The local anime convention is Tekkoshocon, which takes place in April. But for otaku in the area, once a yaer is not enough. So, the great staff members of Tekkoshocon teamed up with Carnegie library to bring you Tekko 1/2!!! This year, Tekko 1/2 is on Saturday, October 27th at the Main branch of the Carnegie library. (It's in Oakland, right next to Pitt and down the street from the Art and Natural History museums) Hours are whenever the library is open that day, possibly 10-5.
Events include a game room, a video room, at least 1 panel room, a workshop room, and lots of manga to read. Cosplaying is encouraged, though it's not as big of a deal as the full-fledged Tekko. I, for example, am going to cosplay as Katsuya Jounouchi again, but I'm not going to wear my wig. (Most likely, I will be the only Katsuya Jounouchi) Picture taking is more than welcome, still. Just make sure you ask.
