LMAO!!!

Same here Erin!
:rollin

I actually had to go out to the souvenir shop next door and BUY a fleece
hoodie I was so damn cold.

Olivia, Brian, and Joe can attest! I had to wear my Kiba hoodie
at the Rubberslug fest because I was so cold and only brought
sleeveless apparel for going out since I was told the weather was
comparable to Florida's.
yea right :tongue :cucu
I can't promise it will be like Florida since we do not have the humidity but I can state with certainty it will be much warmer that where you are living currently Marie :nya:

LA in the summertime is no fun at all. Add to that the pollution, and you better bring some allergy meds and eyedrops if you are sensitive to that stuff.

I'' definitely be trying to go. Like the sentiments of others, the LA convention center is not a picturesque site. It is larger, but the surroundings do not have much going for them. Hopefully, I'll have my cosplay done before then.

Some good info in this forum from one of those who are to be involved with the planning of this years AX.
http://forums.anime-expo.org/index.php?showtopic=7142

Seems hopeful that a 24hr shuttle service simular to Comic-con between the convention center and hotels as well as additional security may be in the works.

I most likely won't go this year. I really want to go to Comic-con, and I would rather do one con and have enough money rather than do both and scrape by.

hey everyone,
I'll be there this year...and definately try booking rooms with the anime expo name, there is a huge discount -_- I think I'm paying $130 for a room per night. I''ll be there early and later due to set up for dealers 7/1 -7/7 come stop by our booth! although there won't be any cels =( we enter all conventions as "Anime Stuff Store" seems that it is easier to remember than Purple Plum. Look forward to meeting everyone =)

Is any one crazy enough to tackle the logistical nightmare that will be Slugfest LA?

Is someone already planning it and I just missed it somewhere?

If enough would be interested , I will look into the cost of hiring a shuttle bus to take those that would want to attend the dinner then back to convention center & hotels.
Looks like its been taken care of!! :)

Well, it's a no go for AX and Comic-con. I've got a friend who has a car she wants to sell, so I will be spending my summer saving money and getting my driver's license. It'll be nice to be able to drive again.
