We went to OTAKON!!!

Some of the best parts of being an anime fan is being surrounded by other anime fans and where better to do that than at anime conventions! Over the weekend I went to Otakon, the largest anime convention in DC! It’s like 4 floors of gaming, panels, SHOPPING, and anime, anime, anime!

I found an Anime / ComiCon Calendar…

 

Copilot/Adobe Express AI: Anime ComiCon Calendar


In my effort to look for hobbies and things to do I found an interesting calendar that lists many anime and ComiCon events. I must admit --I'm not deep in the anime culture, so don't ask me anything that would require facts 😁😆, but I do like the vibe. 

 

I used to work at a hotel and we sometime hosted dog shows, and a few fun events where people dressed up as movie characters.  It really seemed like they had a lot of fun.  If you are interested in ComiCon, Cosplay, or Anime...then you should out some of the events on the calendar link below.

I also have a link on the bottom of my Classified and Other page.

 

Enjoy!

This is a short video from last year's celebration in the town of Windsor, NC.   It's a small rural town, but they did it!  They made the effort to put on a celebration: Juneteenth 2023 video. https://youtu.be/kfI_zv_dHvU?si=_-nsWcKy0lN9xRqq  

Also like Black History Month, Juneteenth should be celebrated... DAILY.
