Long Beach aint that bad well I guess I never stayed at night. Could be worse you can be in South Central at night and better chance of getting Robbed/Shot here.
@e1n:
this year's AX is in long beach. DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT WALK AROUND AT NIGHT ALONE. the gangs BLOOD and CRIB are from the neighborhood. should you need to go back to the hotel late, walk with a bunch of people.
i went to LB once at night. oh man, i see people getting arrested and cops everywhere. >_>;
Uhhhhh not quite. It depends on the specific area of LB. Some areas are fine. It's never a good idea to walk around alone at night in a big city anyway though. Areas to avoid. I can relate about 7th Street D: Freaky. It seems that the convention center is along the coast, which is the nicer part of the city.
I remember when AX was in Long Beach a few years back, I didn't go, though.
Cosmic, she fears cosplayers because… I guess it's too otaku-ish? >.> And they're crazy.
Oh yes, you know know those cosplayers, they'll rip your head right off, those loonies. XD
I don't think the owners of the conveniton would decide to hold it somewhere that was dangerous.
What's the One Piece photo session?
Cosmic, she fears cosplayers
Well AX is almost here in like 93 days haha. Gonna be nice in Long Beach <3
We got to schedule an official Arlong Park meet up.
Anyone know of any special guests yet?
Nah no one know's the the GUest yet :< I'll keep looking at the AX Boards to see if they annouced it.
Well Im glad that my Zoro Water 7 CLothing is almost done :3

Any clues you can give us about what you’ll be doing to promote the series?
HEISKELL: Expect big things from FUNimation and Toei Animation at this year’s Anime Expo!
So, who else's coming to Anime Expo this year? Hmm?
eggy and i will be at the artist alley.
Can't wait to see what funimation has to unveal. That's the best news I've heard all day. It almost makes up for this crappy week I've been having.
I'll be there all 5 days. Counting Day Zero :3
Btw, OP cosplay group at AX: http://forums.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=92388
Damn someone else is doing a Water 7 Zoro like me >> I might be outclassed X3
Just go join them. It'd be fun ^^
I will than :3 So we gonna have a Arlong Park Meet?
Hopefully. Otherwise, we can just bother e1n and Eggy's table. … >.>
I'm definitely going!
Wish I could get a cosplay together quickly. Maybe. A young friend of mine is coming over from Catalina and might be cosplaying as Nami (I got her into OP hehe)
Hopefully. Otherwise, we can just bother e1n and Eggy's table. … >.>
I want to see if eggy tastes like real eggs.
Which version of Nami will she be cosplaying, Cosmic?
Are you gonna lick Eggy? Are we expecting real life yaoi here? I think e1n'll be happy. … maybe.
If he enjoys vore, then yes, he'll be happy with what I do to eggy.
@Pass:
Which version of Nami will she be cosplaying, Cosmic?
The one where she first appears, with the black bandana.
She might not be Nami though, she was thinking of a different character also.
"ORESKABAND joins Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Anime Expo 2007 Official Guests of Honor."
I always wanted to hear this band play :3 Glad they are coming to AX.
I will be heading back to AX this year for the first time since AX Disney, and as per usual I will be working so it's highly unlikely that I'll see much of the actual convention itself. Not that I really care, and to be honest I actually even prefer it that way. I don't really know what to do at a convention if/when I'm not working, as was amply proven by last weekend's Sakura-Con.
In any case, here's a pre-emptive "hallo, fellow Arlong Parkers!" to all of the people who plan on attending that I won't realise I'm seeing.
~ jj ~
where exactly are ya gonna work at jj?
In the Exhibition Hall, both as a member of the AX Exhibition Staff and as a vendor. So I'll be in the Exhibition Hall pretty much, well, for the duration. Fun times.
I actually wasn't planning on doing this, but considering the changes in my own home convention I felt that it was a good idea to get some more experience working with AX's Exhibitions Department Head before next year's Sakura-Con. I've worked with her before, of course, and I've spent a good amount of time just talking with her, but I think that actually working as part of her baseline staff at AX will be a good way to see how she really works outside of just an advising position, which will help me for my home convention next year. Hence the reason why I finally decided to actually go to AX this year, for the first time since AX 2000.
I admit that it'll be weird going back to AX after so long, doubly so since I'm pretty sure that it's not a twenty-four hour convention. But it'll be fun being able to work as staff but not as ConCom again; I haven't done anything like that in ages.
~ jj ~
XD AX is 24 Hour Convetion in and out the Convention. The stories of last years were crazy X3
So you go to the AX Forums too jj? and maybeI will see ya there since I gonna buy lots of OP/Sgt Frog/etc :3
ORESKABAND?!! :D

