We’re doin’ it again! Since last year’s Youmacon was a clear success, we’re making a special guest appearance at this year’s Youmacon!
What is Youmacon?
Youmacon 2012 will be held at both The Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, and at Cobo Center. Last year, attendees started drawing in by the dozen, eventually filling the Mariott to capacity; that’s over 10,000 otakus in one area at the same time! From cosplay contests, 24-hour gaming arcades, to music and anime panels, you name it! Everything you could ever want, right here in the Midwest as one of the fastest-growing anime conventions across the country! So from November 1-4, DMG will be sure to see you there to take part in all the action!
