Tomorrow, I’ll be back at Steven’s Institute of Technology in Hoboken for the second annual Castle Point Anime Convention (CPAC). Last year’s convention was a significant event for Ani-Gamers: it was where we got our first interview, and where I met current staff writers Uncle Yo and Ink. This year, Ink and I will be back at the con, but this time we’re running our own panel. “You Wanna Be a Blogger/Podcaster?,” hosted by Ink, Hisui, DJ Ranma S, and I, will be about creating, maintaining, and promoting your own blog or podcast.
Meanwhile, our friends at C.R.A.Z.Y.O.T.A.K.U. are once again taking CPAC by storm with a panel in the Main Events Hall. Plus, Walter Amos and Rob Fenelon, two prominent anime fandom oldtimers, will be holding two panels at the con: “Otaku History 101” (about anime fandom in the “before time”) and “These Are a Few of Our Favorite Scenes” (where they show awesome clips from anime both new and old). Unfortunately, Uncle Yo won’t be in town, so the Ani-Gamers reunion isn’t gonna happen.
Anyway, if you’re planning on going to Castle Point this Sunday, come by our panel, which will be held from 11:00AM to 12:00 noon in Panel Room 1 (it’s in the Babbio Center). And if you want to meet up with us, either say hi after the panel or drop a note right here in the comments.
