2009 Sakura-con Report

Posted on July 20, 2009
Travel / Weather / Accommodation
Travelling down to Sakuracon this year was no different than any other year. There wasn’t much of a border wait as we crossed it, which was fortunate. The trip down was also fairly pleasant as well. The weather report claimed that it would rain during the weekend. But thankfully that only happened on Sunday, as everyone was preparing to leave.

*Proof of the good weather as we headed down to Seattle.
