CK’s Thoughts on MoMusu at Anime Expo
*Note: Post edited after the end of Anime Expo.



















I’m nearly positive there is wifi available at the Convention Center — you just have to pay for it. I think it’s something pretty doable like $10 a day.
Thanks for the heads up. ^_^
Our press contact tells us otherwise but we’ll be on the look out if anything changes.
Weird. Maybe it’s down at the moment, but I’m pretty sure it was there. Maybe he just meant they can’t comp wifi for reporters.
The center’s Web site agrees with me: “Los Angeles Convention Center is a Wi-Fi Zone.” So I would definitely at least check when you get there.
