Los Angeles & Anime Expo 2012 – Day 1

Since the industry panel was scheduled for Friday, I made arrangements to arrive in Los Angeles a day early.

However, the hotel where I stayed for the rest of the Anime Expo weekend didn’t have any rooms for Thursday, and I spent the night at a different downtown hotel.

It was a relief to stretch out after a day of running and sitting.

I really appreciated the no-hassle internet access…

L.A. Night 1 - Tonkatsu

But what I appreciated most was dinner!

Because the hotel’s on-site Japanese restaurant offered room service, I had an amazing tonkatsu dinner as I continued to work through my never-ending inbox. This photograph is making me hungry again. 😋
