<p>Not many pictures as sadly there was not much time, but it seemed to be a hit once she got in the car since everyone was taking pictures! I&#8217;m so glad Danny choose Kisuka&#8217;s car! When Danny called me to let me know he chose Kisuka&#8217;s car, Kisuka was so excited! He plans to keep his car an Itasha for as long as he possibly can! Now I need to make my car an Itasha since I&#8217;m so jealous!</p>

<p>Of course the promo we have up for this year, this show is seriously going to be amazing! As mentioned we&#8217;ve got prizes, but since we&#8217;re getting such a huge venue to fit over 5,000 people there is no way we&#8217;ll be turning people away like last year. Also we&#8217;ll possibly be figuring out a way to do online giveaways for the show as well, but for now that&#8217;s still up in the air. With a guaranteed more than 50 figures and some huge sponsors for the show you won&#8217;t wanna miss out on this show! Also make sure to dress up, we&#8217;ll be doing a cosplay contest too brought to you by <a href="http://www.cosplaycute.com/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.cosplaycute.com/?referer=');">Cosplay Cute </a>so you&#8217;ll want to make sure dress up too!</p>
<p><strong>When:</strong> Saturday July 3rd 1pm (seating is at 12:30 please show up early!)<br />
<strong>Where: </strong>Nokia Plaza<br />
<strong>Who: </strong>Hosts <a href="http://anime-gen.com/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/anime-gen.com/?referer=');">Benu from Anime Genesis</a>, Me and Special Guest <a href="http://www.dannychoo.com/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.dannychoo.com/?referer=');">Danny Choo</a>!<br />
<strong>Why: </strong>Well I think it&#8217;s quiet obvious why you should come! Free prizes, music, and fun!</p>

<p>He was a really nice guy and it was awesome meeting him, he had lots of really good advice for people wanting to live and work in Japan. He did a nice little talk that my brother recorded as well!</p>

<p>While it was all very good information not only about how he made it in Japan but also good information on how he learned Japanese, it didn&#8217;t really apply to anything I personally needed other than the main message of follow your dreams. As I may be very much into this Japanese pop culture with anime, figures, manga and more, I don&#8217;t have a goal of living in japan. My goals are different; get married, have a family, become a successful photographer, travel, and just to live my life o the fullest. It was awesome to see someone who has made his dreams come true and that it isn&#8217;t an easy road. I know that to make my dream come true it&#8217;ll take hard work but I&#8217;m willing to put in the hard work it&#8217;ll take!</p>

<p>So unless you&#8217;ve been living under a rock you&#8217;ve heard that Danny Choo <a onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/2685/Girls+Bedroom.html?referer=');urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/2685/Girls+Bedroom.html?referer=http://www.howagirlfigures.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft');" href="http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/2685/Girls+Bedroom.html">linked to me</a> the other day when i posted about <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/05/19/a-girls-room-no-wai/">my room</a>. Lots of people have been asking me how did it affect my stats. Did it jump up dramatically? or was it still about them same?<br />
<span id="more-174"></span><br />
I have to say ever since I&#8217;ve had a steady stream of people coming in to take a look at my blog. When i had my blog at Dancingqueendq.wordpress.com i had a good amount of views per day. It was steadily climbing and i was getting about 600 views on average a day. Then once i changed over to How a girl figures and Howagirlfigures.com it dropped a bit since i guess wordpress didn&#8217;t always link it back to the new URL, then people got the idea and my viewership started to do a steady climb. From 500-600 views a day to 1,000-1,200 a day. But now with Danny linking me it shot up to almost 4,000 views in one day. Even still with that post not on Danny&#8217;s front page I&#8217;m still getting a ton of hits a day. I guess people just didn&#8217;t know i existed. What&#8217;s best about Danny linking me isn&#8217;t that just that post got read, but since his target readers are my target readers they ended up taking a look around. Not only looking at that post then leaving, but looking at older posts, looking at the Figures section and such. I also have to admit i got my first ever <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/05/19/a-girls-room-no-wai/#comment-607">negative comment</a>. More of a troll than anything else this person claimed I&#8217;m gay for not having enough boys plastered on my wall&#8230; But as Benu from <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/05/19/a-girls-room-no-wai/#comment-607">Anime Genesis</a> told me, if someone is leaving negative comments it means your doing something good. And it means that even though they may have hated my blog and my post, the took their time to look around and leave me a comment. Yes it was a terrible comment lacking English and grammar skills. But if i see a blog and i don&#8217;t like it i just don&#8217;t go back, i don&#8217;t leave nasty comments.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/3640/statswt0.png" alt="" width="429" height="230" /></p>
<p>As you can tell for my stats when i had just started my blog through my own domain and server the hits were kinda low. But once i started making at least one post a day i got more and more hits a day. But then you see how on the 19th my stats just jumped up like crazy. It&#8217;s the best day i&#8217;ve ever had on my blog! Even the next few days afterwards my stats have still been pretty awesome.</p>

<p>This is a big time want! I finally started to finish up Seto No Hanayome after <a href="http://scottd.wordpress.com/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/scottd.wordpress.com/?referer=');">Deftoned</a> <a href="http://scottd.wordpress.com/2007/10/02/seto-no-hanayome-final-thoughts/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/scottd.wordpress.com/2007/10/02/seto-no-hanayome-final-thoughts/?referer=');">kept mentioning</a> how amazing it really was. It is honestly really entertaining and fun. It&#8217;s a must see, honestly i don&#8217;t understand why it wasn&#8217;t more popular&#8230; Masa san on it is the best really, I&#8217;ve been dying for a dakimakura for about forever but i don&#8217;t really want to get one with a half naked girl on it, my friends already think I&#8217;m weird for having half naked wall scrolls and figures, i think a full body pillow will push them over the edge. If anything I want this to be made into a Dakimakura, Kamina &lt;3.<br />
