We’re three days away from DIAMONDS AND PEARLS!!
Besides from our vendors, our gaming setup, and our really awesome @gallery5arts bartenders, you’re probably wondering what fun things to expert during the pre-show yeah? LISTEN UP!!
If you’ve ever been inspired by the commercial break game “Who’s That Pokemon?” from the Anime, then you get the chance to play it! Prove to us that your Pokédex is filled!
Not that much of a hardcore fan, but still want to be apart of the festivities? Good, because we’re also hosting a dance off before the show! Storm will give you some props and a song, and you can either compete with a partner or go solo!
Finally, in place of an intermission, we will be hosting a cosplay contest! Dress as your favorite Pokemon, gym leader, Team Rocket Member, or even deck out in all PokéMerch!
Each of these events will have a prize for the winner! So, make sure to buy your tickets ASAP (we have VERY FEW classic 4-tops left!), and come as early as 8pm to participate! Storm will cry if you don’t 😞
