Either someone else is choosen for the job or they just don't think I'm cut out for the position. I'm in Albuquerque, NM. We're known for not having many jobs open.
But to get off topic, I like your avatar.

And to get on that off-topic topic, nice joke BeansDooma.

Hey, this has nothing to do with Anime Expo but it seems appropriate enough. This week in Little Tokyo is the Japanese Film Festival and I'm gonna go on Saturday with my friends, they'll even be showing "Episode of Alabasta" that day. The next Saturday at the Imaginasian theater they'll be showing the first English dub episodes of "Code Geass" and "Lucky Star" at 1:00. Would any of you guys wanna meet up there?
-
oh yeah they are. i am sooooo going. hey awb maybe me and you can meet up?

Wait who's they? Is there another thread for this?
-
He probably meant "those films" by "they"?
"Episode of Alabasta" was something I wanted to watch… I hope you guys will enjoy it!

I don't know if I want to see it (especially since I've already seen it more than enough times and it doesn't get better), you get three movies for 20 bucks and it depends on what I want to see most. I definitely want to see the CG movie about the big cat.
-
Argh AX Is coming Closer! Who already bought thier passes? I'm getting My pass and Ho's Pass this week.
-
I'm debating on getting the pre-reg badge. I might just test my luck at finagling a free one, like last year.
Aside from the badge, everything seems to be in order. The rental car & hotel reservations are all set and everyone staying with me has been confirmed.
Now, we just have to play the waiting game.
-
I might have to wait a tad bit longer to get my pass. I have to pay my Fall enrollment fees today or tommorow. Here's hoping it didn't get raised by a healthy amount x_X.
-
Here's to eating epic curry at one point or another during AX.
@ Bushido: I'd get the pre-reg badge; that's just me though. I'd hate to see me laughing at you if you weren't able to get in. At least try to to finagle the badge with any possible connections you that you know of ASAP.
-
You can still buy badges at the Con. They never sell out. Well not that I head of haha.
-
I'd just get it, too, since you can just get a refund if you don't use them. There's a deadline though: http://www.anime-expo.org/registration/badge-info/refunds/
Or buy it before June 1 when the price goes up.
-
Well, since my enrollment fees went up 200 bucks I fanangled my mom into paying my share of a hotel room. Which is nice of her :p.

I'm not gonna buy any pass until I get a good idea of the public transportation in the area, and I haven't started my research.
-
What kind of Info you need about the area?
-

Not about the area per say, just the public transportation, like the routes and lines and such.

you should try checking out
Also anyone gonna buy certain merchandise at AX? I'm looking forward to get the Dragon Ball Box Set/Manga,Keroro Gunso Merch and One Piece POP.
-
YAY!!!no summer school for me!!!My parents forgot to sign me up >:D and ill probably buy my pass like…....near the end of may cause of my b-day :D.

Moar One Piece shirts would be neat, and if I can even snag a Keroro shirt, then that'll make my day during AX.

meh, I might as well get the pre-reg badge. I can score a Level 4 security card once I get in the place.
-
I'm probably going to get my badge later this month, after my next paycheck.
Hopefully, they'll have all the OP POPs releasing this summer. If I wanna go to AX, I may have to cancel all my orders on HLJ.com.

Possibly the Gurren Lagann figure that comes with a 1:1 scale Core Drill necklace, Beck dvd 1 w/ artbox (then buy the rest online), any OP merch that strikes my fancy, and most likely the Hylian Shield + Master Sword replicas that I saw last year if they still have them.
edit–
t Bee's Wing: I'm doubting that the Sogeking and Robin P.O.P.s will be available to purchase at AX. The May+June releases and re-releases are fair game though. -
True. I'll probably cancel my orders for Shanks, Sanji and the kids on HLJ.com if I have to then :p.

