These sure put my state's little local con of 750 people to shame. XD

But I can imagine going to one of the huge anime cons would be really awesome, but terribly insane. But there would be more VAs to meet too. :D

Oh, I know. ^_^ We were honored enough to have Vic Mignogna come last year. But it was a very rare appearance. Where at, AWA, for example, he's there every time. ^_^;

Huh, didn't expect Anime North to be anywhere near the top ten.
