Anime
Expo 2007 (Long Beach, CA) took place on the last weekend of June. This
is Traveling Valentine's first time doing official press for the country's
largest and most exciting anime convention. Having press access is something
we've dreamed of since going to Anime Expo. With over 44,000 attendees
in Long Beach (nicknamed Vice City), Anime Expo had much to offer- concerts,
cosplay events, screenings, industry panels, and the largest Dealers
Room you'll ever step into.
Tom
and I helped the Masquerade Ball for the second consecutive year. This
is our fourth Masuqerade Ball. It has always been the crème de la crème
for us considering we fell in love at the first ballroom dance. While
Anime Expo was not the first con to run a ballroom dance, more cons (Fanime,
Anime Central) followed suite.
Please
enjoy our Anime Expo report. Feel free to take any pictures we may have
taken of you, but please credit Traveling Valentine when you do. Please
blame Anime Expo: Vice City for issues of social violence. Thank
you.
