The Long Beach Performing Arts Center. This venue acted as the theatre for the main events of the con, including the masquerade, opening and closing ceremonies, and the music video contest. (DSC00599.jpg - 114348 bytes)

 Let's para-para! ^_^ (DSC00604.jpg - 103272 bytes)

The Tokyopop booth outside the convention center... Not much. A tent, some advertising material, a Hachi-Roku... (DSC00650.jpg - 102306 bytes)

 ...A HACHI-ROKU?!? Yes, it's a copy of the car that Takumi drives in the anime, ''Initial D''. The car was made to it's present appearance by none other than Bandai's Jerry Chu. (DSC00651.jpg - 133785 bytes)

 ''Fujiwara Tofu (private vehicle)''. Yup, it sure looks a lot like Takumi's car, alright. ^_^ (DSC00653.jpg - 60550 bytes)

This is what the sign said next to the vehicle. Man, Tokyopop was sure lucky that Jerry was working on this ^_^;; (DSC00654.jpg - 113086 bytes)

 The Newtype booth, just outside the dealer's room. Newtype is releasing an American version of it's magazine to the states. The catch: better be ready to cough up $85/year for 12 issues. ^_^;; Catch 2: Newtype is effectively published by ADV, so you can guess the magazine's possible slant toward ADV titles.

 The front of the line waiting for the Watsuki panel on Saturday, about an hour before the panel started. This was, by far, the most popular GOH panel of the con. (DSC00773.jpg - 96485 bytes)

The tail end of the same line. Note that it goes AROUND the structure, then loops back to the point that this picture was shot at. (DSC00778.jpg - 89480 bytes)

 Just to give you an idea, this is the distance back to the door from the end of the Watsuki line. That's a good amount of length for a line still an hour away from seeing the panel. (DSC00779.jpg - 116164 bytes)

 The dealer's room line, waiting outside the doors on Friday morning. The line goes to the end of the block ^_^;; (DSC00781.jpg - 107579 bytes)

A view of all the available seats for the movie theatre, where they tried ever so valiantly to show 35mm prints of anime films. This was for the showing of Sakura Taisen, the motion picture (of course ^_^). (DSC00783.jpg - 118419 bytes)

 Ahh, Rice and Ramen, the incredibly talented string duet from up north who valiantly raised money at Fanime to come down here. At AX, they were performing to raise money for Comiket. (DSC01001.jpg - 77141 bytes)

 If I had to guess, I'm sure they were vastly successful in doing so ^_^. Ahh, if only we could get entertainment like this at every con. So classy. (DSC01002.jpg - 111699 bytes)
