Alright, so remember when I lied about Panda not being at the con?
Well, the lie has officially turned into a half-truth.
Panda, Panda's husband, and the CORGI will be floating around Sakura-Con and the local area Friday evening, probably around 8pm and after. They'll just be chilling a bit, taking pictures and the like, and probably won't be too involved in the con itself (especially since you can't really take a dog into these places).
If you're feeling lucky with your hunting, the best potential places to find the elusive Panda would either be the main lobby of the Red Lion hotel (about 3 or 4 blocks away from the convention center), just outside the convention center itself, or at the parks around that area.
So if you see a jovial Japanese woman, a tall, probably bearded man, and a corgi with a red collar... chances are you have just found the elusive Panda!
Something to think about. Otherwise, we'll see you all at 3pm on Saturday! If you see Valkyria Chronicles cosplay, you're probably on the right track for that one. See ya then!
