Whew finally have enough time to sit down and write it out.
First off, I’d like to say that it was a lot of fun! Possibly more fun than the first year I went? I dunno! I’d say yes though, because I was less shy and felt more…Natural I guess? The first year was the very first time I’d flown anywhere by myself, much less to just go hang out with friends somewhere. This time around it wasn’t nearly as much as a hassle.
Staying with my friend LJ and his friends was fun too! When we were walking around at the Expo we were hanging out at his friend’s apartment, either playing games or watching something goofy on TV (Pingu!
). Also, I’m tired of Denny’s breakfasts. XD But they were the cheapest things on the menu, lol.
I got to meet more famous people this time around too! I met Kyle Hebert multiple times, and got his signature too! For those who don’t know, he was the English voice of Kamina in Gurren Lagann, and he’s done voice acting for quite a few things, including Ryu in Street Fighter IV. He was seriously just walking around the Exhibitor’s hall like anyone else, it was awesome. XD I also got to meet Steve Blum! Now he’s awesome, and his voice is so easily recognizeable. He played Spike from Cowboy Bebop, and Roger Smith from Big O! I think its funny that he -always- sounds like that too. That’s like his normal voice. XD I got a poster signed by him, he wrote “Finally we meet!” on it, it was awesome.
I also took like 20 pictures of him while we were gettting things signed. XD It was great.
Gosh, so much happened, I’ll just list some things:
-Eating pocky
-Eating more pocky
-”What’s a Hi-chew?”
-LineCon 2010
-”…Where did you get that pocky from?”
“…I dunno! D: *munch*”
-Meeting LittleKuriboh (I’m gonna upload a clip of his voice acting on Youtube soon!)
-Nuk nuk!
-Watching Swedish children’s TV shows until 2 in the morning
-I’m still the master at Tetris. :\
-Taking embarrassing pictures by accident (and then getting teased about them)
-Giant hamburgers! And eating two of them and wondering why I thought that was a good idea
-GURREN LAGANN. Nuff said.
-Having my heart broken by a Simon jacket that was actually in my size. ![]()
-I can find anything. Its a proven fact. Just so long as -I- didn’t lose it anyway.
-Love and peace! ![]()
-Eureka 7 movie (giant black Domo doll!)
Oh, that’s right! I also met LittleKuriboh, of Yugioh: The Abridged Series fame! And had him do a bit of voice acting for me. XD Video ahoy!
Man, he was great. XD And he could switch between all the voices so easily too, I was thoroughly impressed. Marik and Bakura are still my favorites though! Tristan’s pretty high up there too, lol.
Next up was something that happened on a bus ride from a hotel! They had buses that ferried people all over the place, and they were much better to take because you wouldn’t be walking in the BURNING HOT SUN looking for a HOTEL in the WRONG PLACE! Geez LJ.
People just randomly burst into song! And I had no idea the zoom on my camera made that much noise. XD
Anyway! I’ll try to get the, uh…318 pictures I took? Yeah. I’ll try to sort through those still and get some of them posted up somewhere for you all to see!
It was a fun trip, but its good to be back.

It looks like it was a great experience. I haven’t hear the english dub of those anime (just the japanese) but I suppose that meet a guy that talk like some of your favorite characters would be nice.

He’s actually an “Internet Personality” that does a mocking ‘Abridged’ version of the American release of animes, and he does all the voices himself, to my knowledge. Not a professional voice actor hired to do the show!

lol. I know about the bus thing. At my first anime con, I was on the bus, and everybody started singing the pokemon theme song.
Sounds like you had tons of fun! It all sounds so exciting.

If I was the bus driver my thoughts would probably be “Too… much… GEEKINESS!!!” and then throw myself out the window. LOL. We all have our fancies.
