If I read Rie Tanaka’s blog correctly, the NYAF pictures will be sent to her fanclub.

As we are not part of her fanclub, we may be SOL unless someone from her fanclub uploads the pictures.

For the group shot with Rie after the panel, it’s either you go there, or go to the autographs as early as possible, so its a win-lose for those who have autograph tickets, unless those guys are VIP -_-. Nice scan/autograph of Rie, and great job on that bravery! I know some people were are just nervous and excited, all in one just to see her in order to make a good impression. All this time, I always feel that giving her a rose was a bad idea, even though I saw people armed with roses, I still thought it was bad idea. However, I would love to see a video of Omo and the rose, it sounds dedicated and awesome. Never give up!

I do agree with the flaws of the conventions, and I DID HATE smelling everyone’s sweat before the panel -_-.

But Benson is right, that Rie is REALLY there for the fans, and I felt that gentleness from her when I got my autograph. I forgot about Rie not being fluent in English, so I accidentally said “It’s nice to meet you” in English, and she said the same thing back to me in English, and in the end I said “arigatou” ^-^. Rie has an awesome voice in both Japanese and English! I just wished we could talk more.

Still, I can’t believe that someone was actually sneaky enough to do a picture in the autograph room.

You really have to wonder, did any of the guests spend ANY time in New York outside the convention? I read that ALL the guests went back on Monday morning, so I really felt bad for them, but its understandable.

Wow, you got yourself an autograph.
I dont know why i was afraid to ask for Nyanko La Vie.
Sorry to Valkyrie fans, i just lost it ;__;

As for me, i do not manage to get the autograph ticket, and did the begging all i could to the staffs.
I told myself, i just wanna go for it and fail at trying rather than not trying at all.

I don’t have the originals. They’re from a forum link (check my post on Omo’s blog about that)

What’s your AIM name? Or if you have Facebook that works too.

Just for the sake of easier communication.
