Wow, New York guests at a New York convention!

Okay, but seriously, New York Anime Festival. When are you going to announce the good guests? Co-director for the new Evangelion money grabs, that's nice, but your guest list is about as vigorously vetted as a stray dog with three legs and most of the kind folks on it are only marginally harder to get than genital herpes.

Admittedly, exhibitor participation is probably the biggest feature of the New York Anime Festival--which underlines the impression that there simply doesn't appear to be much at the Festival that you couldn't find anywhere else, the Festival just has collected more of it in one place for your mechanical consumption. But with a month still to go, there's still a chance for some genuine excitement to develop...

What? No comment about how most of them are from NYC so they'd probably show up anyway? Hell, I bet they aren't getting a hotel room and will just stay home and commute.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out where to stay for less than $299/night that doesn't involve a place with one shared bathroom on every floor.

Eh, I left that "amazing, you found New Yorkers to show up to your New York event" sentiment for the title. I'd offer you the apartment but it still has those renters in it. -__-

Sure hope it pays off for those folks who ponied up $100--175 for an AA table. Anyway, should be "interesting". The Javits Center isn't exactly a cuddly place to hang out, but I suppose if people know exactly what they're getting into...
