A couple more notes about the Tenchi Seiyuu.

Jeff Okamoto was responsible for showing Orikasa Ai and Takada Yumi
around on Saturday.  According to Jeff, they arrived on Friday night,
"almost spent the night in Jeff's room", spent Saturday at the con, and
went to Universal Studios on Sunday.

I also saw the seiyuu on Sunday, as I was having a buffet breakfast in 
the hotel restaurant.  The seiyuu were sitting only 30 feet away from
my table, and munching on various fruit.  Being a nice and polite otaku,
I managed somehow to prevent myself from bothering them ^_^;;.  But for
some reason, after discovering their presence, I found my eyes riveted on
their table, and my appetite completely disappeared ^_^;;;;

Actually, towards the very end, they allowed a few people without tickets to
get autographs.  The whole session lasted perhaps an hour - I think there 
were 200-300 people in line.

On a side note, I also talked to Matt Greenfield from AD Vision, and said
that he should try to hold a seiyuu event like the Pioneer event, and 
perhaps even bring over seiyuu for Evangelion, like, say, Kotono.
I don't think he went for it though (;_;)
