Day 2:

You actually got to see the guy I know on tumblr that dresses up as Gai Ikari. Nice.

Did you get all 79 photos? I stupidly uploaded them to the wrong folder and had to send them one at a time to the right folder. AH!!!!

I got my autographs from Sabat, Vic, and Inuoe, bought $282 worth of stuff from Bluefin, and then my friend lost my camera charger, so I don't have a real camera for the rest of the weekend. -_-

That sounds a lot like what I'm going to do at SDCC. :lol

Well, I hate to say this, but AX is single handily the second worst convention I have ever been to. The staff is rude, they have no idea what is going on because no one communicates with each other, not a single panel or autograph session has started on time, they are very disorganized, you ask one of them a question and they either give you a completely different answer from the guy before or they just tell you they don't know, etc. It has ruined my enjoyment of this convention as a whole and I doubt anything is going to change tomorrow. I was really looking forward to it and I don't feel I have gotten even half of my money's worth out of it. I should NOT have to line up 3 hours before a panel just to have a chance to maybe getting into it. In fact, they should NOT be letting people line up that early for a panel!!

Anyway, my camera charger was retrieved as someone turned it in to Lost and Found. With that said, here are my pics from today:

Day 3:

Yup. AnimeExpo has gotten worse and worse. I've been going since the beginning...and the past 3 years have been bad..hell, becuase of my job, we have to go to quite a few "cons". Its gotten too big too quickly. I've never seen it this bad. I'm just glad I don't have to pay for the passes. That would have pissed me off. Same thing happened to wondercon. It was nice when it was in San Fran.

It was even nicer the first year it moved down to Anaheim...but this year's Wondercon was insane. It was just like comic-con all over again.

Speaking of comic-con, I keep saying this year will be my last..but I'll keep going as long as the studios can get us the hotel rooms. The day they can't get us our hotel room is the day I stop going. Double edged sword...its nice that the geek world is now "acceptable"...but it kinda shuts out us "real" geeks. :(

Sorry, not every picture uploaded to the slideshow, so I have fixed that. There are about 15 pics that weren't there last night, including a GokaiRed.

Yeah, we most likely won't go ever again. It is just too expensive. We had to pay to park in our own friggin hotel. We had to pay to park to go to the library even though we were only going for 15 minutes. We had to pay to park to do anything and everything, it is ridiculous. I think we have spent $400+ in just parking alone. THen the food is overly priced, there does not seem to be a single water fountain in the convention center, so I have to keep paying $2.50 for a bottle of water.

I'm glad to have experienced the convention, I'm glad to have seen LA, but the only time I want to visit LA from now on is when I'm playing a GTA game based in it.

Same way I feel about Miami.

I know this is no consolation for you but I get really jealous of people who get to go to cons as I'm a poor man in the United Kingdom so when I read that overall the experience kinda sucks and apparently kinda sucks in a lot of conventions I feel less like I am missing out. As selfish as that may or may not come across.

Cons do exist over here. I'm going to the one in Manchester, and it was only £9 entrance fee.
