Momoi @ Anison USA Feb 20-21, 2016 Los Angeles, CA USA

Gee, I wonder who that is.

Nozomi is already a guest. Might as well have announced Momoi at that point.

The venue listed is the Bootleg Theater. Not the safest neighborhoods in the SoCal area, though the area is slowly being gentrified. Just...I wouldn't recommend wandering too far away on foot. Especially at night. There's a parking lot across the street apparently (behind the church) and street parking nearby.

As for the location, reviews seem to indicate it's a repurposed warehouse with decent acoustics and a decent sound set up. Never been there myself; I try to avoid the Rampart District normally. 

Edit: To the surprise of no one, Momoi was officially announced as a guest for Anison USA 2016. See y'all in February!

Note, there's also a VIP part on the Saturday (day before) at Desu Nation again. I assume Nozomi and Momoi will participate.

Not thrilled about it being in a dangerous area, but I like that it's not smack dab in the middle of finals this time. Hopefully I can make it!

[tenton]

Well, the concert is in the day time. So it should be okay. Just don't wander off by yourself down the street. Parking options seem to be close by, so there's no worry about that.

Belated Birthday Present to me!
Looking forward to seeing Momoi again, along with meeting new friends!

Thank you to (Osaka) of Anison USA!

Is anyone else going? I'm waiting to see if I can get ahead enough in my work to make the trip.

[tenton]

There will be a group of us that are going. Similar to the group to last year, except with more Ally and Sally. 

[Nekorin]

It's not looking like I'll be able to make it. Hope there's video, and that she comes back next year. >_<

[tenton]

Aww, we'll miss you. Today's VIP party was recorded by several press peoples, so maybe it will show up in some fashion. I'm not sure how the recording rules will work for the lives on Sunday as it could partially be up to the venue, but if there are the same amount of press people tomorrow, it might get video treatment as well.

[Nekorin]

So did they say if she's coming back next year? T_T

Well, Omar is shooting for a summer event, so next year wasn't talked about.

He said to look at the website next month for details. No guarantees on who will be the guests for that. We'll have to wait and see.

Edit: BTW, if anyone wants the Zipzang DVD or a copy of Stay Gold, I have the leftover goods. Hit me up. If you're in SoCal, I could probably arrange an inperson payment and delivery.

Thank you for keeping me updated!

Aww! Lots of things I'd have liked to see there... I haven't heard Platinum Jet, Rolling! Rolling!, or Rare Drop KOI Koi before. I would've been particularly excited about Let Me Love You, it's so old, I didn't expect it.
