yeah l.a....i'd have to take the 110 freeway south...

Would they issue a LA library card to someone from NorCal....time for an experiment (the next time I'm down there).

hehe idk..

oh, sorry, with light traffic about 25-30 minutes....due south. it's actually not that far for me...if that traffic was pretty bad i could just get off the freeway and take the streets...prolly 30-40 minutes.

no actually. i haven't been to anime expo in several years...they've grown so big they are quite the media event...largest con in america for however long now....an interesting but useless fact...i think the best one was AnimeCon 91 (i was a little gimp then...my parents took me) up in San Jose...that was the predecessor of Anime Expo and at the time was actually backed up by a major Japanese animation house, Studio Gainax.

did you attend those conventions...they're wild now huh? HUGE!
