Another year, another Anime Los Angeles. This is Traveling Valentine's
second time at the Van Nuys event. We were very thrilled to come back
to this fan friendly convention. We were also excited about performing
in masquerade. The cost of doing convention media is being unable perform
on stage and cover masquerade at the same time. But with a little help
from our Nor Cal friend Bart Boy, we were able to rock out on stage.
Tom flew down from San Jose to spend time in Los Angeles. 2007 is going
to be a commuting year. We drove from my residence to the con.
Anime
Los Angeles had more or less an attendance of 1800 people. It is also
known as Ribbon Con. A tradition at science fiction convention is decorating
your badge to hold ribbons. Tom and I collected plenty of them during
the weekend. We plan to continue the tradition handing out our own ribbons
for the 2007 season.
Without further
ado, read on about our adventures in the valley.
