Well, I'm still helping the boyfriend settle in 
after his move, so we are both too broke to 
attend. 

*teeny, tiny smothered sob for not having first 
crack at Usagi's House/Anime Link tables like 
last year* 

And to kind of answer Nikki's question - AX is 
not a bad con. On the contrary, it's like a huge 
circus. It's noisy and crowded and overwhelms 
the senses (especially if you have a sensitive 
nose...hee). It can be a little disorganized, 
but what con isn't? AX has the most money so 
they can afford to bring great guests. 
California rocks (even though it's bloody 
expensive) and most of the people you meet are 
terrific! 

I think everyone should go once, just for the 
experience. Unless you are phobic about crowds. 
Or bad smells. *grin*
