The fun gets started a little early as NYAF kicks off a weekend's worth of fun with a pre-show party to celebrate Del Rey Manga's 5th Anniversary. There'll be a raffle to win Del Rey Manga and anime DVDs from Bandai and Funimation. To top it all off, there'll also be a pretty schwell cake made just for the occasion by the Charm City Cakes, the confectionary celebs of Food Network's Ace of Cakes show.
NOTE: Unfortunately for attendees under 21, you'll need to be accompanied by an adult over 25 years of age. Up to 6 minors can attend with each 25+ attendee which will suck.