Hopes she does do Nami. I can dress up in my Brooke outfit and ask to see her panties. :P
I would sock you if you did, she's only 15. :P

Is it really? It doesn't claim to have twenty-four hour programming on its website and it wasn't twenty-four hours the last time I was there, though that was admittedly a bloody long time ago…
Not that it matters much to me. As bizarre as it sounds, I don't really know what to do at a convention when/if I'm not working. Besides, I'm actually expecting my entire weekend to be full of work for both AX 2oo7 and Sakura 2oo8, since that's the only reason why I'm even going.
So you go to the AX Forums too jj?
I actually don't, though I really should. But I don't even go to the Sakura-Con forums, and that's my home convention! I dunno; I'm just not a big "convention forum" person even though I really should be, all things considering. :happy:;;

Well it aint 24 Hours but people do party at night and the arcade never really closes.
Just Roun around the convetion on yor free time go see the gatherings like the One Piece and Naruto one's. Or come with me to the DOAX gathering <3
Also on the forum's someone decided to make a Cosplay Chess which im taking part but I wanted to be a Knight not a Pwn XP Zoro should be a Knight X3. Random People would be making us move haha.
/me pokes e1n and Eggy.
You guys should make StrawHat flag or something to put behind your table xD

Yeah, I expected that much because that's usually how it goes. But as of now, I'm not even sure what my schedule is. I'll be better prepared to say what's what after I get my itinerary and schedule all sorted, then I'll know what free time I actually do have, let alone how I can use it. As it stands, though, with AX being a daily convention I figure that outside of a few meetings and promised dinners most of my evening hours should be free. Maybe I could get some sleep; that'll be a nice change of pace!

Eah, I'm not a Naruto person really, or a DOA person, but thanks for the suggestions either way! I'll probably wander around some in my off hours, and maybe I'll see someone I know. I'm not local to AX but there are quite a few people that I know who plan on being there, so I'm not worried about being completely bored out of my mind during the convention's closed hours.

haha wait state are you coming from? and AX this year is gonna be in Long Beach and gonna be near the beach which I like <3
No dont sleep haha AX no one really sleeps from my past visits there :3
Heh, that's true enough though I try to get at least a total of eight hours of sleep during a 24-hour, three day convention. But for AX I don't know what my schedule will be like, so who knows? I know that I got some sleep the last time I was there, but again I was working – albeit not for AX staff – so that was why. Really, it mostly depends on how busy my nights will be after programming shuts down and whether or not anyone else I know outside of staff and/or vendors will be there.
haha wait state are you coming from?
I'm local for Sakura-Con, so Washington State. The Puget Sound region to be exact. I'll be flying down the day before AX this year, though my departure itinerary is still up in the air. A lot of it will depend on my hotel arrangements, though I'll likely be flying out the day after the convention even if the SPJA can't cover me for that extra night at the hotel. I dunno yet, but, because I still need to get all of that worked out. It's okay though, because I've still got a few months left, right? Right?
AX this year is gonna be in Long Beach and gonna be near the beach which I like <3
I actually cannot believe that AX has to be back at Long Beach again this year. They're totally going to have to max cap convention attendance at that venue, as well as every other future convention they hold there until they can go back to their larger venue. Given AX's rate of growth that could be problematic – capping attendance is always a right pain in the arse – though it's hard to say just what AX's numbers will be this year. Last year's numbers may be misleading because CLAMP was there, so there is a genuine possibility that there won't be much growth this year when compared to last year. If that's the case then an attendance cap won't be that much of an issue, because I think that the convention centre at Long Beach has a maximum capacity of 50,000 or something, which could comfortably accomodate last year's attendance numbers without a problem.
Of course, I'm just talking a bunch of nothing right now. I'm not AX ConCom or anything, so don't listen to anything I say as gospel.

Anaheim, California (April 23, 2007) — “The human whose name is written in this note shall die.” Famed director Tetsuro Araki and character designer Masaru Kitao announce their attendance at Anime Expo 2007 as Official Guests of Honor. In addition, Anime Expo has also obtained the rights to screen the blockbuster films, starring Tatsuya Fujiwara, from Japan DEATH NOTE (123 minutes) and DEATH NOTE: THE LAST NAME (140 minutes) on 35 mm print at the highly anticipated 2007 convention June 29-July 2 at the Long Beach Convention Center.
