Hey y'all!
Here it is, the finished Anime/Video Room schedule. I have not, as per their wishes in the past, included the Cherry Hill Experiment's schedule, save for when they'll take over the room.
As always, this schedule is subject to change between now and the con itself. Hopefully the paper schedule brochure I always supply will reflect any changes that have to be made. But without further ado...
