This is what waiting for Christmas used to be like when I was a kid! But at last the wait is over, it’s time for another Anime Central! For me this is only my second ACEN, but after last year’s experiences I think this one will be even more fun. For one thing, I’m planning to take my crew out to the hotel tonight to pick up our registration badges early and hopefully get tickets to the Pillows concert on Friday night.
On Friday, I’m planning to be at the opening ceremonies with the lovely WillowBrow while the kids are in school. WillowBrow isn’t a big anime or manga fan (she’s into cooking, wuxia novels and classical music), but she’s being a good sport for letting me drag her to these orgies of pop culture, Japanese pop culture no less! Still, I wish she could get as excited about it as I and the kids are. This year I’m hoping to get a song or two out her since she sounds a lot better doing Emerald Green or Shizukana Yoru ni, than I do! 🙂
