advice: Don't insult potential buyers by pronouncing it "main-ga". It's "mahn-guh". just a friendly precaution.

I will say this... having never been to an anime con, I was bracing myself for a freakshow. What I found was a geniunely nice, fun-loving, smiling group of fans. This is in direct opposition to the 95% male, cynical mouth-breathers at comic cons. I'm still not what I could call a fan of manga, no matter how it's pronounced. But I am certainly a fan of its fans.

I think that might be the korean version, Jer.


well, anything particularly amazing happen?

Amazing? Not really. I mean, I didn't go to any of the events or anything, since I was mainly working the table. I was imrpessed with the costuming- some of it weird, some beautiful, some amazing looking in the sheer detail of it. Very little of it was trashy. The artist next to us gave me a color print of Harley Quinn that was really cool. I'm a sucker for Harley. Tom got his picture taken next to a giant plaintain- he should have it on his blog soon. Apparantly these guys have battles n stuff, like Giant Roll of Toilet Paper vs Giant Can of Chicken Soup.
