I only just took a closer look at the calender, and I wanted to ask: did anybody else here not notice til just now that Anime Boston falls on Easter Sunday this year? I know some of us won't care at all, especially people who aren't Christian, but I was wondering if this is affecting anybody elses plans. Also, does anyone have any info on Easter themed or related events? Speculations on how Easter might affect the con?

Yes, we know.

No, Anime Boston is not doing any Easter based events. A good number of staff and attendees are not Christian, so having a religious based thing isn't happening. If people really want to celebrate, there's a number of churches/chapels in the area.

And it won't really effect attendance. AB has been held on Easter before.

Really? I didn't know this had happened before. I didn't expect it to affect attendence much at all, but I wonder if it will affect the cosplays.

I can only see it effecting some people not going sunday. To do the church/family thing, should it apply and such.

All I know is that Good Friday means I don't have to go to school on the 21st.

The only thing for me it effects is the fact I won't have to see my aunt that's a wicked witch. Out of my older brother and I she chooses to criticze me. I think she doesn't like me.

Yeah, I noticed. They were mentioning it in the forums on the site at the begining of the year and they were saying how in 2003 (when they first held it) that it was also held on Easter at the time. One of the forum regulators mentioned that they didn't get too many people for that con, but they werent sure if it was because of it being Easter weekend, or because they didn't do enough advertising. xd

Anywho, many have been telling me that they doubt Easter will make a difference on the number of people going. But I'm still curious to see how things will pan out by Sunday.

Fortunately, I was able to cover myself by honestly telling my family "I have plans with my boyfriend for Easter" whee

Maybe an egg hunt will occur xd

Personally, I just want to see another session of Extreme Duck-duck-goose.
