Animaid cafe: after working so many cons around the US, Animaid cafe no longer was at AX and had gone over to MAX using the whole Club Nokia they filled out the room as most of the money went to charity and preformed shows all night while playing games and serving there masters and mistresses.

Yoshiki charity event: the biggest event of the night Yoshiki donated his own money to needy organizations, showed of clothes inspired by his own imagination, showed off hello kitty items in his image and did a mini concert as well as filming a new music video with the fans who attended the event.

A few weeks ago Chase Wang went on Anime News Network's podcast where he talked about AM2 (new name for Club2themax) about working and running the con and previous work with Anime expo was pretty interesting, funny to since it seemed like they wanted to egg on Chase to snap on Anime Expo, but what really caught people was talking about doing something with Disney since its next door to the convention center.

Unless I severely misunderstand and misinterpret, S.H.I.E.L.D. might be an area in which my background might actually be useful. I'll check into it. Thanks.
