LOS GATOS, CA — Pacific Media Expo presents its’ first free event in Northern California by hosting the NorCal Holiday Anime Swap Meet on Saturday, December 11, 2010 in Nordahl Hall in Los Gatos, CA. This event will feature a hall cosplay contest, hourly raffles sponsored by Bandai Entertainment and PMX, a swap meet/artist alley, and concession stand. This event offers free onsite parking and free admission to the general public.

“The Bay Area always had a variety of wonderful conventions to make anime fans happy throughout the year but free events are rare. Thank you very much to Pacific Media Expo for providing a free and wholesome event for anime fans in the Bay Area,” says Nordahl Hall member Kathy Whitesel.
