Spam deleted.
DO you have to pay For anything?
Nope. It's free to get in.
It was not as good as I thought it would be. Left me kind of disappointed. It was too cramped and not enough seats to see what was actually happening. Although the cosplayers were good and the atmosphere was very anime. The raffle might of been the best part, even though me or any of my friends did not win. Oh and I did happen to see people from the anime festival that I recognized that was a Plus...
I think you guys should of Made the layout allot better by moving some book shelves o the back for more space. ALso we should of had more events. But hey it was short notice and free so I cant blame you guys.
