Dokidokon was established as the "Kalamazoo convention with heart" in 2017, for lovers of anime, gaming and more. Zezzie and Leon Evergrim volunteered to help at the first Dokidokon. Now, they have official duties as on-the-ground organizers, along with the convention's online organizers.
The Evergrims chat with Cara Lieurance, answering questions about the convention's name, activities, inclusiveness and culture. They say they expect more than 2000 attendees for the event, which is held at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Kalamazoo Jul 28-30. A huge undertaking, the convention will commandeer three floors at the Radisson.
Information on day and weekend passes, as well as a schedule with over 150 activities is available at the Dokidokon website.
