AnimeNEXT 2012 in NJ this June

TODAY THRU SUNDAY

"AnimeNEXT is the largest independently organized anime convention in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. AnimeNEXT 2011 will be held at the Garden State Expo Center in Somerset, New Jersey on June 8th-10th"

As I'm rather broke-ish this summer, I will probably only be attending on Saturday the 9th (for the major day of the con and the rave), but is anyone else here going?
I'll be proudly repping Fakku with my Mega Milk outfit~

It's about mid-sized for a con, taking up a large convention center and adjacent hotel for the weekend.

I'll be heading out there. My friend does photography for most of the conventions on the east coast and I drive him 3 or 4 of them. Convention wise I'd say its one of the better ones. Conventions like Otakon(baltimore,md) are a little large for my tastes, where as conventions like Nekocon (Hampton roads, va) are to small. Anime next is in that just right category.

Personally I hope they have there type-moon panel again. It was a blast and its always fun to see other who like such a niche group like type-moon.

Damn, all my friends are saying they're low on funds and can't come now... I may or may not go at this point, dammit... we'll see by week's end.

Its 2:30 am right now and I just started on packing for AniNext. I'll be there for all three days and staying right at the doubletree hotel, which is part of the con. I did not check, but hopefully Fakku will be there like they were in past years. First time I went I was a bit too nervous to visit their booth with all my friends hanging around me lol.

Sadly they aren't going to be there this year. :(
Idk about Sanshee, either, but should still be fun.

I think I'll definitley be going, but sadly two of my friends can't make it.
But I will have some there, thankfully.

Alrighty peeps. If you see me (I'll be in Mega Milk and jeans shorts, probably purple shoes), come say hi and give a high five for Fakku!
Clean hands only, rofl.

Today's haul from AnimeNext convention! Didn't see any Fakkuza (or if there were any, no one said hi lol) but still quite a lot of fun. Took my friend who'd never been to a con before: needless to say his eyes were opened lol.

Got a beautiful figure of mah husbandu, Mr. Kotetsu T. Kaburagi (Wild Tiger) from Tiger and Bunny. So happy lol, even though it was a splurge for the day, had not found it anywhere else! :)

Welcome back. Any notable things happen during the convention you wanna share?

Nah, sadly not much of note. Was nice, I did manage to meet up with some friends I had not seen in a while though. :)

I did not take my laptop with me, so I couldn't keep up with this thread. Sadly no fakku, but sanshee was there, which was great because I finally got some Pokemon Badges! I had a good time, hentai panels were hilarious.

Ah, damn. I wanted to go to a few (AND the rave..) but I had to drive my friend home and wanted to be awake enough to ensure our travels were safe. Usually, my own trip home is really quick as I live nearby, but he lived quite a ways off.

Still, had a lot of fun! I enjoyed the Little Sound DJ panel on chiptune music. That program had always mystified me so it was awesome to get a small tutorial.

You did not go to either one? I didn't have so much fun at the 2nd one since at that point, roomies were at each throat for no apparent reason so I was by my lonesome. At least I got a good haul at the dealers room, I spent most of my money getting gifts but luckily I was able to secure some stuff for my own.

I wasn't very impressed with the convention this year. D': I should've just saved that money for Otakon. Ah well.
I got some yummy snacks in the Dealer's Room (sadly didn't have enough to splurge on a figurine. I was eyeing up my waifu Minami from Baka to Test).
