Well, con's over. And that's fine by us, 'cause we're all old now and tire easily.
Anyway, Anime Evolution at the University of British Columbia was pretty good. Like usual, as it's still a relatively young fan-run convention, it had its many shares of problems and issues (including a lost venue a month before the convention took place), but the attendance numbers held about even from the year before and already plans are underway for a new venue next year (The Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre).

Next year, I expect to find more Vancouverite otakuies there! We have a deal?
