CLAMP Coup
Anime Expo, the west coast's quintessential anime convention, has scored a major triumph in the guest-of-honor field: the first American appearance of CLAMP. CLAMP is/are a group of four female comics writers/artists who started out in the late '80's producing Doujinshi (amateur fan-fiction comics), then graduated to creating some of the most successful manga of the last 15 years. The quartet was notoriously publicity-shy for several years, but have been emerging lately for fashion-magazine pictorials, book signings, and now a U.S. convention appearance.

When I saw the news, I came this close to giving a shout of happiness that would have made my coworkers fearful. This year is going to be a GREAT AX, not only the 15 year anniversary, but CLAMP too, and who knows what else they have planned? I do hope you two are planning on attending, and have gotten your pre-regs in (MAILED BADGES this year! Woohoo!!!)

We indeed have our pre-regs in. Barring mishap, we will attend.
