I drove down to the Austin Hilton today to pick up my badge for Ikkicon IV. It starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday (Jan. 1st - 3rd). It's the fourth year of the con and it doesn't look like it will be a big one. I live in Austin, TX now so it's a short drive. I'm hoping the dealers room will have some art books to tempt me. There's a panel on Saturday morning about "what we can learn from giant robot anime". I'll have to check that one out.
I took some photos of the area but my camera takes pretty dark pictures indoors. I'm hoping I can get a nicer camera in 2010.
Any of you reading this in Texas? Anyone planning on attending any anime conventions this year?

Re: Ikkicon IV - 2010
Haven't had time to work with my photos and I'm not feeling too well (cold) but here's a quick report of the first day.
A fun convention. Glad I went. About half the people were wearing costumes of varying degrees of quality. Met a long time Z Gundam fan from Hong Kong. No art books for sale in the dealers room. Looking forward to tomorrow's panel on mecha anime.
