Like clockwork every first week in October, the massive gathering of all sorts of different fandoms and pop culture enthusiasts, known as NYCC, starts up at the Javits center. This weekend over 100,000 fans braved the rain to geek out and spend their money on all sorts of nerdy paraphernalia.

Desk Diary : August 2016
Hard to believe it, but it’s been over a year since I’ve made a proper desk diary here on my blog. It can definitely be hard to find time to clean, and dusting all the figures off takes literally forever these days. But I had some time the other day to clean things around the house, and since I’m overdue to make a room post, I figured it was time to make a desk diary!
Anime Fan Fest 2016
This past weekend was the start of a brand new anime convention for the tri-state area, Anime Fan Fest! Run by Otaku USA magazine, Anime Fan Fest takes place at the Garden State Expo center, the same place that AnimeNEXT has been held for the past few years. With AnimeNEXT moving to Atlantic City this year, perhaps AFF might serve as the replacement anime convention for norther NJ. Despite being in its first year, I was surprised to see a decent amount of dealers and artists.
Castle Point Anime Convention 2016
This past weekend I finally got a chance to make it over to the Castle Point Anime Con, a student-run convention taking place in Hoboken NJ. This is my first time checking out CPAC as I’ve never been able to make it in past years since it’s only a one-day event (Sunday). Luckily I had some time this weekend to check it out, and got the chance to take few pictures!
