AnimeFest non-report

The answers to, and some explanations for, yesterday's poll are below the cut.

I should also mention, for those who don't read rachelmanija's journal, that as is required in the contract for all anime conventions, there was a religious convention occurring at the same time: a Southern Baptist convention, so there were lots of Baptists wandering around looking slightly offended at all the weird costumes. And there was also a large Indian wedding on Saturday night, so there were many, many women wearing beautiful saris wandering around.

rachelmanija has started putting her AnimeFest con report up. Has she explained how she came to mortally offend Saiyuki voice actor Greg Ayres or not? You'll have to go over there and see.

And the pics will be up later - I have to go take photos at work for a webpage.

rachelmanija finally comes clean about hoe she mortally offended Saiyuki voice actor Greg Ayres. The bit where she says what happened at the table afterwrds? I was there. I saw him. Not exaggerated one bit.

Anyway, other things we did:

Went to the Enormous Half-Price Bookstore, where Rachel bought so many books that I actually have to ship them to her.

Ate at Love and War in Texas, a kitschy Texas restaurant that features food from the five cuisine areas of Texas.

Watched episode 1 of QI, the British quiz show hosted by Stephen Fry.

Watched episodes 1 and 2 of the first season of Doctor Who, thus neatly addicting Rachel to it.

Ate gourmet pizza.

Did the rounds of the dealers' room, where Rachel shook every last box that contained a Bleach figuring, in the hopes of being able to magically divine which ones contained Renji and which ones contained Rukia.
