So the OAS returns from an awesome-packed Con-G this past weekend (Feb 20-21). Our members present were Mark, Alex, Mike, Gee, Nik, Christina, and Adrian. Everyone except Adrian stayed over at my place in Guelph and it was lots of fun. Sadly, I could not attend the convention for more than a couple hours in the day and attended only a bit of the dance, but from what I saw, it was running quite smoothly.
I noticed this year the organizers weren’t as stressed as last year and everything appeared to be running just great. There was a decently sized dealers room with retailers like The Dragon, GeoMangaArt, Skyefish Sushi, AnimeToys, Sakura wigs, Conspiracy comics, and more. There were several talented artists present in the Artist’s Alley, including our very own Mark P Tjan.
We setup our ConBravo table right outside of the Events room and we were able to talk to almost everyone who walked by. We met lots of great people whom we hope to see in July at ConBravo.
Some guests I looked forward to seeing were Lar deSouza and The 404s but I had to leave to return to my books, so I didn’t get to see them. I assisted Mark in running the AniManga Quiz show and what at first seemed like it was killing the audience, turned into an overtime of anime quizzing fun! Thank you to our participants.
Look forward to more detailed reviews from our other members on the masquerade, dance, panels, and more!
I also wanted to tell the organizers and head volunteers that they rock! Hope you guys had a blast:
Lindsay Pattillo, Christian Sandrock, Caitlin Thompson, Teri Smith, Caitlin Walsh, Jo Daly, Natalie Wallace, and Angela Dalton.
