Hi everyone,
As a new list member, I'd ordinarily lurk awhile to get the lay of the
land, but I thought Terrence's mention of AX was a good opening for
introduction, so... hajimemashite. :)

Speaking of AX, was anyone else there in costume? In particular, I'm
wondering if the people I saw dressed as Sumire and as Kanna happen to be
on this list. Kanna-san spotted me Saturday morning (as Sakura, surprise
surprise) and stopped me for a picture. My friend Travis snapped one as
well, and it's one of the best shots in the, um... 5 or so rolls of film he
took that weekend. ^_^; Sumire had a fantastic costume too, but I never
managed to catch her after Friday.
Actually, I'm surprised I haven't really seen any other discussion of AX
here yet. Was anyone else there at all? If so, what'd you think of it?
Incidentally, while there I found an American magazine featuring Sakura
Taisen on the cover. The article inside was apparently written by our very
own Ming. I was wondering if he talked about it at all on this list?
Sorry if this is redundant for older list members.
