Anime Expo ’12 – Day 0 + 1

So, yes, I was at the convention center some today while also helping a couple of my friends try to figure out the metro rail system for Anime Expo starting tomorrow. Now if you are wondering about the Day 0 deal, it’s the day before the main events starts but people can still come over to pick up their passes so they don’t have to wait in line in the morning as it is warming up. Also by the convention center they are building up for some kind of X-Games event going on. I don’t know, maybe I’ll get more info on that later.

UPDATE WITH DAY 1:

I should get back to sleep soon, got to wake somewhat early. Anywho, got there, got my pass, walked around, took more photos and a bit of video and saw something new that I’m never seen or actually noticed before at Anime Expo. Religious protesters. I’ve seen them at Comic Con when I was there awhile back and they were few. Here there was a bunch of them. Is your life so lame that you actually have to keep track of coming events into the area just to hold your dumbs signs you pull out for every parade that takes place?

Also I was I was planing on taking the this one train back to my place because I wanted to be home at a specific time. Because why not? so as I’m about to hop on the blue line some jerk decides he wants to see if his corpse can stop a train. Well it did and caused delays causing me to miss the train I wanted so I hung for awhile longer and got home later on. Was all good still.

Let see what else comes

From the Chicago Pride Event

Someone on reddit posted this photo on the site about trolling the protesters at the pride event there. What I found interesting about the photo was I couldn’t help to notice how familiar guy at the megaphone looked.

So I decided to look at my photos from the Pride event here in LA two weeks ago and it turns out it’s the same guy in the photo below. Well traveled I see, I wonder what this guy actually does?

Gettipede ’12

Alright so here is how it went down. When I got to the getty I looked around for anyone I might now who would be there and right before I got on the tram up the hill I spotted someone. It made me happy. Got up the hill to look around some more and found 4 more people including the person that was starting the line. So after a little while the leader of the gettipede went back down to the hill waited and then hopped back on the tram again to start it up where everyone was in waiting to follow along and take part.

Many people at the museum looked at this without a clue what was going. I even one women saying to her kid “Sweetie, get out of the way of the interpretative dance.” Classic.

So, can you walk the line?

MJ Tribute Flash Mob ’12

Alright, so I was at the gettipede today but because of the MASSIVE amount of photos I have to post that tomorrow. But for now here are some other photos I got today at city walk of a flash mob around the anniversary of the death of Michael Jackson. A friend of mine that was dancing at that asked if it was possible I can stop by and get some shots at that. At first I thought there might of been a time conflict but turned out there wasn’t so I figured I should have time to do both. And I did. Sadly by the time I got there it was already going but at least I got something.

Absolute Chaos

So I was around Northridge and figured I had some time before I headed back home so I got another photo of this. Kind of upset the grass is gone because I feel that helped make the shot before. Oh well.
