The con that brought me to Ani-Gamers comes around once again tomorrow! Castle Point Anime Convention, better known as the non-politically oriented CPAC, is being held at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey from 9 am to 10 pm. It’s a 1-day con that’s close and a fun way to spend a spring Sunday. Guests include U.S. anime industry insiders Kyle Hebert and Mike McFarland; performer Hitomi Himekawa; writer/illustrator of the U.S. manga, Sacred, Lizbeth R. Jimenez; and more! Come on up or down and have yourself a good time. Plenty to do afterwards in Hoboken or NYC right across the river. My tentative schedule follows the break (overlaps to be solved by whim or coin).
