Conventions!

If you're at Anime Central this year please come to the guest table area in front of the main exhibit hall and meet Rhea Silvan. She's our guest from Indonesia. This is her first time in the USA. Please make her feel as welcome as Dany&Dany did last year. Rhea is the artist of Winter Demon 4 (among other titles) as well as a professional model and spokeswoman. She has that lovely Winter Demon Doujin to autograph for you. I will be there also (Yamila Abraham) to put on a great yaoi program for the fans, and sign Dark Prince and Winter Demon graphic novels. We'd love to meet you all!

Animeland Vegas was great fun, and I'm glad they're still coming back next year even with all the heartache they had trying to pull this year's show together. It was an intimate and friendly crowd. I got a lot of quality time with my buddy/fellow guest Jan Frasier. It's amazing to me that they were able to pull off such a good show even when they lost their venue just days before the weekend. Kudos to them!

I want to say to my Vegas pals, even if you were wary this year I hope you'll give them a chance next year. Las Vegas had an anime show scam them in 2007, so there was much suspicion for this new show. Now that they've proven themselves legitimate it's time for Vegas to embrace this new annual anime event. They need more locals to get involved. Even if you were one of the naysayers this year please try to shrug it off. They're not holding grudges. The con chair and vice chair are about as sweet and cuddly as you can get. They love anime. You love anime. Please give this show a chance in 2010.
