Anime Expo 2010 - July 1-4, 2010 at the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) (http://www.anime-expo.org/)

This is the biggest anime convention in southern california.
from july 1-4 (june 30 if you're going for day 0 to pick up your pass)

Right now, the ticket price for a 4 day pass should be $75

Parking is INSANE with pricing if you park near the Convention Center. You're better off rooming in a hotel, especially since they have attendee premium pricing for the closer hotels.

This one is also the most expensive of conventions in So Cal. Be prepared to bring $500 MINIMUM for all the crap that you're going to buy lol. When I went to my first con back in '04, I only took $60. BIG MISTAKE LOL.

[Felipe]

i soooooo want to go...

browsin on 09 pix... hope souther california people (girls) get mad into it!

[Dignity]

It's cheaper than buying stuff for our cars too. Think of it this way: if you just sell a full set of Volk TE37 wheels, you'd have enough to pay for admission for all four days, a hotel room, and enough cash to splurge on shit you don't need lol. Hell, you could even eat there at the cafe (because they charge up the ass also lol).

[Touge Noob S13]

Is parking really that bad? I don't think Im capable of spending $500 on anime swag.

[Felipe]

they should be some "park at your own risk" shady parking spots around the erea... the closer you are the more $$$

[udon!]

girls dressed in anime!!!! Ftw!!!

last year i went the parking structure of the LACC was like 10 buck and the convention was right there
and there was alot of pretty girls in skimpy little outfits to offset the amount of ugly/fat chicks that were there
my brother and i made the mistake last year of forgetting to bring a camera

[MelloS13]

ANIME EXPO !! Big fan I've been going for 10+yr. I'll be there on the 3rd =)

Yeah, there are gems in that pile of crap we call parking structures lol. But for the most part, they usually run from 20 bucks up.

[Gizmo_S13]

I'll be there this year :-D

[Dignity]

This is a stupid idea (fanboy up the ass lol) but I wouldn't mind cosplaying as Cole from Initial D. He's the guy that drives the two-tone 89 coupe:
http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs46/f/2009/178/7/d/Iketani__s_S13_by_Tyranoo.jpg
It would be an awesome build though. Like, I would buy a shell, switch/weld the RHD firewall to it, then fix up the interior a bit, drop in a CA18DET, paint that sucker, then reluctantly put on the AKINA SPEEDSTARS sticker on it. IMO cool build, but too much fanboyism lol.

And I'd have to buy an old school NISMO collared tee also lol.

[uraznfriend]

how are you suppose to bring the entire car into the convention? without the car noone will know who your trying to be

[Dignity]

There's special request forms that you can order for these kinds of things. It'll cost me, though.

[Dignity]

...damn. I just remembered, but it doesn't show in this pic: Iketani has an aero bumper on his coupe. (I have one too, but that's going on my DD coupe lol).

I decided to just get a ride to get dropped off and get picked up on the last day of AX. The parking there was like $30-$40 on this one place for overnight. And even if you park at the hotel you go into, they charge you for overnight parking. And I heard they used to not do that when you room with the hotel... :squint:

[KaminaSan]

If any of you guys decide to go, hit me up!

Me and My girl cosplaying Team Rocket, at Anime Los Angeles.

[bardabe]

Yeah, I know how you feel. I have a bunch of outfits that I want to make right but I don't have the skills or the time to put into actually making them lol.

Yeah, I want to go to ASB too lol. Oh well. I'm going to T.I.T.S, so hopefully that'll make up for it lol.

NOTHING can make up for ASB dattebayo :D

[KaminaSan]

We went on Friday as a whole group (Ash,Misty,Brock,James,Jessie).

We all had work back in SD the next day, so that was it.

There was a Pokemon meetup the next day I believe.

We are doing it again for AX 2010, so expect us there!

[Dignity]

Oh crap. I remember seeing The main cast, but I don't remember seeing you two. :dead:

Then again, I tend to blast by people who may have potentially good cosplays because I have a high demanding job at ALA usually lol.

For AX, I usually am (but not this year, unfortunately) Auron from FFX. This year was supposed to be my best year cosplaying for him, but I haven't found the time nor the money to put into making it, so I'm just gonna go as Phoenix Wright with Maya (WinterFox).

Dude, I remember seeing you at ZOMGBBQ. Your physique would be good to do a Big Daddy from Bioshock (just a lot of effort into making the outfit lol)
http://prflak.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/bioshock-big-daddy.jpg

or maybe a Goron (Darunia perhaps because of your beard lol) from Legend of Zelda lol.
http://freetopia.free.fr/jeux-video/zelda/amis/darunia.gif

That, or bust a Pyramid Head from Silent Hill. (Just jump on that P90X and you'll be good lol)
http://th01.deviantart.com/fs12/300W/i/2006/292/c/9/Silent_hill_pyramid_head_by_Fabreeze.jpg

Be a badass lol.

[Gizmo_S13]

That would take forever to make and I'm not talented with the fabrics and Darunia would be too easy fucking speedo and bracelets. Plus! I've been losing weight this new job is badass. HAHAAHAH Beer belly is hitting the shitter.

[Dignity]

Haha good to hear, man! You should try for the pyramid head, at least lol.

[Gizmo_S13]

I'm just gonna go as Pedobear and be the coolest guy there. Hide behind booths and stalk kids.

[Dignity]

It's been done SOOOO many times, trust me lol.

[Gizmo_S13]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

Fuck it, I'm just gonna go as that one guy that's sort of normal but likes Anime and drives a 240.

[Touge Noob S13]
