When the Rolling Stones become guest then I will s**t me pants XD. Anyhoo, yeah this year is a no go for me. Sorry Sean

Well enjoy A-Kon ya bastards XD. All that overpriced japanese candy and soda that you need a degree to get opened.

Dr. Steel?

So hows A-Kon? Who all went?

Actually japi did for a little last year. Besides I didn't expect them to.

Actually, Japi and I really wanted to check Gaia on her laptop while resting in the hotel room, but yet we didn't because what is now the Sheraton Hotel charges $10 a day just for using the internet there xp
All in all, we had a good time over there. I went to the Versailles concert and they were a really good Japanese gothic metal band that put on a good show 3nodding
The anime showings kinda sucked this year though since many of the ones they were showing were already shown last year and they weren't even on the official schedule either (we had to go to the actual room to check the anime listings) xp
In the Dealer's Room, I went ahead and bought the box set of Saiyuki: Reload for the deadly price of $155 since Geneon is now out of business and any anime that Geneon has brought over has now drastically increased in price and may become more rare to find...
I also bought the box set of the anime Ghost Stories xd

It went under about 4 months ago... from what I hear They had already handed control of their online shop (rightstuf) over to ADV. Lets hope ADV manages to bring some of the great material back. I never got a chance to buy the Fate/Stay Night series...
