From the Anime Evolution Web-Site :

"Anime Evolution 2009 at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre is
Vancouver's premiere Asian popular cultural event where audiences and
industry interact directly in an informal setting.

The three-day convention is expected to draw close to 5,000 people
and brings together art, animation (anime), comic books (manga), video
games, film and music in a celebration of Asian popular culture and
multimedia.

Convention attendees can attend Q&A's and workshops with voice
actors, directors, artists, animators, comic books publishers and game
developers.

Video screenings, video game rooms, a cultural festival and live
performances by DJs, bands and improv actors are sure to keep guests
thoroughly entertained."

We'll be at the show in a big way this year as a sponsor - with a booth in the main hall, and running 2 events - a free (with registration) Naruto TCG sealed deck event on Saturday, and an Anima Tactics tournament on Sunday.

Here are some of the exciting prizes being handed out at the event.

 

Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition

Living Forgotten Realms (LFR) Tables.  We usually have 2 tables going - one starts at 5pm and one at 6pm.  LFR games are for our more experienced D&D players.  If you're interested in playing in an LFR adventure - check out the details on the Wizards web-site.  We take sign-ups to reserve spots at these tables - so call the store to book a spot - 604-261-4588.

For our newer players or those of you with less time on your hands, at 7pm we will be running a Dungeon Delve.  A Dungeon Delve is a shorter 1.5 - 3 hour single encounter adventure. The encounters string together each week to provide a complete adventure if you can make it in each week (but don't worry if you can't).  It helps if you can bring in a character already, but we can help you build one if your not sure how (just come in a bit early).  Each month the level of the characters required changes, so call the store to book a spot and find out what level character to bring.
