Oh well. ^^;

Oh I took a look at your loot list. All that fate stuff was at AX?! I would had loved to get my hands on any of that, especially the Fate/Zero novels! Just where did you buy them at AX? I guess I didn’t look around hard enough.. or I was too busy being staff and helping run panels for the all the guests.

We have two ears and one mouth, so listen first before speaking.

Unfortunately having two ears also meant info could come in and go out on the other end.

Good luck with your nation, and try to think on how to moralize your people.

Long Beach looks great. However, the events (besides the panels) and hotel situations were abysmal. I even heard a group decided to sleep in their cars in order to avoid the hotel situation. The hotel room my group stayed in was fairly messed up. The air conditioner would not turn on until the door was closed and deadbolted. Deadbolted???? I occasionally heard screaming in the alley outside the window. There were not enough parking spaces for motel rooms….
Another group in the same motel had rust in their bathroom, their TV was fuzzy, the icemaker acted like a 90 year old in a sprinting contest, and nothing says classy then walking though the streets of Long Beach while hopping, skipping, and jumping over suicidal cockroaches who seem to aim for the bottom of my shoes.

Hanging out with friends I don’t get to see more than once a year makes any event decent. I do wish half the time there wasn’t spent in one line or another though.

I attended the SOS concert myself and found myself looking like this :O the entire time in bewilderment and frustration.

The delay for the concert was horrible. 3 hour wait in line, 1 hour wait inside. The staff checked the crowd’s baggage before the concert started. Acceptable security check. Then they let about a hundred people in without checking their baggage at all. Huh? Another point of frustration involved having everyone line up to get into the concert. That’s normally acceptable. But then the staff required fans to sit in accordance to the tickets they received 3 hours earlier. Uhhhh…….so I could have just come 5 minutes before showtime and sat in my assigned seat? I didn’t have to wait 3 hours in the sun? Couldn’t SOMEONE have told me and the other 900? people there that?

The English voice actors were confused as to the delay as well. While they made a valient attempt to entertain the crowd, it was so obviously ab-libbed and disorganized that it was painful to watch. The crowd started doing the wave in an attempt to entertain themselves. They also started pulling out glowsticks received at a earlier glowstick event and proceeded to amuse themselves. One person I knew was so bored they tried to see how far they could lean back in their chair. This ended badly.

Aya was the heroine of the event. I have serious suspicions key figures were not notified there was even a concert. Aya was nervous for her first song, but she came back and kicked ass and really made the painful, arduous, and inept concert not quite so bad. Her energy and the way she screamed into the mike MADE the concert. So much passion and heart demonstrated for an up till then screwed up event. She’s my new hero.

I’ve seen all the anime. But I am anticipating the game’s translation.
