Howdy...

It's great to know that I'm not the only cel collector over here
in the bay area.  I live in Pleasanton...which is relatively close
to all of you, 

Jen welcome to the bay area...it's a nice place to live...getting
pretty expensive but nice none the less.  Kinda freaky that you and
john turned out to live in the same town...

As for anime cel shops...I don't think there is really anything around
here...not in the caliber of a mandarake or anything.  There are shops that
have a couple of cels but really the best bet is to stick to online sites for your
cel needs. :(

There is a convention once a year in the San Jose area it's called Fanime and it 
is usually held at the end of march to beginning of april...so I hope to see all of you
there.

I would love to meet with all of you...does anyone know of a place where we can get together.
Jen, a restaraunt would be a great place...but then I realized that food and anime cels don't really
mix...heh but if that's the only place that we can think of then I guess we'll have to remember our manners
and wipe vigorously before handling the cels...

let me know what you guys think :)
