Welcome to the Anime Expo 94 Masquerade! Yes, we finally
called it the "Masquerade" after the wildly popular Phantom of the
Opera came out, hehehe. Special thanks to the Masquerade judges: Trish
Ledoux, Helen McCarthy (Anime
UK), Miss Robin Schindler (International Costumers Guild), and Scott
Frazier. Now grab your popcorn, queue the lights, roll tape, and on
with the show!
