Cosplay Picnic & Photo Shoot

The first day of Aniwave for this year will kick off with the Cosplay Picnic at the Cameron Art Museum. The Cosplay Picnic will be held on Saturday, October 24, at 11:00 AM. The Cameron Art Museum is located at 3201 South 17th Street, in Wilmington, NC. Click here for a map of this address.

A Photo Shoot will follow the picnic at 1:00 PM, which should give us enough time to get everyone's picture taken before the anime screening at 2:00 PM.

Come dressed as your favorite anime character, and make sure to bring friends! The more the merrier! And it wouldn't be a picnic without some food, so please bring a snack or dish of your choice (use your best judgment of course). Japanese food is always a great fit for the festival...

Notice: Due to concerns from the Health Department and the persistence of the H1N1, and flu viruses, we must inform you that "store-bought food items are encouraged and preferred if at all possible."

Current List of Food Being Brought:

  • Cake
  • Yakitori
  • Riceballs
  • Chicken Dumplings
  • Green Tea Cake
  • Pocky
  • Cookies
  • Candy Sushi
  • Chips
  • Soda

In order to gauge attendance, and the amount of food we will still need, please register for the picnic. You can register in two ways. First, you can RSVP to the event on Facebook...

Aniwave '09

While I have been working on preparing this year's Aniwave festival, I admit that I have neglected the site with updates. Nevertheless, Aniwave '09 is a GO!

The dates for this year's Aniwave are October 24 and 25. Our confirmed locations are the Cameron Art Museum, and the Soapbox. Stay tuned for more details, which I will post as they get finalized.

  • The Cameron Art Museum [link]
  • Digieffects [link]
  • The Soapbox Laundro Lounge [link]
  • Animeigo [link]

Aniwave '08 a Big Success

I would like to thank everyone for helping make this year's Aniwave a big success! With the added press we received from Encore, WWAY News Channel 3, as well as WHQR 91.3fm and StarNews, attendance was up significantly from last year. While securing financial support was a challenge this year, several sponsors came forth to make Aniwave a reality.

The festival would not have been possible without the support of Michael L. Glancy, AnimEigo, Sawgrass Gifts, the Cameron Art Museum, and Level 5 at City Stage. We are grateful for all of their assistance. I would also like to thank Tokyo Deli for donating some food items, as well as all of our attendees who contributed with additional donations.

A lot of people helped to promote Aniwave or lend their assistance in various capacities, and I would also like to acknowledge them here. A big thank you to Branson Moore and Aaron Cavazos at AnimEigo, Daphne Holmes at the Cameron Art Museum, the Independent Art Company staff, Ian Moseley at Level 5, Christina Dore and Shea Carver at Encore, Andy Scherr and Joe Mauceri at WWAY, Jemila Ericson at WHQR, John Staton at StarNews, Sarah Scott at New Hanover High School, Analie Foland, Pippin Calame, Caroline Culbert and the Schoonover family.

For those who joined us, you have probably been waiting for the photos from the event; while those who were not able to come may be curious how it all went. So without further ado, you can find photos from Aniwave '08 at the following address...



Thank you all again. I couldn't have done it without your strong support, and Aniwave would be nothing without all of you!
