Since I don't have a blog, I'll just post here. :D
Con attendance, if reports are to be believed, smashed all previous attendance records. All events were crowded, though for some reason, the hallways weren't that much busier than normal. I'm not sure where all the extra people went. I kind of don't want the con to get any bigger, please stay away~ ;_;
- Started with a trip to the dealers room then listened to some of the dub panels.
- First panel with Yuu Asakawa and Mitsuo Iwata on Friday was lightly attended, which might be one of the reasons why I vastly underestimated attendance at later panels. Iwata has a strange fascination with Target... I suppose it would be like going to Japan and hanging out at Lawson's and 7-11.
- Did not even get close to the ZUN panel. Had to rearrange my plans. Totally Lame Anime makes for a reliable nightcap though.
- Had my first card game battle in 10 years.
- Even the Touhou fan panel was full- gave up and got lunch and stuff.
- I got Ryo'ed by one of the hosts of the Idolmaster panel. ;_; There were some actual performances at the end, including a Makoto who did the dance moves from REST@RT and an adorable Haruka who sang. I thought Cael K. was the dancing dude up in front but apparently he was one of the singers.
- Yuu and Iwata concert was good and there was plenty of room. Dat hipshake.
- Bought some of ZUN's older CDs, realized I wanted something more recent, traded some of them at the Touhou swap meet.
- Finally got a glimpse of Zun and Toshio Furukawa at the Sayonara, AWA panel.
- Vocaloid concert at the end of the con was totally packed. I lost my temper and snapped at a security staffer who wasn't to blame for what happened before she arrived. ^^;

Got Ryo'ed? Not sure what you mean...
... but no, I don't dance. Not without arrows on a screen, at least. And when they brought up five other people I was like, "Crap. Not going to get a song I know." And then they chose Go My Way, which yes... I don't know by heart. And they had no lyrics. At least I was in good company. ^_^;
And hey, I got a Million Live CD out of it.
JNiles:
The panel host dressed up as Chihaya had a pretty decent My Dear Vampire outfit. I didn't realize he was a guy until he turned around. -.-;

Pictures and blog posts on Anime Weekend Atlanta 2013 are up, in case anyone's interested. I sure do have a lot to say about things sometimes.
Friday: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/caelk/20131003/1380766022
Saturday: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/caelk/20131003/1380781382
Sunday: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/caelk/20131003/1380784655
I imagine most people would be most interested in hearing about the guests, so here's that post. I did find a site that remembered what ZUN said better than I did, though, so I just refer to that one in the post.

I know that this is late, but the situation for Eriko Nakamura was very different at Anime North in Toronto. The line was so long that it was full by the time I got to the line 2 minutes after the autograph session was officially supposed to start. It was about twice as long as the other two lines.

Unfortunately, I left FanExpo about an hour before Asakawa's signing, so I don't know how busy that was.
AWA seems like it was pretty awesome, though. Even at Anime North there wasn't any sort of official iM@S meeting.
