Anime Boston 2007 – Days 0.5 and 0.75
Due to horrific time constraints, the slightly irregular comic blog will be pre-empted by a brief interlude about the convention that I am attending, namely, Anime Boston.
We left New York on Wednesday night (The Jackal was kind enough to drive us), and were safely in Boston sometime around midnight on Thursday morning. We perused the Jackal’s extensive DVD collection, watched the rather awful ‘Dark Fury,‘movie, and went to sleep.
Thursday morning proper found us asleep until 10ish, and then we got ready to face the day. We cleaned up and made our way to lunch at Fire and Ice, and after a short walk around Cambridge and Harvard Yard, we went over to the Hynes Center to set up the booth (pictures to come, I promise).
4 hours or so later, the booth was set up. At twice the size of the booth from last year, it looks rather impressive. It’s a pity that MegMan could not make it this year, but creative differences will do that to you.
Anyway, I will have far more to say tomorrow after the first night ends; we’re planning to go to ‘Southie’ after the Dealer’s Room closes, although we might end up skipping that in favor of the Friday Night dances- we’ve been at AB twice so far, but have actually seen very, very little of the con itself. I haven’t really seen anything in Boston aside from whatever we’ve driven past, and a few restaurants here and there, so whatever we end up doing, after the shift ends, it will be new to me.
Wish me luck; I’ll talk to you tomorrow, time permitting.
