Yeah but it isn't the same though really is it?

Although I do go to the Doncaster Toy Fair every year, which is basically like a con but without the autographs and costumes.

I do remember the one time I had the opportunity to go to SDCC, but after doing the math, travel fees, plus registration and ticket price, and a hotel room for all the days would have left me with about $20 to spend :lol
Not even accounting for food.

Has nothing to do with what you're discussing, but that made me headbutt a wall in disappointment :p

Every time I think about going to a con that's the math I do and I end up not going... I primarily just want to buy stuff, and with the internet there's just no reason. Even if there's an exclusive and you have to pay scalper prices, it's still much cheaper than actually going.

I'm having a blast! I'll post a vid later :)

Posted in How Is Everyone Today, but here is my day at AX. Only disappointment is that they didn't let me audition for the voice acting auditions cause they went over time :(

Oh cool! Looks liked it was fun, and there was a Wizard!

Well Day 4 was full of both disappointments and enjoyment. Got some great pictures of the Toku cosplayers during their photoshoot, got to see Ghost in the Shell Arise, along with got most of the autographs I wanted, and got to have a nice talk with one of the managers about how I felt about the management of the con and he pretty much agreed with me "as a non-manager" and said the new owners are dragging the con down year by year to the point that he might not return next year.

With that said, not all of the pictures have uploaded, but here is the slideshow link:

OVerall, despite my frustrations, I am glad to have experienced both LA and AX. In the long run, I did enjoy myself, but for everything good, there was something bad. Not sure if I will ever go back to AX again, and I'm not sure I ever want to go back to LA, but like I said, getting to experience it was fantastic.
