JAPAN'S POLYSICS COMING TO NYC

Ahoy! This is New York Anime Festival Show Manager Lance Fensterman with your weekly behind-the-scenes glimpse at what's going on in the world of NYAF and in the NYC anime community. Tuesday was the season premiere of the final season of LOST, which is exciting and tragic all at the same time. I don't know what excitement Season 6 will deliver, but I can give you some awesome news about Japanese events in NYC.

Japan's Polysics are coming to NYC on February 13! I have only one word, synthesizers. You don't want to miss this.

And, actually, a bit before that, Hikaru Utada will be coming to NYC on February 8th! Utada's show was sold out long ago, but I'm sure there'll be some tweets about it on @ny_anime_fest.

Grab your Polysics tickets before they sell out, too!

While NYCC/NYAF aren't until October, we're cooking up an event in Boston very soon. PAX East and the PAX team has put the call out for more volunteers. If you love gaming and love Bean Town, click here for details.

And, don't forget NYAF tickets are on sale now! Friday passes are $25, Saturday passes are $30, Sunday passes are $25, and Weekend passes are just $45. Get yours now at www.newyorkanimefestival.com, and keep your eyes on www.mediumatlarge.net and www.twitter.com/ny_anime_fest for all the latest news!

Winter Anime Day at Kinokuniya
Anime Matsuri joins with the Yume Cosplay Prize

Hello! This is New York Anime Festival Show Manager Lance Fensterman with your weekly behind-the-scenes glimpse at what's going on in the world of NYAF and in the NYC anime community.

Winter Anime Day at Kinokuniya
While NYAF is far, far away, we're working with Kinokuniya and a number of friends to hold parties and other events all year round, and our next event is this Saturday in NYC! From 1 PM to 6 PM at 1073 Ave of the Americas, the Winter Anime Day is a safe space to cosplay away from the cold, and it'll feature guests including Veronica Taylor, Reni-Chan, and Misako Rocks! Click the above link for all the details. And, don't forget to say to the end for your chance at winning some awesome prizes in our raffle. (Note that "awesome prizes" means things we steal from Peter's office.)

Anime Matsuri joins with the Yume Cosplay Prize
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever make it to Japan. It seems so far away and so out of reach. Do you feel this way, too? Well, NYAF wants to do something about it, hosting its second annual Yume Cosplay Masquerade this year at the show, October 8-10. The grand prize? A trip to Tokyo and tickets to the Tokyo Anime Fair. And to open the contest to fans around the USA, we're partying with various regional cons, and we're proud to announce Texas's Anime Matsuri in April is the lastest con to sign on. Winners of the Anime Matsuri Yume Cosplay Prize Regionals will win a trip to NYC to compete at NYAF for a trip to Japan! Yatta!

That's it for this week. See you at Kinokuniya on Saturday, and keep up with the latest at www.mediumatlarge.net and www.twitter.com/ny_anime_fest!

And don't forget NYAF tickets are on sale now! Friday passes are $25, Saturday passes are $30, Sunday passes are $25, and Weekend passes are just $45. Buy now!
