^ Sounds good.
So yeah!
Remember that we all meet up at the Hilton lobby at 5 PM tomorrow! Mr. Jones will be there. Try not to disappoint him!! ( 'o')!!
After that, we can go hit up Shin-Sen-Gumi (http://www.shinsengumiusa.com/FV_ramen/index.php) for some tasty ramen! http://smilies.vidahost.com/kao/otn/pnoodles.gif

Say hi to Man-Faye for me. No, seriously. Just go up to him and say, "Say hi to Man-Faye for me," and he'll be like, "Um, I'M Man-Faye." Then you say, "Yeah, sucks to be you."
Oh, you thought I wanted you to give him my regards? Now that's a laugh.
I hope everyone gets to talk to Vic. He's a cool guy. But not as cool as Richard Epcar. Now THAT guy is fun to be around. I mean, what other voice actor makes a last-minute panel to showcase vulgar Lupin outtakes? And I'm kinda surprised Steve Blum's not a guest. I mean, he lives and works in the same city. He's probably dubbing another 20 hours worth of video games or something. Man, I remember last month when I told him about Beau Billingslea calls Cloud "Spikey" (because of his hair) in Advent Children and he confirmed my speculation that it was a reference to Bebop (even though Steve doesn't play Cloud). Ah, the joy of meeting voice actors.

Guess AX finally did something right with registration 'cause it only took me a minute to get my badge holder. =) Too bad there was an accident on the 5 on my way there. >.< Hopefully traffic won't be that bad tomorrow. Guess I'll see a few of you at around 5-ish.

Yeah registration definitely seemed efficient so far. After the clock struck 1, the line definitely seemed to be going at a progressive pace (compared to last year, at least).

question...why do you say " I " and "me" so many times??
are you full of yourself or something??
just wondering
Anywho, already got a few things together now, clothes-PS2-PSP-anime and movies. Due to summer school I'll be able to just go for two days, but stay for one night only instead of the two, which is cool since canceling one night stay I got a few dollars out of it (more money to buy anime stuff). Oh well, still, it is gonna be awesome to stay there one night and check out the fireworks. See ya

I sure had a blast at this year's con. Didn't buy a lot of things, but I did get a chance to meet Laura Bailey. ^_^ She's so cute. Funny too. Also got to get a couple of autographs from a few of the other guests. I really liked the FMA movie.
Sorry I counldn't make the meeting on Saturday.

I've been hearing a lot of "It really sucked this year compared to the past few." What did you think?

Well, thus concludes another AX experience...the 5th under my belt. ^_^
I've been hearing a lot of "It really sucked this year compared to the past few." What did you think?
Other than a few problems that I experienced, I believe AX06 did pretty good this year.

July 4th, 2006, 07:20 PM
Wheeeeeeee! I'm back from Anime Expo. I liked this year and all but I wish I didn't have work. I missed a major day of the con. Not only that but I wish the lines were shorter... there were more things to do... and well, a cool music guest. CLAMP was great and all but I WISH they the panel started when it was suppose to start. Registration was great but I wish things started on time.
So, who cosplayed? Post pictures! =)

July 4th, 2006, 10:29 PM
AX06 was amazing for me... Between the new friends I got to meet and hang out with... the cosplay groups I joined, hosting the Gundam panel, and meeting Toru Furuya... the event just ended up being a ton of fun, especially for my first AX.
Although... does anybody know what the Long Beach location will be like? I don't know if I'll return next year, but I'd like an idea on what I should expect.

The long beach con center is actually pretty nice. My highschool held two homecomings there and its got a bunch of space to work with. On the plus side there's plenty of stuff around the con center in case you're not in the mood for the con ^^;

BEST AX EVAR!
Mostly because I did a better job of reaching the events I wanted to get to buying the stuff I wanted, and actually hanging out with a ton of people I had wanted to. Plus some friends from Florida even came to stay in our Hilton room.

Oh wait a minute. That was my friend Mike. He went with me in those Bukkake shirts on one of the days but I had to go back to the Hotel and clear some things up though because my girlfriend ****ed up my **** that day <_<

^ I'm booked for that entire week. I'm going to be insanely busy. ( 'o')!!
Let's do shabu shabu on the 5th. I'll pick you up if you need a ride.
But yeah! This is for sure then.
Shabu shabu at Toji!
When? Saturday, August 5, 2006 at 6 PM.
Where? Toji: 2212 Artesia Blvd., Torrance, CA 90504 (http://local.yahoo.com/details;_ylt=Anb8f18SlIHnmGP5eW67bfmHNcI F;_ylu=X3oDMTBpZzIyMjd0BF9zAzk2NjEzNzY5B HNlYwNzcg--?id=20533377&state=CA&city=Encino&stx=toji&csz=Encino%2C+CA&fr=FP-tab-lcl-t-t400&ed=EcJymK131Dxr8WB9vaHAmmkByj7oHxDvzf9Th Yk.ajcJgAMy_TUqDC9_Tw--&lcscb=dA8RNAcCfjV)
What is shabu shabu? The question is, do you like beef and/or pork, vegetables, rice, soy sauce? If you do, you'll like shabu shabu. They give you a plate of thinly sliced beef and/or pork & you boil it in a pot of boiling water on your table. You also add vegetables to it. They consist of cabbage, green onions, rice noodles, & tofu. Once you cook the meat, you take it & dip it into a citrus based soy sauce called ponzu. They also have steamed white rice that's pretty sticky & quite tasty! I'm already drooling as I type this. http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/edoom/mouth_water.gif
How much? OK. This might be pricey for a few of you, but the thing is that it's all you can eat. It's $18 per person, but with tips ($3.60 at 20% on $18), taxes ($1.49 at 8.25% on $18), & everything, it comes out to about $23 per person. It would be best if everyone brought their exact $23 in cash. There is no need to count money or try to figure out how much change is needed. You just plop down your $23 & you're done. This is provided that you ONLY drink water. I would not recommend drinking soda there. They don't have refills & it always seems to be flat. It's only worth drinking beer or other liqour, IF YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH!! Hahaha! Had to put that disclaimer.
So yeah! If you want to try out this tasty Japanese meal, let me know. I'll most likely have to make a reservation if a bunch of us go.

July 16th, 2006, 07:28 PM
