DISCLAIMER

just a note before anyone gets there hopes up I don't know if the Anime-Pulse guys are going to make the meet up. I have not talked to them about it but I will try my hardest to make them come. I will spam there email, and at AX if need be I will hunt them down and tie them up and bring them to the meet up and I am a fangirl so I tie really good knots but I hope everyone who can come will. I am also hoping to get some video to post on the site as well.

Anime Expo 2008 meet up

So the largest Anime Convention in the U.S is in 6 days. There will be a meet up. The place listed above is a starting area when everyone gets there then we will find a different area to sit and meet everyone and hopefully Ichigo and Batou will be there if they don't flack. So I will be bring tons of goodies so I need a head count so if your going to the con please post in the comment area!!!

Someone did some Research, eh?

Markus wolfe did some research of his own in terms of upcoming conventions, and put together a list of all the Canadian anime cons taking place through the rest of the summer.

Check out his list here if you're wondering about any of those:
