The Old School Otaku Lounge

Being both an old school anime and giant monster fan, I'm thinking this event may be worth attending:

Here in the Midwest, we are lucky if one Japanese industry GoH appears at a nearby con (excluding the constant returners to Acen or Animazement). I'd like to get Higuchi's autograph on a few things, and I even found a NT calendar pic by Kaida. Only downside would be the dedicated focus on kaiju and tokusatsu - doubt they would even show the EVA movies.

Ya know, it used to be, you get one Gainax guy to show up, often a few others would appear as 'unofficial' guests. Might be different now, with no company travel account to play with.

Still, I'd like a chance to meet Mr. Kaida and Mr. Higuchji. Oh well. another life.
