Little Tokyo: Gudetama's Lazy Diner Experience, Ronin-Expo & Kaiju-Con


We have some events we thought we should highlight happening in Little Tokyo. This weekend and every Saturday in Meh, we mean May, we're getting a lazy egg meeting. Gudetama is a Sanrio character who happens to be a lazy egg and it looks like it's to be a meet-n-greet with fans this "meh" month. We do hope someone has to be in an egg costume so we can take pictures with them. Nope, no food though?

We were happy to see how much Ronin-Expo has grown over the years, even after the name changes. Expect a mini-con to prepare you for AX the following month. A nice vendor and artist space, live programming and performances, swap meet and masquerade round-up this one day anime event.
