Schoolgirls and Mobilesuits is a 3-day event hosted this weekend, September 25 through 27. The full name is Schoolgirls and Mobilesuits: Culture and Creation in Manga and Anime . It is presented as a course at MCAD and costs $100 to attend.

The blog describes it as "not a convention, not a conference; but a sweet hybrid of both — and a bit of carnival as well" that includes fashion shows, movie screenings, and art workshops. The full schedule can be found here. Sounds like a fun weekend for fans of Japanese pop culture!
