It’s Stardriver…

So what else is going on this weekend? :stuck_out_tongue:

In the Dealer’s Room, working at the Section23 booth. Just look for the Angel Beats banner!

Wish I could be there and hope you enjoy Seattle. :slight_smile:

Day 1 complete. On to day two!

(Now with more Dr. Scholl’s. Auugh my little feetsies!)

Looks like a pretty good list. Like normal I will be there. Any Seattle peeps, it will be March 29-31
I will actually be volunteering at this one.

First time to do that.

Anyhow.

Hmmm, the guest list doesn’t look too spectacular yet IMO. I’m still holding out a thin hope that they’ll release some more “last minute” guests that fit in with the SAO & F/Z premieres.

I believe they are at the end of the list. If your not looking to see any of thse peeps, they your not going to want to make this one.
I want to see Toshihiro Kawamoto and Stephanie Sheh, but then again I am a Eureka 7 fan. So, if that is not your cup of tea I totally understand.

I can’t say that’s a very inspiring list, all things considered (especially for what is the Pacific NW’s most renown con). Thanks to Otakon (and Bandai, sad face :frowning: ) I’ve met Stephanie Sheh (and all her many aliases) quite a number of times.

Something must have happened as last year’s guest list annihilates this year’s on both quantity & “quality”.

I will probably check out the gal that did the end song credits for Sword art Online, Gundam Unicorn ep 6 premier and just go to industry and odd tucked out of the way late night panels.

But, honestly I never go just for the main guests. I go to check out all the outfits, merch and general goofiness. If the people are to big it is almost to hard to check em out.

I have never regretted going since I started. I guess this time I might be? :wink:
