I don't know what else to say except that I'm going to be at Anime Weekend Atlanta from 9/19-9/20 and I'm currently going out of my mind getting ready. I'll be participating in at least 4 panels and lord knows what else will go down in that part of town.
I really think this is the best anime con in the US for so many reasons and I can't wait to hang with Dave Merrill, Carl Horn, the AWO kidz, Paul Thomas Chapman, Darius Washington and the staff of the Waffle House and Paschal's at the airport.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the line-up for the panels and such...
Fri/19, 3PM, Japanese Schoolgirl Inferno, Main Events, Grand Ballroom
Sat/20, 10AM, Mondo Otaku USA, Main Events, Grand Ballroom
Sat/20, 12PM, Anime Podcast Roundtable, Special Events, Kennesaw
Sat/20, 1PM, Message From Space, Special Events, Kennesaw
Handy Dandy Pocket Program here.
Am I reading this right? A Message From Space PANEL? Damn I wish I could go T_T

Holy crap! i'll have to get you to sign my copy of Cruising the Anime City sometime. Got Tokyoscope signed last time you were here. Probably will be wearing a Videodrome shirt.

Man, I so should be there for the Message From Space panel! I wanna discuss my idea that the Govannas were NOT invaders but just a different race on Jelusia, due to Prince Hans having GOLD skin, and the significance of the Jelusians using 17th Century Japanese matchlocks as rayguns....
and, you know, crazy shit like that.

I'll try and record the audio just for me and you and Gaijinder.
