Shout out to Anime Los Angeles! This anime convention is already sold out, so no one can just wander in. Enjoy taking those cosplay photos, can't wait to see what strange shots you'll come up with this year.
I have no idea why Evangelion 3.0 is premiering nowhere nearby (Pasadena Friday night), but come hang after ALA or at the screening of House. You can also explore LA's Little Tokyo and Sunday is the No Pants Metro Ride. It would been an even better No Pants Metro Ride if some cosplayers could join in on the fun.
