'm a huge Persona/SMT fan, and for awhile I've been suggesting that FanimeCon bring over composer Shoji Meguro who has worked on virtually every SMT-related game since 1996. In essence, this could mean that they could bring over the PERSONA MUSIC LIVE show that they did in Japan in 2007 & 2009 and could also be the US-debut(?) of people like Yumi Kawamura and Lotus Juice.

Here's a small sampling to what I hope they bring over to FanimeCon 2011 if my suggestion is made possible and my dreams come true.

The B3 Burrito Challenge

Ryan wants to do this and is trying to get me to do this:




My money is on the burrito. Besides, I prefer the monster BLT that they offer with a FULL POUND OF BACON.

Meanwhile, over at Otakon...

Oh why couldn't they do this at Anime Expo?

Themes of Anime Vegas 2010: Makoto Yoshimori - Ikebukuro West Exit Five-way Intersection

Anything and everything will happen while in Las Vegas. I've been to all the room parties and raves at cons in years past, but this doesn't compare to the full nightlife that presents itself in the desert.

In fact, Las Vegas reminds of me Ikebukuro...
