Another Amazing Weekend: Another Anime Con 2023
October 31st, 2023 
Cinna Knight In 2023, we’re experiencing a resurgence of anime conventions; new events appear but ongoing events also continue to expand their reach. Another Anime Con may be well, another convention by its name, but is far more than that.
It’s been ages since I attended a New England-based convention, with my last con being Magfest about five years prior. I only attended larger scale New England Cons and didn’t know what to expect.
DJ RanmaS wanted me to come along–he reached out to me with the offer to go. I was rather tired of being in my neck of the woods, and being in Massachusetts was legitimately a breath of fresh air.

Kogaracon 2023: The Convention’s Fantastic Return!
October 14th, 2023 Cinna Knight Kogaracon is a small convention that has experienced exponential growth. Despite the con’s three year hiatus, there were many new offerings, and a unique approach to their cosplay walk-ons which even as a long-term attendee, were quite innovative.
Kogarcon took place in Edison, New Jersey and held the event at Middlesex County College on Saturday, May 6th.
I stopped by a day before to pick up my badge. This was the first time Kogaracon offered pre-registration prior to the convention and badges were $10 for the main event. It was tough to find the pre-registration area and I tried looking for signage on campus to find the correct place. But once I did, it was smooth sailing! Pre-registration wasn’t busy at all–with a quick and easy run to the table for a signup.
