Anime and Comic Fair. 23-24Feb 08.
The venue was sparsely decorated except for few bunting and a backdrop. The floor was covered by tattered carpet which has seen its prime time. The makeshift stage was naked exposing all its sexy legs. No VIP officiating the function. It was indeed a very low cost affair. Well may be I should call it low cost affair event (LCA ) just like Tony calling his airlines AirAsia low cost carrier (LCC). Despite the LCA tag from my observation the event was a thundering success. It managed to create the atmosphere with its loud funky anime music. Judging from the throng of visitors who paid rm5 entrance fees the organizer probably even made a handsome profit at the end of the day.
I learned quite a lot of new thing from the two days event. It seemed the ‘anime’ characters and comics have quite a strong followers with our present youngsters. No wonder I have seen many comic and toyshop sprouting all over the place. Kids willing to spend thirty ringgits for Manga comics nowdays.
It was my kids first time experience in hawking their merchandise. I believed they gained valuable experience from the two days exposure. In the end it was not the P&L that matters but the invaluable experience gained that count.
