Pacific Media Expo 2014 Nov 7-9
Pacific Media Expo continues to be a fan-oriented Asian culture event. This isn't a major outing like Comikaze Expo with some big names and big reunions. And it's nowhere near Wonder-Con or Comic-Con. It's like a big clubhouse meeting with fans of anime. Perfect for the cosplayer showing off their new stuff or meeting like-minded fans of anime and Japanese culture. TTDILA hasn't headed over in a few years as management of events is a little drawn out; there wasn't always something to do.
PMX 2014 will be held on November 7-9, at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport
