Is there anyone who hasn’t wanted to chance to become your favourite character for a while?
This weekend has a lot to celebrate! Beyond the big Canada Day party is another celebration of stories bigger than ourselves: Animaritime! This three-day fun, fan convention centres on a number of eternal entertainments that appeal to kids and adults alike: animation (specifically Japanese anime), video games, roleplaying games and costuming (cosplay).
My guest today is Chris Ryder, Assistant Convention Operations Director of Animaritime. We discuss some of the things to look forward to this weekend, from special guests to anime viewings to speed-running video games and, of course: lots of costumes!
Music today:
- I’m hoping the weather works out for all the events this weekend. I think we’ll have a decent idea by the Morning Glow, but in any case, Stephen Lewis makes it sound pretty good on his album Life’s A Garden!
