Taka-Con, presented by MVCC’s Anime Club, is a convention for fans of all things “nerdy.” Activities, which will be held in both the Alumni College Center and Wilcox Hall, include panel discussions, workshops, games, and contests on various aspects of pop culture, including anime, gaming, comics, and cosplay. There also will be local vendors and artists selling their wares. The event also will feature anime improv, local music, and an open mic-style drag show.
