My primary objectives at the open autograph session is to get autographs from Nishimura and T. Murata and I didn't know I was going to accomplish that in about 20 minutes. o_O I was acutally out of the large shikishi by then but I saw Maruyama Masao (the president of MADHOUSE) had NOBODY in his line, so I went over and pulled out one of my little shikishi and asked for his autograph. He's really nice and wanted to know where I'm from and why my name is "ix". ^^; I sort of feel sorry for the guests that had to sit there and do nothing. :\ (7/5/04)
