Alrighty folks this is going to be a big post! AnimeFest was pretty fun! I only went on Saturday (9-1-12) but the turn out was great! Comparing it to AKon I would say it was just a tad bit smaller.. but overall had the same great vibe 🙂
Kevin drove up from Austin the night before and brought some Ramune and Mochi for me to try! It was different, but really tasty. After giving him a haircut (lol) we went to sleep early since we needed to wake up at 7 am to get ready. That gave us enough time to drive to downtown Dallas. Good thing we did because part of the highway was closed off! When we got there the lines weren’t too bad for registration. Later in the day when my other friends Jordan and Jared arrived, the lines were crazy long! We attended a “brony improv” panel that was … well.. interesting.. lol .. And Jordan and Jared saw a Pokemon panel. We all went to the MLP photoshoot which happen to be at the same time as a the Zelda/Link photoshoot. Kevin was a ‘modern Link’ this convention but after seeing the other’s who went all out I think we might do Zelda and Link next!
And be sure to check out AnimeFest Part 2!

Be sure to check out my other AnimeFest posts:
It's always good to read! Good job! I haven't read Gatsby since high school, but I think I liked it.
You could read Victor Hugo's Les Miserables in anticipation for the upcoming movie (which looks awesome), but I wouldn't recommend it. It's a great story, but Hugo's telling of it is very long, often rambling, and fairly challenging to get through.
I recently re-read The Hobbit because I cannot wait until December to see the movie. I didn't care much for the book the first time through but enjoyed it more this time around. Now I'm working through the Lord of the Rings series; somehow I never read any of them. I think Tolkien's creation of a vast, varied world with rich history, background, and even languages is very impressive, but I don't care much for his storytelling/writing. Sure, Peter Jackson had to thin out some of the material for his movies, but I think he tells the tale much better. (Disclaimer: I'm at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring. I suppose my opinion could change after reading the next 2 books.)
