The convention isn't until early August, so things like that haven't been posted yet.

Name a vendor, they are usually there. Last year, we had HLJ, Kinokuniya bookstore, almost all of the major anime production companies, most of the major anime web-tailers, and tons of industry booths.

Guests are still being worked on at this point.

Keep checking the website for up to date info.....www.otakon.com

On another note, I don't think there will be a Macross panel this year. Last year's Macross panel got kind of a meh turnout, and since there is nothing new with Macross happening this year, we have decided to run a panel of a different color. Macross will still be discussed, it just will not be the central theme.

Oh how I'd want to be able to go that kind of happenings...

I ask about vendors b/c I want to know if any cel dealers attend. For myself the guests and/or vendors often determine if I ultimately attend. Thanks.

There are a couple of very prominent cel dealers that attend. One of them had some absolutely beautiful DYRL and SDF Macross cels last year, but they were out of my price range.

Names? Do you know the names of these peeps? If not the names can you describe the peeps? Single Asian male(s), Caucasian(s), couples? Any descriptions would help if you don't recall the dealers company name. Thanks!
