Peter's Japan blog

After I found out that Minori Chihara is coming to the New York Anime Festival. She would be signing and holding a small concert, so I just had to go there.
As an extra, NYAF are selling special VIP packages with first access to floor and events, and one special package for Minori, to have a guaranteed seat for the concert. Extra benefits are not separate entrance to the venue, so no waiting in lines. And a VIP lounge where you can put your stuff away safe, so you don't have to carry too much around. And this for 150$ for the whole weekend ^^ (regular weekend ticket is $50)
But they were limited to 200 people,sooo when the exact moment the VIP tickets came out,I refresh the ticket site,and I got my special Minori Chihara VIP ticket !!! Me happy ;p Now I can book my flight and hotel!

Other Japanese guests include Puffy AmiYumi and VAMPS. I'm guessing there will be more :) American voice actors don't interest my much as I don't like dubs :)
On the other hand, it's actually two conventions as New York Comic-Con is held at the same dates and the same convention center. So when I looked at that guest list, I saw that also some TV/movie actors are going to be present for signing. One of them is Christopher Judge, whom I know very well for playing Teal'c in Stargate SG-1. Some of the others are Katee Sackhoff (whom I just recently got to know from the last season of 24) & James Marsters (saw him in Dragonball movie,and apparently he's quite famous from Buffy too). But more guests will probably be added later as it's still early, I hope more japanese guests as well :)
Soo, I'm pretty excited! I will be in New York from friday afternoon till sunday afternoon.
