Anime Expo 2012, Day 2: Circling the drain

Anime Expo 2012 - Day 2Note: the same grammar/typo/accuracy disclaimer from yesterday’s update also applies here. Didn’t take any notes, so my only reference is a log of my liveblog, which can be somewhat hard to follow at times (even for me, and I wrote the darn thing).

At least then it would be manageable to walk around the block.

    I enjoyed the concerts. They were incredibly fun. However, the hall itself felt like a big school gymnasium with the flat surface, and, what irked me the most, they never turned off the lights on the side of the venue. For the Kajiura concerts I almost like I had to wear a hat to block out the spotlight. The smart fans were the ones who sneaked up to the open seats up front. It would have to be a brilliant concert for me to pay anything more than $10 to sit in there again.

  • […] we ended up having to settle for one of the last available hotels, and our experience there, well, it wasn’t pretty. This year I vowed to not repeat that mistake, and therefore when I heard that Anime Expo hotel […]
