I can't believe it is that time of year again. July is about to hit me upside the head with Anime Expo, San Diego Comic Con and Otakon. Yes I will be at all three.

Anime Expo is first, and I am flying out on Thursday morning to meet a horde of 40,000+ anime/video game/sci-fi/comic hungry people at a cavernous convention center in downtown Los Angeles. Do I feel prepared? .....Somewhat. I always feel overwhelmed at the thought of AX, but then I remember, I have been going to this con since 1999! And I've done just about everything you can do there, from competing in the Masquerade (costume contest), displaying at the Art Show, selling prints in the Artist Alley, doing photoshoots, giving panels, and exhibiting in the MASSIVE dealer hall. That thought usually makes me excited to get out to AX, which is what I'm feeling now.

So come Friday, you can find me at the YayaHan.com Exhibit Booth #815 at the convention's South Hall. Here is a map of where I'll be - click for larger:

I will be doing a panel presentation on Friday, the 29th June: Sociology of Cosplay, 1pm, room #411. If you have always been curious about the unique social structure in Cosplay, stop by and give it a listen, maybe share your experiences too!

Not only will my 2013 calendar be available for perusing, sale and signing, but I have been working my tail off to produce a full stock of my cosplay accessories! I will also have prints, t-shirts and other merch at the table, and of course I will be cosplaying all weekend, so come by and say hi!
