A chance remark alerted me to the fact that, since I'm going to be in the DC area for one or two nights a week starting later this month (to teach a course on folklore and anime at George Mason), I'll be able to attend Katsucon (Washington DC, Feb. 17-19) this year. Is anyone else going? Does anyone want to set up an informal meeting of cel/sketch collectors?
Best part of it: Lent comes late this year, and there's a chance I'll get my first royalty check for Il Grande Libro del Diavolo before I go!
I'll be there. Have to figure if I want a weekend pass or just Saturday.

Yeesh, you're going to be traveling back and forth to Fairfax...WEEKLY?!?! Good luck with that alone!
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

A college professor's gotta do what a college professor's gotta due. As I told one of my colleagues who asked the same question, "When am I ever going to get the chance to teach a course like this ever again in my life?" Carpe diem.
Besides, I have some friends in the area who will put me up for a night, and let me poke through their manga/anime collections.
I don't know for sure just yet. It's possible I'll be in Asia at that time, but I think I'm going to be back in town just in time. If so, and I can get a cheap ticket, I'm going to try to make it. ^_^;
