Between my personal experiences at the show, and 
in speaking with a few other friends at the show 
there is a wide range of feelings about the 
show.  Some people had a great time and got some 
stuff that they're really happy with.  Other 
peoples were ready to go postal at some of the AX 
staff for the way the autographs/panels were 
handled.

The first few days there were some nice cels 
floating around, Rick (anime link) had a lot of 
really nice Vampire Hunter D cels for sale (among 
other things ^^;;). There was one table that had 
a bunch of Vampire Princess Miyu oversized/pan 
cels for sale really cheap, but those all sold 
the first day.  I picked up a really pretty 
vertical pan of Miyu w/background for $80 :)

Probably the highlight of the show for me was 
going to the open autograph session where I got 
to talk to Kawamoto and have him sign one of my 
Golden Boy cels, when he saw some of my Golden 
Boy gengas he started laughing.  The translator 
told me it reminded him of "some good old times", 
and that he personally drew 2 of the 3 gengas 
(from Golden Boy) that I had.  I was really 
bummed that I didn't get any sketches at the show 
through their "system", but felt instantly picked 
up as when Kawamoto told me that he drew those 
gengas it was just like I'd gotten 2 sketches :)

Cheers,
