In this issue, there's an ad for Anime Expo 1993 at the Oakland Convention Center. For people who first went to AX in the 2000s like me, AX was not just in the LA area. My favorite location was when AX was held in Anaheim. Having the hotels connected to immense Anaheim convention center made the large con feel more close and interactive.

Surprise! How about some Rumiko Takahashi? I kid, I kid.

Practice Makes Awesome

A Few Tips Upon Reading

First off, find a secluded area and pour yourself a beverage of choice. You must cleanse the palate to take in the delicacies of the nostalgia I'm about to throw down.

Second, if it’s cold where you live, grab a blanket, maybe two. If at all possible, sit down while reading. I hate standing, never stood for it, never will.

Finally, see if you can find the encrypted message left in the third magazine post.
