i've got auto-graphs 
anyway, i attended the anime expo 2003 in california and it was kickin.
i saw promo's and viewings of several anime titles:
Witch Hunter Robin: grade A material.
Automatic Maiden: love hina meets excel saga.
NeiA_7: Weird yet hillarious.
Haibane-Renmei: We caught only the end but it looks interesting.
Banner of the Stars: ok, damn. star wars meets well um... maybe um... i dunno, choose a good anime. Sequal to Crest of the Stars.
Excel Saga: i just can't get enough.
We attended 3 Anime Music Video panels, and i learned alot of great things. i'm thinkin maybe even i can do it.
for those who do not know what an AMV is go to this site:
http://www.animemusicvideos.org
I suggest these titles for preview:
Euphoria
Mitternacht
Engel
Kare Kano by Surreel Industries
note: its best if you have a broadband connection and i suggest updating to the latest CODEC's ex: divx, huffyuv, mpeg 4
my friend entered his own AMV's into the contest but missed it by 1 spot. i was pissed. they had 2 that were crappy in that catagory. he got jipped... even others said so.
anyway. there were ALOT of cosplayers [Costume Players] and they looked great. some ingenious, some lame, others just wrong.
i saw several Fey's and Spikes infact heres a link to one:

great isen't it.
the coolest Cosplay wasn't even an anime group but for me i was thrilled. they where a Star Wars Garrison based in LA. they had it all, i WAS SO THRILLED. if i can ever get pictures posted i'm SO gonna do it.
well back to that beebop link, wrong ain't it. 
i gotta give em props, that was dang brave.
another guy did this:

That is so f'in sweet. He was awarded BEST SINGLE COSTUME DESIGN. it was so like, YA! hard work deserves good rewards.
so the best thing i did was sit in on the Voice Actors Panel. They had 13 English Voice Actors there:
Crispin Freeman [Zelgodis, Slayers]
Sally Dana [Female Hibiki Amawa, I My Me Strawberry Eggs]
Beau Billingslea [Jet, Beebop]
Lia Sargent [Millie, Trigun]
Christopher Liam O'Brien [Hideaki Asaba, His and Her Circumstances]
Rebecca Forstadt [Lynn Minmei, Robotech]
Brianne Siddal [Tsukasa, .hack//sign]
Wendee Lee [Faye, Beebop]
Steve Blum [Spike, Beebop]
Carrie Savage [Fuko, Strawberry Eggs]
JB Blanc [Seras Victoria, Hellsing]
Taliesin Jaffe [Mori Koji, Strawberry Eggs]
Jonathan C. Osborne [Gordo, Fist of the North Star]
I got all but 2 of there auto-graphs. it was great. I even got to be in a picture with Brianne, and most suprising she ASKED me if i'd be willing to have my picture taken with her. it was so cool.
unfortently any pictures of the voice actors i can't post for viewing as i promised not to. and its all good, cause they want there privicy also.
the real cool thing was they where like normal people. they didn't have that higher then thou attitude. so i now respect them even more.
overall it was a kick-but vacation.

Yeah...I've met Amanda Winn-Lee and Doug Smith a few years back (as well as a few others)...they were just normal people...in fact, Doug joked about how much like Kentaro Oe (from the series called Goldenboy) he was (except for the toilet worship)...and if you've seen Goldenboy, then...
