AFA Countdown
All this happened in the past 24 hours. Having an amazing time - All looks like play but its actually hard work ^^; But fun - incredibly fun ^o^
Spoke at the Animation Asia Conference and met folks like the producer of Summer Wars and the Girl Who leapt through time (Mamoru Hosoda) and the CEO of Kadokawa (Haruhi/Lucky Star).
Then there was a press conference for the AFA taking place tomorrow from 10AM at the Suntec Convention Center.
Met Kaname, May'n and Uchiro Mizuki too. Shokotan came late but will probably catch up with her tomorrow.
Got onto CNN again with CNNGo and the Cospa South East Asia site launched on Mirai Gaia.
Also been spending a load of time working on my booth with Good Smile Company.
I need to hit the sack now to get some kip for an early morning for final rehearsals for my bit on stage tomorrow at 15:30. Rehearsals include my bit MC'ing with Reiko for the K-ON! Seiyuu on stage at 13:15.

Anime Festival Asia
After landing in Singapore and spending an hour to catch up on mails at the hotel, went with comrades at Sozo, 0ne and Genesis Frontier for some scrumptious hawker center food. Then went to visit the Sozo offices. Sozo are the folks organizing the Anime Festival Asia that is taking place from this Saturday 21st at the Suntec Convention Centre.
The Sozo offices is like an otaku haven - perfect working environment for otaku who want to work with brand names in the anime business.
