Friday dawned grey and rainy in DeKalb County, Georgia just east of
Atlanta, where the convention splashed into action. |
Dodging the raindrops to become one of the first inhabitants of the
artists' alley was Shawn the Touched, the animator who bought fresh music

A rare out of costume shot of Tikki, who was ready to wear her Ironcat
outfit for Studio Ironcat's table, and promised a new costume. |
Inside the dealers room we found John Sirabella of Media Blasters setting
up a booth (Robert Woodhead of AnimEigo was a few feet away). |
And Badger was on hand to break out new merchandise for Japan Depot
to sell, items just obtained after a trip to Japan. |
Jerry Chu (right) of Bandai tried to be inconspicuous, but he couldn't

dealer's room. |
