Fanime, San Jose, CA (May 24 - 27): [link] - Artist Alley is at South Hall, away from main convention center. I will be all the way in the back [link]. Likely lonely. I may dress up for all four days, so come visit. If no one visits, I am tempted to be absent and go home early The director for Natsume Yuujinchou is going to be there!

A-Kon, Dallas, Texas (May 31 - June 2): [link] - Anyone want to hang out after convention (e.g. grabbing dinner)?

Anime Expo, Los Angeles (July 4 - 7): [link] - One of the largest Anime events in North America. It also happens to be in the city where some of my best college friends live. Nyanko-sensei's voice and Blue Exorcist's character designer/director are going *_* 

Nan Desu Kan, Denver, CO (Sept 13 - 15): [link] - I can't wait!!

If you are going to the same event(s), please stop by and say hi. When it comes to people's names, I have the memory of a goldfish... but I am trying to get better at it and I do love catching up with convention friends.

love,
Lily

========= Other 2013 Conventions ============

Animation on Display (AOD) at Japan Town, San Francisco (Feb 16-17): [link] I will be near the stairway (#14 on the map: [link]. I love this convention. It has good guests, awesome cosplayers, nice location, friendly staffs, and is not as overwhelming as some larger conventions. It will also have beautiful program guide and badge art (well, at least I can guarantee you that the artist will try her best to make them awesome).

Kawaii Kon, Honolulu (March 15-17): [link] I will be near and face the entrance (#29). I had a BLAST last year, and can't wait to visit again!! : )

Sakura-Con, Seattle (March 29-31): [link] - I will be at table #500. Last row from entrance, but near dealers/small press. map: [link] I met some of the nicest people I know through Sakura Con. I love the convention, the city (minus the rain), and I got Barnaby Brook Jr.'s autograph last year. <3
