Anime USA continues today in Crystal City
I stopped by Anime USA for a couple of hours yesterday, had a good time and in spite of not being as familiar with Japanese cartoons as I am with American ones. A few locals have tables - Chris Flick, DC Conspiracy and the Intervention Con. There's a lot of great costumes - it feels kind of like a Halloween carryover - and people are glad to have photos taken. The dealers room has a lot of material imported from Japan (and a lot of leather corsets and pink wigs) and I probably spent the most time in there, marveling at pop culture.

* Join us at 3 p.m. when we start our own blizzard with a snow-making truck; Jeff Kinney will speak at 4 p.m.
Tickets - required for the signing line - are available now. A ticket will be provided with your purchase, if you are attending the event. You can pick the ticket up when you come to the store. The books will be available on November 15, the day before the event. Please contact the store for more details.
We will stop accepting pre-orders on Monday, November 14 at 10 p.m. You may still buy your books and receiving signing line tickets in person at the store.
