Hello from Anime USA 2011!

If you think this blog post sounds familiar, you’re right! I wrote basically the same thing last year.

This year, I’m running press and it’s a whirlwind! Press is one of those departments that not only kept me active all year, but involves plenty of onsite work, too. I’ve spent nearly the whole day handing out badges or moderating press conferences. I tried out a bunch of new strategies this year; I’ll blog about how that worked out after the convention.

As you can tell by the photos John took of me (above), I’ve hardly left our Convention Operations room. Now that things are winding down for the evening though, I plan to check out the Dealer’s Room, order a cotton-candy martini at the host club, and visit with as many friends as I can possibly run into. If you see me and don’t mind a little awkwardness, be sure to say hi.
