| Thursday night and here we see the very
helpful volunteers pack togetehr the tons of Registration packets that will go out to the
massive crowds. |
Anticipation is high as we get an exclusive peek at the first
attendee in line... who looks a lot like last year's first attendee. |
 |
 |
| Above and below, the lines start piling up on thursday night as pre-registration and
registration hurriedly perform in tandem to process all the excited attendees ready for
the weekend. Since no events nor activities are going on at the time, most attendees
figure why not stay in line and get their registration over with now and not worry about
doing it the next day. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Here's where the action is, boys and girls:
the heart of registration where a huge line of terminals and friendly cashiers process the
thousands of attendees on the spot. |
 |
 |
| This staffer provided a handy water mister to
jokingly reward attendees with a cool mist bath who have stood in line for a long time.
Others provided cups of ice water for the dedicated hundreds who would stand in
line for at-con registration. |
Thursday night's Merchandise table was located in the lobby just
aside from registration, and then moved to the Exhibit Hall on the operating convention
days. |
 |
 |
| Not an ordinary convention indeed; AnimeExpo
appears to bring in more oddities with every year... |
 |
 |
| From friday to sunday, AX Merchandise was
located just outside of the Exhibit Hall entrance in the Anaheim Convention Arena. |
What did you get with your AX Registration? A badge, a bag,
and some books! The usual convention fare, only in AX style! |

AnimeExpo99's t-shirt back. The t-shirt this year was one of
the bestselling items coupled with a very cool black version that quickly sold out. |
AnimeExpo99 also teamed up with industry sponsor Bandai's AnimeVillage.com to provide very cool AX
style lanyards to hold badges. |
