I'll be going to it(won't going to the dealer's room much since I won't have much to spend), and I'll be entering a new delux version of my first AMV "Yong, Dumb, and Cromartie" in the fan video contest. I'll upload the delux version after the convention.

I'll be there with my crew. Its my first animeFEST and my first smaller con I'm going to. After going to cons like A-Kon and AWA I'm curious as to how the atmosphere compares with one a third of the size.

I wish I could go, I miss all the cons now that I don't live in Dallas anymore...

Not since 2004, when I first went (and volunteered), have they had a seriously kick-ass line up of guests and voice actors. It's a nice con but I may not go again unless they make it worth my time.

Bad News: Monkey Punch(creator of Lupin the 3rd) had to cancel his appearance(and I really wanted to meet him too.

). It'll still be a lot of fun though.

I wish I could, but I don't got the money or the skills to make a costume.
