What is AX?

Currently the largest project managed by the SPJA, Anime Expo is an annual convention currently held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Historically Anime Expo (AX) has been held on July 4th weekend as a 4-day event. Anime Expo has grown in scale dramatically, and is currently the largest anime and manga convention in North America. It is the second longest running anime convention (after A-kon in Texas) starting in 1992.

Enjoy your IA performance, should be a really interesting experience. I know I personally loved the vocaloid concerts I've been to

Yay! More people. Added Harrharrqi and Horo. -Soba- confirmed he was coming in a skype chat.

Besides that, trying to figure out what I should update the op with, but at least we are having more people here this year.

Con date is coming closer, so just want to ask some questions.

What days is everyone going to be there?

Do we want to do a group dinner, or should we just have some random meetups?

If no one answers, I'll probably pm everyone on the list these questions, and to make sure we stay in contact, I'll probably send all you my phone number in case you need me to try to coordinate something.
As for my personal answers, I'll be there all 4 days unless I get bored, and as for group dinner, unless someone has a car, getting away from the crowded little tokyo area to find a place with a reasonable line will be difficult. (If anyone is for some reason in the west side like where I live, I'll be more than happy to eat with you.)

Jimmy and I will just be going Saturday. Dinner works for me since what I have planned now will be buying stuff in the morning and going to IA in the afternoon. I don't really have anything yet planned for the night time, but Jimmy might pull me to some Love Live event... :o

If you have a specific time slot and specific area to meetup, that'll help me out so I can plan around it. Edit: For location, preferably closer to the convention center so it's easier to go back and forth.

I'll also be going again this year all 4 days. Mark me down as Comett since that's what everyone knows me as. I'll also be attending the love live concert screening on saturday! Hope to see some of you there.

I was wondering if I should go to the LL concert. I am trying to figure out how fun it will be to watch a recording of a concert I saw the recording for already but this time with other people. Like I can't see it being that much fun sadly. And the items included for going weren't that exciting. Someone want to convince me otherwise?

As for dinner, let me think of something after I wake up.

I know most of the restaurants around LA since I lived there for pretty much my whole life so I can recommend good places depending on what kind of food everyone's craving. I'm trying to get bananamilk and Andrew to come down and hang out as well so fingers crossed

Yeah, I watched the concert like 10 times in my love live days. I'm only going because a couple of my friends are going and the items don't seem to bad for me. I wouldn't actually mind watching it one more time but this time with some friends.

Fine, I'll consider heading to the LL event....

I'll probably reorganize the op in a bit, let me just finish my marathon of Sekai Project VNs (4 done in 3 days......)

As for where to eat, I still have no clue, anyone want to suggest? Admittedly, our party is growing, so maybe just a gathering with take out/fast food.

Yeah I'll be going. Wasn't aware of this thread until a PM, but how about In-n-Out. It's cheap, everyone likes it, and for people coming from out of state it might be a nice thing to try.

I also want to state that I have a pretty big group of friends I'm staying with in Northridge who will be going with me. I'll post some profiles here, but not many of them play osu!.

We will be there the whole weekend and once we get bored/done each day we will be going to Round 1 PHM/Lakewood for IIDX/SDVX. We will be going there for a few days after AX too to avoid masses of con-goers.

If anyone wants to hang out times besides the meetup, my friends and I don't bite. Definitely making a serious attempt to go to the wagakkiband/IA concert but I haven't had much luck getting into ANY of the concerts since 2011 cause so many people.

Send me a forum PM if you want in our GroupMe for the con. I suggest that we make one for this meetup too, would make things easier to coordinate.

Wish this was better organized, but it was nice seeing everyone (or some of you technically haha).

Hope to see everyone next year or at fanime or something

Yeah, I apologize for the organization, but the reception was terrible (and I forgot a lot of things). I'll think about how to do it better next year
