  • I went to visit one day of the Anime Expo again this year. Just like the past years, I don't really go there for the anime or the anime related panels, so I always opt for the "dealer's room only" pass. There are pretty much two things I look forward to at the Anime Expo, possible merchandise that I want to buy (mostly shirts), and to take pictures of the "cosplayers" (costumed folks).

    I went with my fiancee again this year, and this is the first time she bought more things than I did. I bought one single item, she purchased about five or so different items. Speaking of merchandise, this year is the biggest dealer's room I've ever seen for the Anime Expo. The dealer's room has finally expanded to an additional adjoining room, so there are more booths and more things to buy. They even had some anime showing on big screens, karaoke contests, and even a Japanese Pop band performed. I even saw the lovely Linda Tran who I met at the San Diego Comic-Con last year, BUT since I'm with you know who, I couldn't exactly chat it up with her without looking like I'm flirting.... well then...

    The rest of the time we spent there was taking pictures of the cosplayers. Also I think I'm over the shock that there are actually many ladies attending this convention, and a good majority of them are pretty, cute, or even hot.
