Ryan Kopf's Blog

This year's Anime Midwest is shaping up to be incredible. Our attendance numbers are strong and our team has been working hard on putting together an awesome show. Our main stage is going to be occupied all the time with our cosplay competitions - with the finale to the Cosplay World Crown on Friday afternoon.

I have people tell me all the time that they wish they had my job. It sounds wonderful - you get to create awesome anime experiences for other nerds who like anime. But if anyone actually wants my job, you're welcome to it, haha.

Last year, I really wanted to help support the cosplayers attending and participating in the Cosplay World Crown, and so I had a bunch of snacks set up at Anime Midwest's cosplay contest for the cosplay participants.

Most anime fans like me get their anime on the internet. Whether it be from Crunchyroll, Netflix, or somewhere else on the web, all anime fans are connected by the internet. Anime Midwest is coming up soon and we've connected with hundreds of attendees via the internet, for example.

This is Ryan Kopf, the president of AnimeCon.org and your local nerd and anime fan. Anime Minneapolis is coming up this weekend and we're all hands on deck with the convention, shaping up to be a great time and I look forward to seeing some awesome people here.

Let's talk about something many people call boring - social security. I know it's not related to anime, but the number of anime fans I know who are personally affected is in the thousands. This is because anime reaches people from all walks of life.

When I launched WebsiteRaven.com, my goal was simple but ambitious: to create an affordable, user-friendly platform that empowers small business owners, artists, and creators to establish their own unique online presence without breaking the bank.

Solar panels can be installed without any concrete or unrecyclable parts. Here's a picture of a ground screw installation - at my mom's house. These solar panels don't require big concrete pads poured, they don't use dangerous chemicals, they're made of aluminum, glass, copper.

Can't wait to see you at the next convention. But will there be more anime conventions if we don't do something about the environment. The weather has gotten wild and unpredictable. Pollution is rampant.

It is almost time for the next anime convention, but today I'm writing you with a little history story. We started AnimeCon.org from nothing. And I am quite lucky to be where I am. Growing up, the concept of 'easy money' was foreign to me.
