Welcome to San Diego! This is where all the fun happens, the San Diego Convention Center. |
|
|
|
 |
James posing with an Anime Reactor business card and the Gundam at the Bandai Booth. |
|
|
|
 |
It's the Kinokuniya Bookstore booth, complete with all sorts of manga, art books and models. |
|
|
|
 |
A close up of some of the piles of mecha models that were on display at the Kino booth. |
|
|
|
 |
It's Bandai's booth with the Gundam suit and the PLEX table, home of Aoki's Angel's Wing series. |
|
|
|
 |
It's Sam and an uber-kawaii moment here, hugging the overly-life sized Pikachu. |
|
|
|
 |
The Exhibit Hall is always insane. This year there were over 70,000 people at the con. |
|
|
|
 |
It's the Pioneer Entertainment booh, complete with their trademark Plasma screens and high tech-ery. |
|
|
|
 |
It's our humble Editor sitting on the top level of a European double decker bus heading to the con. |
|

|
 |
James.
Stylin' and chillin'.
'Nuff said. |
|
|
|
 |
There are quite a few sites on the way to the con. This is San Diego Bay and the Star of India. |
|
|
|
 |
Getting close to the convention center. All we have is one more traffic light... Just one more! :) |
|
|
|
 |
It's more exhibit hall madness! By Saturday, you could barely walk in locations around the anime stuff. |
|
|
|
 |
It's the Tokyopop booth. Manga! Is that a finger and a thumb in the shape of an "L" on his forehead? |
|
|
|
 |
James gives the con and sitting down away from the heat and the mass of humanity two thumbs up! |
|
|
|
 |
Even at a "comic book" convention, you still can't get away from anime cosplayers! |
|
|
|
 |
Ah, it's the PLEX table again, showing off a teaser to the anime version of Angel's Wing. |
|
|
|
 |
This time it's an open top double decker bus. It's Sam and I just enjoying the ride. |
|
|
|
 |
We all get tired and need to rest sometime. Here the gang takes a pit stop at the Marriott next door. |
|
|
|
 |
Wanna get phylosophical anyone? James will give you an opinion when he gets some rest. |
|
|
|
 |
What a comic convention without comics? Here Sam is reading Paradise Kiss from Tokyopop. |
|
|
|
 |
And what's a convention without good cheap food and drinks? It's the Kansas City BBQ! |
|
|
|
 |
KC BBQ is the location where they filmed the bar scene from the movie Top Gun. MAAAVERICKKKK! |
|
|
|
 |
What good is going to the Top Gun bar without some cheap beer? Dunno. I'm the designated driver. |
