Huh, sounds like an anime convention?

That would scare me. Conventions in general... I've never even been to a scifi con. There's a lot of weirdoes at those things.

Tell him to have fun!

Until Entmoot I had watched one anime movie...two if Totoro counts. So...I'm not knowledgeable!

Conventions in general seem kinda spooky to me. I mean...I'm a LOTR enthusiast, but conventions seem to be made up of people who really DO believe they're characters in the story. Dunno how that would apply to anime, but I imagine people are REALLY obsessed with anime, to an extreme.

I don't know anything about it, but I think I found their website. Looks like an anime-based con held in Austin, this coming weekend.
