It's so far in advance to think much about it now, but yeah, it would be cool to room together, unless you want that alone time with the BF, heh heh.
Next year…. I may come since I will be done with college.
Los Angeles? Hot Dog! That's where I live!
@CosmicDebris:
Driving from OC to LA is a PAIN.
But it would be well worth it. We could hang out. :)
Yay more people for AX08 :D
Hope no one believes the whole getting robbed at the LACC >>:
I been trying to go since AX 99, problem is, its on a bad day or sold out or something else… I have to try for AX 08 then.:sad:
AX is never sold out O-o
AX is never sold out O-o
I guess someone lied to me years ago then… If I do make it to AX 08 though, this will be my 1st ever anime convention
bahh.
LA's gonna be freaking hot. -___-
why can't they stay near the beach?
Gah! It was like super Fun getting to meet e1n and eggy ;D
Gonna ask for some stuff later dont care much for the wait XD;
Let's hope we get that "King of Anime Expo" down the line.
And next year I'll definitely make it a priority to spend more time with you guys. To be honest, it's just that so much goes on there, between panels and my other friends and how I actually get overwhelmed by a lot of stimulus easily, that I get hesitant. And I never imagined I would be hanging around Arlong Park for this long, to the point where I actually could be making friends.
But I'm looking to go all four days in '08, so I'll do what I can to plan ahead. And heads up, if you're a fan of old-school anime, you've gotta come with me next year to the best panel you're bound to see at AX.
Anyway, here's the pic: http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/1075/apgroup1rl7.jpg
I think you got the wrong link, all i see is a bunch of nerds in this pic
Uploaded some of the photos to my facebook profile.
General AX pics
One Piece AX pics
Granted these aren't all of the pics from the One Piece gathering. There were a lot more close up shots during the photo shoot. I'll upload those to my photobucket folder and post them here later (especially more of the One Piece orgy).

Sshhhh, you all know we're really super hot super models, but you know, we need to protect our real identity.
If anyone can find pics of the Zoro's Vs Sanji's please PM or IM me with them XP
I took some Z v. S pics with Bushido's camera.
Gah Bushi is like half way in Arizona XD
Mama mia! Itsa me!

The AX One Piece album only has 36 pics. Facebook folders can hold 60. My album on my comp has 82. Time to post some of the duplicates and close ups of some of the group pics (specifically Zorro x Sanji and the orgy).
edit–
Okay, the photo count jumped from 36 to 48. Enjoy.
Goddamnit, I missed the orgy! I'm blubbering here, I'm blubbering!!

I might try to make it to AX 08, but I don't know how I'd react to talking with other forum members. It would be like:
AP Veterans: BLAH! Blahblahblah Blah Blah! Blah? Blah….
Lapen: Hey! ...Guys!.... Um..., how you doing?
AP Vets: "..."
Lapen: So, um, how 'bout them 49ers?
At least half the people in the group weren't AP veterans…in fact one person never posted on this forum, ever (though she did after the con). So don't worry about it, it was all completely new for all of us to meet each other and we all had fun.
Yah. I just registered here last month XP. Dun be worried, be happy!
Ugh. My sunburn is still a little sore @_@. Here's hoping LACC has more shade!
@Bee's:

uggh, i second that! im peeling and sore also, it was hot and sunny, maybe i should cosplay as ms. valentine just so i could carry an umbrella.
heres also hoping for a shady LA!
I might try my hand at cosplay next year. I was thinking about going as Pero from "The Wonderful World of Puss 'n Boots", but recently I discovered Tourettes Guy so I might go as him. Tourettes Guy may have nothing to do with anime but at least I wouldn't be that hot in the outfit, unless you count the neckbrace.
If I do get to go to AX 08 I probably dress up as nami from the skypia arc:
Ack. I live closer to Long Beach. That adds another twenty minutes to me getting to a convention. Driving through LA traffic, no less.
Hey, it takes me a half hour to drive to Long Beach and more than an hour to LA depending on traffic. I think it's a little easier getting to the convention center than other spots in LA though, the 110 is a nice big road.
I might also consider taking the Metro link. I wouldn't have a car to drive around the city though.
OOOH HOW I MISSED MY INTERNET T_T
Phew. It was very busy five days (since I was working from day zero) but it was really nice experience. I'm glad I get to meet most of the people I was planning to meet, even if it was for a split second.
Attending to Inoue-san was very nice experience, too. He was a really nice guy to hang out, and since he's interested in American manga/anime/game culture a lot, he mostly stayed in AX (whereas other guests usually went elsewhere for their sightseeing), so I got to enjoy many part of the con. I went to…
He said he liked AX and even comparing with its Japanese equivalents (ie. comiket), American one was more organized and people were nice.
I got to know some of TOEI people, too, and the funny thing is, I met them again a day after when I went to watch Transformers again with my gf and her friend xD; They let me cut the line DDD: (And I intro'd myself as ocean this time -__-; One of them knew me.)
Some thing I regret would be... I didn't do really good job interpreting when Inoue-san had interview with magazines/etc, especially the VIZ one >_< Oh well, VIZ said they have their own transer so it's okay. The VIZ person said the interview would be in Shonen Jump magazine (American issue), so keep eye on it (and tell me when the interview is on the magazine, so I'll go buy it, too!)
And also I lacked major time hanging out w/ friends. Unless someone I really like is coming next year, I ... probably won't interpreting next year ^^;;
Again, it was nice meeting you guys ^^b (It was weird/awkward when some of you tried to shake my hand instead Inoue-san's ^^;; )
GAh you have to come next year Ocean it was hanging out for those few mins :D and yea Inoue-San was a Very Nice guy when I got him to sign my OP Yellow book :3
Wow, so Viz really is going to make an announcement about the new dub as well. It had already been a few months since all this was first reported and I don't think they've said so much as a word about it yet. Thanks so much for that bit of info ocean.
Deleted some post but heh.
King, it won't be anything about dub thing. The questions were more about general stuff such like how Inoue-san became anime director, what's his favorite scene, etc.
Oh, then I guess it's the same as that interview with Oda they did recently. I thought they might have talked to him a little about the manga's 10th anniversary but they just asked him a few general questions. Thanks for clearing that up.
Yeah it was a bummer you were so busy that I didn't get to hang out with you much ocean :sad:
I wonder, did Inoue-san say anything noteworthy to you about what he thought of One Piece in America, or the fans?

…..I will say this: it was probably interesting to have the Nami bust question brought up at two different panels by two different people (though I only caught the tail end of the second one).
That first Robin is not only gorgeous, but she has the anatomy down no problem. XD
Maybe the chest, but definitely not the waist (though, that pose is good at hiding it).
Sounds like you guys had lots o' fun. Wish I could have gone, but living in London makes it a tad bit harder to visit.
Feel free to add more pics :)
