Last Saturday my colleague Don and I hosted an anime and manga mini-convention at "his" library. The preteens, teens and adults who attended (including us) all had a great time!
We had two webcomic artist/writers who are into anime do a drawing workshop. Then two master costumers presented ways to make cheap and easy costumes ("duct tape is your friend"). These talented ladies were also judges for our costume contest. Then we saw a TV episode:
Irresponsible Captain Tylor: The Rules of Being 16 and talked and talked about favorite anime and manga (I heard at least 5 titles I'd never heard of.
And
we made it into the Baltimore Sun!
It's a pity the Sun didn't include the pictures--some of the costumes were excellent, and the photos of the teens and preteens really captured their interest and involvement.
In two months, we do another mini-con here.
