Next Anime Convention: AnimeNEXT

[MetalGearSilux]

Alright guys and girls -

While listening to the intro song of "The Sopranos" while traveling around NJ, I got an epiphany for another idea that we can do. For anyone who is around the city or NJ, remember that the next anime convention is AnimeNEXT.



It's taking place from June 18th to the 20th @ the Garden State Exhibit Center in Somerset, NJ and, as we all know, that is nearby. Here's google maps to your rescue (just zoom in to see it clearly):

maps.google.com/maps?q=40.538126,-74.520521&z=7&om=0

So what could I possibly be saying with all of this? Simple. Who is thinking of going or is interested in going to AnimeNEXT? Here's the link to the site in case anyone was wondering:

www.animenext.org/.

As mentioned in the site, the tickets for the full weekend (Friday the 18th to Sunday the 20th) is $60. Tickets for Friday or Sunday is $35 each and for Saturday is $45. However, if you get your tickets before June 1st, you get it at a lower price ($47.50 if your thinking the complete weekend).

So feel free to check out the AnimeNEXT website for more info on guests speakers (as an example, Kenji Kamiyama, the director of Eden of the East, will be one of many guests), plans for the weekend, and anything else that will please your hearts. I'm personally considering going, especially if I can find a way to get there by bus (which I know there is... Angeli, I may need your help though).

Hope this info helps. Lata!

Ah....now that is something I would like to do in Jersey.
You should have recorded it and put it up on YouTube....


As for the actual topic, not really into cons. But I may be going to NYAF. Will post in that topic.

I'd be willing to go if others are...that'll be the last weekend I'm here in the city before I go to Korea.

Hey I'm up for it. So far, two people are down. We still gotta find a mode of transportation. Angeli, where are yooouuuuu???

[herunumen]

Luis just post on her Facebook. She's still active there. And unfortunately, I'm afraid I'll have to pass on this one.

[shinkiro0]

Um, I actually live about half an hours drive from my place.

Then again, its probably better to ask angeli because of my track record.

8U Thanks guys for making me inpromptu driver. LOL

I would if I could ; A ; Unfortunately on the 19th my family is having a birthday barbeque for my brother. xD Speaking of that, I was about to ask if anyone was in the area and wanted to come!

BUT THAT IS THREAD DERAILMENT xD

Most of the people staying for summer classes are here for that weekend... but that's like, right before I get hammered with two finals so... I'm probably gonna pass, or if I do go, it'll be for one day and not the weekend. I'll check it out and get back to you though.

@angeli - You name the time, place, and how to get there and most likely, I would definitely love to meet your family. Speaking of which, we should go to the mall one day (Mitsuwa if I remember correctly). I need to expand my horizon and explore Jersey in depth as well. hehehehe

[Lady_Earlgray]

Haha yes! We will definitely plan a legit Mitsuwa outing

:3 Also if anyone is interested, including you Luis, the barbeque is at my house on June 19th but for convenience if you're able to take the bus to get to the Willowbrook Mall in New Jersey then I can pick you up easy from the bus stop there, it's only about five minutes away from where I live. [Yeah you know you're from Jersey if there's a mall in every direction near your house]

You know what, I think I'm just going to note spam everyone I know/think can come on Facebook, maybe that'll be easier

[Judge]

luis and anyone else who's going, let's start planning

[MetalGearSilux]

Due to financial problems, I think I wont be able to go to AnimeNEXT. Sorry Nick.
