I picked up some friends before we headed for Anthony C. Beilenson Park in Van Nuys.  Beginning in 2009, Hetalia fans made United Nations Day  Hetalia Day, but due to October 24 being a weekday in 2012, we had it on Saturday, October 20.  It sprinkled on and off, and the sun refuse...

Anime Expo (AX) 2012 began at the end of June this year instead of July probably due to the calendar, so the 4th of July wasn't included in any of the days.  This year, they also held the X-Games in the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) area, so it was chaos. ____________________ Day 1 -&...

I couldn't sleep so I got up and got on the computer for awhile before putting on my Taiwan costume and heading for Little Tokyo at downtown Los Angeles.  Our group, Hetalians United,  was holding a gathering there on Saturday, September 8, 2012. We moved around quite a bit, but was mos...

I didn't hear about Anime, Manga, and Music to a Higher Power (AM2) at the Anaheim Convention Center (ACC) in 2011 until it was too late.  What's worse was that it conflicted with Anime Expo (AX).  Fortunately, AM2 2012 took place in the middle of June instead of the end or in July. &nb...

NOTE: I know this is way too overdue, but I've been busy and unable to write about it. Since WonderCon 2012 was held at the Anaheim Convention Center (ACC) instead of Northern CA, I decided to check it out.  Due to it being run by the same company as Comic-Con International, I was a little&h...

NOTE: I know this is way overdue, but I've just haven't had time to write about it.  I had also forgotten to post it here a few months ago. After hearing and reading about Anime Los Angeles (ALA), my interest grew, but the thought of the expensive gas, parking, and admission prices was ...

 There have been things I've wanted to mention, but haven't gotten around to them.  Sorry if it's wrong to mention things that are so out-of-date.  That was one thing that has made me put off posting entries, comments, and replies: fear of you and others being mad at me for writing...

I can't believe that it's the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, U.S. Capitol, and Pentagon.  I remember waking up on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, and hearing about terrorists hijacking planes and crashing them into the twin towers.  I was shocked and c...

Due to my laziness and irresponsibility, I ended up with a rushed schedule and missing some planned events at Anime Expo (AX) 2011.  I guess I was afraid of getting headaches and dizziness from lack of sleep again.  I had faced some interferences as well. -------------------------------...

The four days at Anime Expo 2009 sure flew by fast, but I'm not sure if it would be better if the event lasted longer.  Last year's experience played quite a role in my decisions and actions this year.  For example, I brought  a bigger tote bag to be able to fit in the AX book...
