Well it's a little early still. The SPJA is either pretty tight lipped, or
they honestly don't know for sure themselves.
BTW, Terrance, last year the creator of Sakura Taisen was at the ADV pannel.
I forgot his name but I snapped a shot of him (not a great picture). He
didn't seem to speak any english and thus didn't interact with the fans
(bummer). So you didn't miss much. It would still be cool if you went though
since the rest of the convention was killer.

I agree. It's a bit like me wrestling with the thought if I want to attend
San Diego Comic Con again this year or not. Since I won't be getting a job
like I thought (I've decided to go the college route instead), I might not
have enough money to attend multiple conventions (even those in my own home
state). Last year at SDCC was kinda lame. I only went for one day and so I
missed the Naoko Takahuchi frenzy. I haven't heard if they're going to get a
guest for their anime track this year or not (the mail they sent me hasn't
mentioned one), but I was sorely dissapointed with the anime presence there
after attending Anime Expo.
Other than those two, I also have the option of Robocon '99, and *maybe* E3
(Oy vay!).
