Anime Expo 2012, Day 0: And so it begins…

The best laid plans of mice and men… or so the old saying goes. We’d planned on arriving in Los Angeles sometime in the early afternoon so that we could leisurely pick up our press badges and catch at least some of the press conferences; but alas, it was not to be, thanks to a combination of having to do Real Work™ in the morning; and the most dreaded of all enemies to travelers – TRAFFIC. Didn’t end up getting to the hotel until well past 8 PM, and while press badge pickup was going on till 9, by then we were way too tired and just wanted to get checked in to our room and get settled in. So the badges will have to wait till tomorrow.
