FanimeCon 2014: Photo Gallery
Over Memorial Day weekend, fans gathered from near and far to the San Jose McEnery Convention Center for FanimeCon 2014. This year’s event started on Thursday night with the Swap Meet, and kept on going through Monday afternoon.
Since I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, FanimeCon is kind of my local show, so I try to check out what’s new for at least a few days, and listen in on the publishers’ panels. But FanimeCon is also well-known for attracting some top-notch cosplayers, and this year’s show certainly delivered. See some of the snaps I shared on Twitter feed and on my Tumblr, now all in one handy spot!
