    thats right, geeks. Get your Initial D, Fullmetal Alchemist, Blood Hellsing, scantilly clad costume girl, movie premier, commision art, Jrock guest bands, voiceactors, Japanese Director of Robotech/Macross!!, and discounted goodies dealers room fix on all weekend.

    I'm an assistant director for this one so I won't have too much time to hangout until late, but swing by and say hi. Been doing this for 12 years now since the show only had 250 people, doesn't look like I'm tired of it yet and were expecting 9000+.

    Post up if you're going. :)

    Sounds fun since i'm not really doing anything this weekend. Does everyone wear costumes to these things? Oh, and is there any Warhammer 40k(my favorite tabletop wargame turned drinking game) going on?

    well, not everyone, of course, but many many people.

    and as far as warhammer, i'm not sure, but there is tabletop and paper gaming in a room every year

    so are the prices in the vendor area much higher than what you would pay in a anime shop or fry's type place?

    depends on what kind of shopper you are. Its a dealers room, so the vendors are all competing. Make an offer, you'll be surprised. I've swung many a good deal.

    also, there's lots of unique backstock, toys, and non video paraphenalia. ;p
