Since I live so close to the location, I may be 
able to bring most of my rapidly dwindling 
collection to the convention this time.

For some reason or another, last year's cel 
gathering wasn't as electric as the previous 
year's ... most of the people I personally knew 
or met online weren't able to show up last year.

I hope to meet some new and great folks this 
year as well as old friends too.

(And I hope AX really steps up to the plate this 
time and rolls out a real knock-out guest list 
for the convention.  There were a few big names 
last year, but the guest list overall didn't 
really stand out when compared to a few other 
conventions last year.)
