Had the pleasure of talking about JAMS, anime studies, and librarianship on two amazing panels at AnimeNYC!
I'm so heartened to see so many opportunities for public scholarship emerging for professors and librarians at larger conventions - especially needed right now!

AnimeNYC Day 0 is a HUGE success!
Badge acquired, and managed to grab last minute tickets to a show!
"Death Becomes Her" was AMAZING!
It's also fun making small talk with folks and being able to say I'm here in NYC to talk about anime! I wish I could tell younger Billy the way his life would go!

It's not every day your university writes a whole news article about you, nor every day that they include a picture of you, your mom, and your grandma from the 2014 Anime Boston Death Match!
