Zions day one reflection
“Man… I Love NDK!”
NDK has always been my favorite convention, and today has re-enforced that fact. This convention treats people like people. I was yelled at to stay in line a few times, but that being my own fault for my curious eyes would go wandering to cosplayers and my friends. Each year when I return to NDK I’m reminded about just how much I miss it, Man… I love NDK! This convention has an atmosphere unlike anything else that no other con can match, not even mega-cons like AX. This convention has love, spirit, and a warm glow that comforts and embraces much like grandma’s house. 
NDK has grown bigger and bigger, but still retains that small con funky attitude and feel. This convention sticks to its roots and traditions and continues to deliver a solid weekend of fun for everyone.I can’t put words to the dedication of the staff and volunteers, I know how much work goes into organizing and running this monster every year, and the people are there to meet the challenge.
If you read Yudothat’s post below this post, it pretty much summarizes where and what we did on Friday, this post is strictly reflections.

Zion Article, Conventions, NDK 2009
After a good long weekend of con-going there were lots of photos to sort through. A big thanks goes out to all the cosplayers that attended the convention as none of these would be here without you! Head on over to the Nan Desu Kan 2009 Gallery for pictures! More pictures are likely to be added tomorrow or the day after as I still need to get photos from two other cameras. Enjoy!
Noob Edit: All pictures from cameras are uploaded!

The Animeroot crew rolled out and arrived at the DTC around late morning on Friday. The first thing that we noticed was that the hotel parking lot was already piling up at 10:30AM. After sorting a few minor issues with our rooms, we collected our badges and setup HQ in the rooms.
The first event on our list was Opening Ceremonies which left us with some time to kill, we decided to troll for photos of the cosplayers before finally hitting the dealers room. Zion, Crash and myself picked up a few items. One of the items Zion picked up being particularly interesting in the sense that it was a figure with fuzzy ears and a tail. Zion might make a quick review about this sometime.
Once it neared time for the Opening Ceremony we headed over to erect the audio/video setup as well as take a few still photos. Overall, I think the Opening Ceremony was
rather informative as to who the guests were, especially since we have a few first time con-goers in our group this year.
There were also some big announcements made, the main one being that there is a NDK New Years Costume Ball planned. If this will be a classic “Mask and Tux/Dress” ball or a Cosplay ball it isn’t really certain but we have a feeling it is going to be leaning more towards the cosplay type. Closely followed by Opening Ceremonies was Miki Nagasawa’s Panel. At the request of the guest no audio/video recording was allowed at the panel, however a few pictures are available in the gallery.

ADV...
Let me be the first to announce my very own panel at this years Nan Desu Kan 2009. The name of the panel? “The Death of the Anime Industry”
I know that the name is scary but I want to scare people because the situation with anime is pretty scary right now. With the recent closure of ADV, the financial downturn is rearing its ugly head yet again.