If you're going to get them at the con, I'd suggest you pick them up first day. Not necessarily the first place you see them. Look around to see who has the best prices, then pick them up at the best deal you can get. The year that Nami ver. 2, Smoker, and Bellemere were released, I picked up Nami at AX first day at the cheapest price I could get. That store sold out the next day, but I could still find her at other booths at a higher price. Most of the P.O.P.s sold out that year or were too overpriced (i.e. 1st released Sanji and Robin for $130+ each).
-
Yeah. I'll probably be able to find them for close to the amount I'd need to pay with shipping. And what I can't find or buy, I'll just save up and score off E-bay.
Shanks and Sanji come first, the kids are going to have to be afterthoughts after Shanks, Sanji and various doujinshi. And quite possibly after the Hitman Reborn PVC I may also get. Though I might still order that alone from HLJ. That way, I'll only pay fifty dollars at the end of this month instead of at least one hundred. That's a whole tank of gas for me.
-
I have an assignment for all of you attending with a camera.
A friend of a member here will be cosplaying as Caimie. Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to find this person and take as many photos of her as possible.
-
^ RAWR ILL TRY!!!!! :D and im probably going with my cousins and they're probably gonna be going around everywhere XD!!!
-

OH MY GOD!! Toshihiko Seki!!! dies I've always loved his voice work~ <333 Though if it was Yamaguchi Kappei, Tomokazu Seki or Takehito Koyasu, I'd fucking go no matter what, even if I had to drag Charli and Brandee with me XD
Though sadly, I'll have to pass it up this year too =(
-
Bump.
AX is coming up pretty soon. Is everyone ready for it? :D
Sadly, I won't be going to AX this year. I was debating it until like last week (I mean, having free stay but don't have to work during con = win), but yeah… Hope you guys will enjoy it. Take lots of pictures for me!
-
Aww that sucks Ocean D: I was hoping to hang with ya again.
and AX is in 2 weeks lol
-
Well I have to ask for some days off at work before I tell you guys my plans for AX, but I'll let you know soon.
-
For those going to AX this year, AKSYS will have BlazBlue for test playing.
-
I'll be going for the first time ever, and I'm not planning to cosplay, but I wanted to at least show my support for One Piece by having a straw hat.
However, it seems like the some of the simplest things are the hardest to find. I asked my friend to look around for me in Chinatown, but I doubt she found any.
Do they sell it in Joanne's; anyone know other places? -

Do they sell it in Joanne's; anyone know other places?Sadly, no. Welcome to my conundrum. I have a Luffy hat size medium, but MY head is for an XL hat (let my cousin use it). It's really hard to find an open crown bowler-type straw hat that's perfect. I've been looking for a few years, and I think I finally found a site that might have something useful. I just need to get a price quote on a regular one. I'll let you know once I find out.
edit-
Forgot to mention that they're wholesale, so that's why I need the price quote. -
I think Kinokuniya in little tokyo has the Straw Hat but I am not sure if they have it any more.

But yeah, if something comes up, I'll be happy to hear from you (:I think Kinokuniya in little tokyo has the Straw Hat but I am not sure if they have it any more.
I went there a month or two ago, but unfortuanately, no straw hat. xP

I'm tired of waking up super early just to wait in line for a few hours to get my badge. Anyone going on Wednesday for badge pick-up?

-

Don't worry about it. I'm heading there to pick up some other peoples' badges as well. We can have a pre-queue queue! Or at least grab some dinner after.
-
Awesome I am sure Bushido and gang might be there too. Im going with a group of SSBB cosplayer's to go eat at Day Zero Want to come?
-
I'll talk it over with my friend who's coming with me, but I'm almost certain that we should be able to go. As long as I don't pull a Zoro and get lost.
-
haha awesome man. Call me when ya get there.
-
Awesome I am sure Bushido and gang might be there too.
Well, we're leaving Houston around 10pm on Monday, so we should be in the LA area around 7pm on Wednesday.
I'm not sure how late AX plans on keeping reg open on Wednesday, since they tend to do things differently from most other conventions. Most conventions keep their registration booths open until 10pm the day before, for pre-reg badges only. I'm hoping for something similar.
-
Pre-Reg line open from 3pm - 8pm
If anything I can try to see if I can pick up your badges.

If you forward Toshiya a copy of your registration e-mail along w/ a copy of an ID, he should be able to pick it up for you.
