Anime NYC 2020
Anime NYC is a party, a market, and a festival; a dedicated showcase of Japanese popular culture; and a space for the anime and manga community to call our own.
I like to go out and have a good time. As you’ve seen from my pictures I frequent a lot of conventions and dance parties. I also like to binge eat at the occasional food festival. When I come across a new activity I’ll post it here. That doesn’t mean I’ll necessarily attend. Work and life tends to get in the way sometimes. This is more of a wishlist of fun shit I want to do.
I have the final say on which events get posted here but if you’re a promoter feel free to send me yours.
