On the left is where we spent the day - the SPJA Anime Expo at the Anaheim Hilton/Convention Center. It's a neat hotel with huge rooms set up for viewing Anime. It was also VERY cold. About halfway through the day we had to go out to the car and get a blanket so we wouldn't freeze to death watching our favorite Anime.

This is one of the many cool costumes that people wear.
People who are really into Anime dress up like their favorite characters. Tomorrow
there will be the "Masquerade" where all the costumed people will compete for
prizes. We are going to try to get in, as seating is limited.

One of the cool things at the Expo is the "Artist Alley," near the dealer room (more about that tomorrow). There a a bunch of aspiring Anime and Magna (comic book but more adult) artists. You can buy some awesome sketches and paintings and posters of your favorite characters. There are even caricature artists who will sketch you as an Anime character. |
