Earlier this month we travelled to Rosemont, IL for the illustrious convention, Anime Central. This was our first time at this particular convention and I have to say, we were really treated like kings. They set us up with non-stop flights on Southwest. This alone was awesome! I don’t think I’ve ever been on a non-stop flight; but it was awesome! This was also our first time flying Southwest. Aside from the mess that is getting on the plane, the flight staff really cracked me up.  I’d like to fly them more just for that. We arrived in the area the day before the convention and were taken to see Star Trek that night. Not only was it a great movie; but the theater we saw it in was so posh! Everyone had their own reclining love seat. The convention staff was particularly helpful in every way, especially a gentleman named Kevin. Thanks Kevin! The days were filled with panels and fans. The nights were filled with awesome and food.

A few highlights:

I got to meet the voice of Lord Zedd.

JM showed up to hang out.

My family came and they got to experience their first anime convention.

We made a new drink called “The Steve”.

Lots of great food.

A poor fan dressed in white got an epic nose bleed in front of our table.

We got to see Dave, Scott, and Karian.
