While Naru 2 U is still about a month and a half away, you really need to pay attention to the ticket price!  Ticket prices go up (waaaay up) after October 15th! Right now, you can get your Naru 2 U ticket (and a VIP Bracelet) for $25 right here in the store.  After October 15th, you’ll only be able to get tickets at the door, and they’ll be $35!

“What are the VIP Bracelets?” I hear you ask.  If you buy your ticket before October 15th, you’ll get one!  The VIP Bracelet will let you get into the Dealer’s Room early on Friday, November 18 from 9PM – 11PM!  Getting first crack at the dealer’s room is important if you want to get the good stuff!

So to recap:

Now – October 15th: $25 Tickets (with VIP Bracelet)

After October 15th: $35 Tickets

That’s a difference of $10!  That’s $10 that could go towards something in the dealer’s room, preferably at our table!

Our good pals from the Ottawa Anime Convention Naru 2 U are going to be at our Halloween Party! They’ve graciously donated some tickets for Naru 2 U as prizes (anime fans, this is your chance) and they’ll also being selling tickets to a big New Years Eve party they’ll be hosting as well. They will also be giving you information on their great convention so you can finally make up your mind over whether you should go (you should.)

Remember, the Naru 2 U convention happens November 12 – 14 at the Travelodge on Carling Ave. See you there!

Psst! Did you know that the Ottawa area now has three (count them, three!) major annual anime conventions? Did you also know that Toys on Fire makes an appearance at all of them? That’s right anime fans, we’re letting you know extra early that Naru 2 U will be back this year, at the Travelodge (1379 Carling Ave.) on October 10^th-11^th. What is Naru 2 U? What’s an anime convention? What IS Anime? Well, Naru 2 U is an anime convention that debuted last November with an attendance of 600 people (a fair feat for a debut). Even we don’t know much more about it so far, except that Stephanie Beard, actress, voice actress, and former host of YTV’s the Zone will be returning to chat with fans. For updates and more info on Naru 2 U, check them out at www.Naru2u.com. Now, if you still don’t know what Anime is, it’s a particular type of animation from Japan, (Gundam, Sailor Moon, Naruto) but it also includes Japanese videogames like Nintendo or Final Fantasy. Anime conventions are a chance to learn about new anime, meet people with similar interests, dress as your favorite character, and have lots of fun! But don’t forget to come say hello to yours truly in the dealer’s room!
