What if they threw an anime con and nobody came?

… well, that’s what it felt like on Friday. The Anime Avenue at GenCon So Cal seemed deserted. It was out of the way and the convention seemed underpopulated to begin with, so the rooms upstairs were very empty. At one point, there was one person in each of the four video rooms, at least one of which was a volunteer watching the room. Karaoke attendance was also sorta low.

Saturday was a bit better. We actually had nine people in the contest, and most of them were around for open mic before and after as well. Moving stuff around made Hank and I realize that bringing a cart to move this crap around would help a lot. I’m still sore in my arms and legs, although the legs are probably from staying on my feet most of the weekend.

Got back to my mom’s, we went and saw Goblet of Fire. It was good… a bit disjointed and rushed, but they lingered on the parts that mattered, and gave the actors a chance to do some dramatic acting.
