AX 2010 Day 3

Wow! I had so much fun today, It's only making me sad that tomorrow's the last day until another 359 days till AX 11. Well, here's today's summary:

• Again, in the exhibit hall line early. Hearing of the ones in front and behind me about the Yui Horie autograph sigining. Didn't go as how they expected it to go and essentially they felt pretty screwed. They were having another autograph signing at the opening of the exhibit hall, and although I wasn't in line for that, I wished them luck on getting those autographs.
• Attended the final portion of a panel explaining that manga and anime are forms of art and shouldn't be looked down upon, especially from those that aren't inclined to manga and anime. A 2nd part of the panel is to be shown tomorrow, but I'm having conflicts with what I want/need to do tomorrow. I'll have it figured out before I leave home.
• Was debating whether to go to Danny Choo/FAKKU's meetup at the ESPNzone, but after seeing Danny at the event prior to that, I commited to going. 
• And as a bonus, I brought my dakimakura pillow cover of Mirai for him to sign, and It Went Superbly!!! I was within 5-10 min. after he finished his talks and all those prior to me getting to him were only displaying their badges for him to sign, I was the first to bring up the pillow cover! Sweet! I loved his reactions on seeing it: amazement, jokingly smelling it, showing off the other side to everyone else hee hee! Took a few pictures and saw others too taking pictures so I am glad that I went through with it! I only wished I had more time to speak to him rather than 'Hi-A pleasure to meet you-can you sign this---Thank you very much!' but he was pretty much being mobbed by everyone around. Thank you Danny for coming to AX!!!! You're the BEST!!!
• um ok moving on. Of course this being Saturday, this was the most crowded of the days, so there were a heap load of people dressing up and I got some very good and very funny pictures of cosplayers! All great!
• I stayed a while after the exhibit hall closed to take more pictures and checked out the goings on back and forth between the convention center and Nokia Plaza. ended up staying there 2 hours post-exhibit hall closing. Really, It went by so fast!!!!
• I'm actually finding myself restraining from overbuying in the exhibit hall. that's pretty good! I still got to get some gifts for others tomorrow. I hope I can make time with the panels I want to see tomorrow...

Spoils:

• 2 more prints (1 of C.C., 1 of K-ON girls in 'Listen!' attire)
• 1 Hentai game from J-List (Family Project)
• gifts for 2 people so far (1 AX kids shirt for my nephew, and 1 Naruto themed bag for my cousin's girlfriend, the one that went to last year's AX)
• 9 more Hentai Doujin (Gold Rush, P-FOREST, and Kohakutei)

Lets hope for the best that tomorrow was just as enjoyable as it was today! The last days are always rather disappointing since come the days end, it's back to normal usual life. But I am keeping in mind what Danny has continued to say at the end of his speeches this AX (more or less his words): "Anime Fandom is not something to be embarrased or ashamed of, but rather one should be proud of it."
