My first Anime Expo was a blast.

I won the grand prize at the Atlas booth (An Atlas bag, a good PS2 Wireless controller, 5 GBA games, and 3 PS2 games, Skygunner, Disgaia, and Dual Hearts)..

...and I got fanart.

I was wearing a catboy outfit - street cloths, cat tail, cat ears - and a Naruto headband. This is 04, before Naruto became real common...

I got fanart.

That just fills me with glee, to this day.
