For some reason, a bowling furmeet (and a drift meet) was scheduled during the same time of an anime convention that are on the opposite sides of the bay…. This is why I wasn’t able to go to the furbowl meet, and I had to give this convention a shot…
For those in the San Francisco Bay Area, this anime convention could be second place to FanimeCon when it comes to size and entertainment. Even though it’s a small anime convention, there was plenty to do with it is being held in the famous Japantown San Francisco. Since this was a small convention, there were plenty of time to chat with some awesome artists such as Yuumei (http://yuumei.deviantart.com/) and John Joseco (http://johnjoseco.deviantart.com/). There were plenty of cosplays of Homestuck, Sailor Moon, and Ponies, so this was an entertaining meetup as well. This was my first time attending the convention and I was surprised to see some Further Confusion people hanging about. I also saw a few questionable “furries” roaming around, but no fursuits. I only saw one person wearing a werewolf suit and that’s it (same one from my photo shoot last year at Fanime).
Next year, we need to take over… with fursuits. If you haven’t been to Japantown SF, it is a perfect area for photos since the area is designed to look like an authentic Japanese architecture complete with Japanese gardens for tourists. So if you haven’t heard of this convention yet, it is definitely something worth checking out if you can’t wait for FanimeCon any longer.
Japantown San Francisco also holds anime events throughout the year such as the J-Pop Festival and more, so I will be posting some upcoming events here and on my Twitter (https://twitter.com/Fvrlife) for those interested :)
Update: One event also coming to San Francisco Japantown is the J-Pop Summit Festival, well known J-Pop stars appear here, as well as some decent cosplay. Just announced to be held on July 27 & 28.
