Conventions 2018 – Kawaii Kon

We’re split between two conventions this weekend! It’s been a little too cold for our liking so our Conventions Manager, Tara, has packed her bags and is headed to sunny Hawaii for Kawaii Kon, (while Scott is headed to Emerald City Comic-Con — schedule here)!  Yeah, we’re a little jealous of those Hawaii beaches… but we’re mostly jealous of the cool stuff Tara has planned for anime fans! Check out the schedule!
