I know the picture doesn’t make it look like much but this was just after set-up. Imagine this, but surrounded by a sea of costumed anime fans. Intense.
Gray, Martin, Steve, and Phu just got back from Anime North yesterday, and we’re off again to another convention. This time it’s the Ottawa Children’s Festival. It takes place down at the War Museum from June 1st to 5th and the admission is free! Come on down to do some activities, learn about some good products for children, and maybe do a little shopping too. Our friends from the Game Summit will be there too!
It’s that time of year again! Anime North 2011 is coming this May 27-29 at the Convention Centre by the international airport in Toronto. Entry passes are available for order at the Anime North website. Toys on Fire will be there bringing lots of goods like Plushies, Jewelry, and Decorative Swords from all of your favorite Anime, Video Games, and Sci-Fi series.
For those of you who are interested in these topics, I highly recommend that you go one year and check it out. There are normally about 25000 people each year who make it, and a large portion of them get into some wicked costumes!
The schedule includes discussion panels with the industry, dance balls, live music and art shows, lan parties, and much more! It looks like this year there will be a performance by Japanese Elektro Punk Rock Band “The Fool”
So last weekend was Anime North and for the first time ever featured the Toys On Fire crew! Everyone there had a blast and we’re confident we made an impression on the anime crowd. For those who don’t know, Anime North is the biggest Anime Convention in Canada, bringing in over 18000 people from all over the world! Props to all the great costumes we saw, and boy was there a variety! Now that it’s over though, we can’t wait for next year when we get to do it all again!
This weekend Toys on Fire has special agents everywhere. The majority of our staff is at Anime North (probably Canada’s largest Anime convention) but we also have people at the Ottawa International Children’s Festival with Game Summit and of course two of us here at the store!
So come on down to the store to enjoy the Chris & Dave show all weekend long! It’s a laugh riot!
