Pillows, Otakon stuff.

Jun 19, 2006 20:52

The Pillows concert sold out before I could get tickets. The box office had told my sister they were releasing extra tickets, having reserved too many for industry guests. But a day later they're telling me, "Whatever someone told you... it's sold out." Gee, thanks for being on the same page. Bah. Hope anyone going has a ton of fun, though! ^_ ( Read more... )

hah.. your icon is the weather. And you're so right! Anime Expo beat the hell out of Otakon this year. I mean, there's just no topping the level of guests Anime Expo got, not to mention they're the first con to get some of them to appear in the US.

The only reasons I would cut Otakon some slack are because, well... they're on the East coast, cop out as it sounds. Maybe some of the higher profile guests just don't want to make the trip? [Then again, Ootomo went to NY in 2001, TMR @ Otakon in 2003, L'arc in 2004... so what do I know?] Also, Anime Expo is having a big anniversary year, so maybe that factors in. Or maybe I'm just rationalizing.

But imho, I think you're right on. I like Nana's voice, but she's only 18 and probably not that known here [FMA OP aside]. You're right, '18 - Eighteen' is her sole album, and only four singles to go along with it. I know little of MUCC, and I don't know how they'll be received. So, yeah, Anime Expo is ferior. Not that Otakon cares about what I think.
