The first one is that the Yaoi Press industry panel is at the same time as a keynote speech on anime, manga, and digital distribution. The keynote is unlikely to feature any news, but should be interesting. Yaoi Press, on the other hand, will doubtless contain news, but it'll only appeal to a portion of you users.
The second one is that CMX and Aniplex are at the same time as the keynote on manga from the USA becoming commercially successful, which I think I'll skip-- Aniplex has been doing some interesting stuff lately.
So let me know in the comments which you want me to cover so I'm sure to be there!

...So I'll be pretty busy. I'll have some helpers from amongst the Vice Squad though, like users Kuro, AceofClub5, and DJTyrant. Maybe we could have some kind of unofficial Vice gathering on Saturday, too. Any takers?
























BUT! Do an impromptu Vice gathering so I can view the videos and be there spiritually.
