The opening night of AVCon at the Adelaide Convention Center was a spectacle I’d been waiting for several months now and finally it arrived.

I’m not really a big anime fan or gaming enthusiast. In fact I felt just a little bit fraudulent waiting in the long snaking queue surrounded by excited individuals and groups decked out in their amazing character costumes.

Still, the waiting was worth it for a front row seat and the privileged of seeing our daughter perform on stage heralding in AVCon 2017 with the story of Ayvee and Switch.
