Usually they are held in places where kids can lounge around and read, talk, play Nintendo DS all while cosplaying. This is a lot easier in a big hotel or a convention center like Anime Boston where the hotels connect directly to the plaza and convention center. Jacob Javits tends to be cold and unwelcoming for that kind of stuff. I think the trickiest part for them to pull of will be the social community vibe of most anime cons.

NYC is a great market for this event. It will be a small event I believe because it is close to Christmas. People are thinking about Christmas over an anime festival. I may go for at least a day (Saturday), but that depends on whether I go to Smofcon in Boston. As a anime con runner, I wish it the best. NYC is a great market for this event.
