adminHeading off to Ai-Kon this weekend with my wife. Three days of manga, anime, video games, folks in costumes and general Japa-geekiness.
I’m excited. This is my first anime con so I’m eager to see what a convention dedicated solely to Japanese comic culture is all about.
I’m a manga fan, sure, but, I realize, not to the extent some folks there are. Presently, I read MegaMan, Black Cat, Ruruoni Kenshin, and I enjoy their anime counterparts.
My wife’s a huge Final Fantasy fan and was thrilled when she found out last night they’re going to have a Final Fantasy-themed ball. Um . . . better hide the tux, cape and my three-foot-tall spiky wig.
If you’re in Winnipeg and will be at the con, feel free to come and say I if you see me plodding around, looking at the manga and trying to find where they’ll be serving Japanese cuisine.
The Ai-Kon website and details about the con can be found by going here.
