Last year my friends and I attended the Anime Central(ACEN) Annual Convention. It was one if not the best weekends of my life. Me and my friends love anime and the convention was a celebration of anime and "digital culture" as I like 2 call it. They had a huge vender space where I spent a shitload of money, they sell swag from every anime and other stuff like swords and airsoft guns. I myself am not an otaku but I did think it was cool to see all the cosplayers and see normaly dressed people toating airsoft guns in the con and hotel.And there was a guy who customized a real Tureno AE86 to look like the one Tak drives in Initial D. I will admit that 80% of the girls there were "not that good looking" but the 20% that were were the hottest girls Ive ever seen!!! They also had a bigass RAVE that went till 4am everyday,pretty awsome. And they even had a 24 HOUR GAME ROOM! Sadly the arcade sponcering it dos'nt have Wangan....But they did have Initial D,DDR,BEATMANIA,and a bunch of other badass games. They also had a bunch of console tourneys like HALO and Super Smash Bros. My friend and I even won both the FFA and Team tourneys for HALO 2. I rented a room there last year and I will definately get a room again this year. If you like anime,manga,danceing,arcadegameing,drifting,asiangirls(like me..), then u will definately love this con. It was $40 for a 3-Day pass last year, I don't know what it will be like this year.

It sounds like preety much every Con I've ever attended. Its too bad this one is a ways away. But luckily for me I live in California and its preety much the hub for the larger Cons.

The next one for us is Fanime, one of the larger Cons in the US. It will be held around May-Jun. I forget the exact date. But if anyone becomes interested in wanting to trek all the way to San Jose, CA and is thinking of sharing rooms let me know. I will definately be there the full days.

Even though it has nothing 2 do with anime, it's cool that u live at Travis becouse I used to live there. My aunt lives in Vacaville and I go there 2 visit durning the summer. If the con is going on during my visit then I would take up that room offer!!
p.s-do they still have the DDR Eurobeat machine in that stripmall thinggy where u need your military ID 2 get in?

If you mean the DDR Extreme machine they have at the BX(Base Exchange) than I beileve so. I havent gone in there for quite some time but when I came to the base in 2004 they still had it there.
