wahh, it brings back so many memories seeing a post about AWA! i haven't been to AWA since i was so young and silly, so I honestly can't tell you what it might be now. but i remember it being fun. i didn't go to too many panels, but i definitely had fun. tho now that i've been to anime boston, awa definitely can't compare...but i remember everyone being so nice! go! you should still find some friends and go!
