Rachel, Chikashi and I are getting ready for our trip to Anime Expo 2007 in sunny Long Beach, California! We’re made made so many lists, I even have ‘make list of stuff’ on one of my lists! Here are but a few lists that I have for the trip (list courtesy of Ta-da Lists):
- Items that can’t go on the airplane
- Carry-on items
- Checked luggage items
- Items that I absolutely can’t forget
- Everyday items I’ll need
- Panels questions
- Interview questions
- What to do when we’re not at the con (i.e. Hollywood, Little Tokyo, etc.)
- Food
- Restaurants
- Souvenirs
We’ll also be ‘live blogging‘ whenever possible, so there’s a bunch of mobile-office-related stuff there that needs a list too!
I’ve talked enough about my lists. Now is there anything you would like to list for us to cover during the con?

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
If you can get anything on Oreskaband, I’d be a very happy camper!
