Manga Fair success!!!!

The T.A.G. group had been planning this one day "Mini-convention" style program for about three months through activities, crafts and extreame on-going events planning and cooperation.

Events ran in many cases concurrently (at the same time) as we divided the small programming room into three seperate "zones" to include as many seperate activities as possible and to appeal to multiple tastes and interests.

We had 10 volunteers the day of and those who could not attend passed on their condolences.

What was our goal exactly?
To spread manga and japan-a-culture awareness and fun to all!

Our event was an absolute huge success with over 56 attendees most of which longing to see when the next one would start!

Here's a rough schedule of what was going on (events happening concurrantly):
10 am: Set-up.
10:30 am: Cosplay documentary video and a special Manga movie screening.
11 am: Katamari Demacy, Kung-fu Panda and Naruto Free-for-all!
11:30 am: Manga Rap discussion: What's your favorite Manga Fandom?
1:00 pm: Special guest artist Jason Loo! and Jason Loo's How to Draw your own Manga comic!!!
2:30 pm: Naruto Game tournament for up to 14 players.
3pm: Manga Rap disussion: Cosplay.
4pm: Wrap-up!

We have pictures as well (Thanks to Sehar our photographer) which I'll post shortly....
