Anime
Central 2007 (Rosemont, IL) is Traveling Valentine's first out of state
convention. Tom and I finally live up to our name by visiting the Windy
City. Let me tell you, it was something different. Despite this being
our first time, I attended Anime Central from 2001 to 2003 - mainly
to visit my Amateur Voice Acting (AVA) friends and to help run a related
panel. I was hoping to see my MidWest friends again, but the only one
I saw from the original group was Jen (aka Sora). Not only did we attendAnime
Central, Tom and I toured around Chicago (with the aid of Patrick).
I
promised that I would return one day to Chicago. Well, here I am. This
time, I got a Tom with me. I never thought I would return, only in my
wildest dreams.
