Well, tomorrow morning I’ll be up bright and early, carpooling with my friends to Anime Expo 2007! This is the first time I’ll be spending all four days at the con (and only my second time attending AX). It’s sure to be quite a memorable experience ^_^ I’ll be going with my friend and fellow anime blogger, pkjd from moetron. We’ll be attending the anticipated SOS Brigade Invasion Tour concert as well as lots of other great events. Also, The Anime Blog is hosting a gathering of anime bloggers from all over =) You can find details about the meeting here. Unfortunately the time overlaps with the SOS Brigade concert but I’ll see if I can make it last minute ^^
If you’re interested in trying to find me at AX, here’s a photo of me (I’ll probably be wearing that same kimono at some point at the con). If you find me, don’t be afraid to come over and say hi ^^ I always enjoy meeting visitors to my site and talking with other anime fans.
Obviously, since I’ll be away at AX from June 29th until July 2nd, I won’t be able to answer e-mail, write posts, or moderate comments during these 4 days. Sorry for any inconvenience. But I’ll be back soon with more posts and of course, in-depth AX coverage! XD
Is that kimono selfmade? Seems like a really nice Komon. The hakata-obi is also very beautiful. Hakata is my favourite motive (^.^)

Thanks, I got that kimono as a gift – I don’t think it’s self-made but I’m not sure.
Mh, it’s really hard to tell from the picture. The way it is made it looks pretty authentic, but the fabric seemed a little bit shiny. But that could also be because it’s made of rinzu-silk. Anyway, it’s a really pretty piece.
By the way, if you’re interested in kimono and in the kimono culture, come and visit the immortal geisha forums! There are many people, showing of their gorgeous kimono and kitsuke skills. (me, too XD)
