Anime Expo – Day 0

---

Anne and I flew into LAX this morning to meet up with friends Sapphire and Kaori to get ready for Anime Expo goodness.

After a brief detour to pick up a few things, we were all off to pre-reg to get our tickets! And although we didn’t stick around for that very long (the line was the longest I had seen in years and we got there late in the day) we did have plenty of photo-ops and a great time talking to the people there.

The four of us went as Team Rocket and it was great to hear the occassional cheer and to have photographers stopping us with a smile for quick pictures. We even had the pleasure of running into an Ash and his pikachu! And in being a great sport, played along as we not only stole his pikachu, but ran away, then played keep away with it. He was a fantastic guy about it, and it was a pleasure to pose with pictures.

A big thank you to that Ash! And if anyone has pictures from that moment (or if you have pictures from us walking the line), or if even Ash himself wants to give us a holler, we’de love to hear from you all!

Tomorrow its the Sailor Moon and Pokemon gatherings as well as some panels and the AMVs.

See you there!
