Unfortunately, this year I’d neither the time nor the money to attend AnimeBoston. But E is working it as usual, so went down there today to have lunch with her and Carl and allow myself to be talked into taking a spin around the Dealers’ Room.<\/p>\n

I misestimated the length of time it would take to drive in — I came in past Alewife with the original intent of parking there and taking the T to Park Street, but en route decided instead to drive all the way in and park at the garage. The weather was nice and I wanted to get some walking exercise. Unfortunately, it’s a very solid 10-15 minute walk from the garage down to the con hotel and I was late by the time I’d parked.<\/p>\n

But I eventually arrived, sneaking in through an unexpected door to the surprise of E and Carl who were waiting at the other. Lunch was spinach, avocado and chicken quesadillas, which, in spite of being from Bennigans, were really good. Then to the Dealers’ Room, where I was exceptionally picky and resisted the lure of: Tsubasa hardcover editions, Kaidoh plushies, CCS cels and 50% off Rurouni Kenshin DVDs. But I did give in and purchase a Rat!Yuki. Because he is ever so much cuter than Wormtail.<\/p>\n

Then departed to the car. Took a different path through the commons on the way back. Surprise: etched in a square on the cement sidewalk was Totoro! (Will have to go back with a camera at some point.) It was hot and I was dying of thirst, so I got a slurpee and then drove home.<\/p>\n
