People interviewed for this video:
Lou Arruda, Greg Ayres, Chris Beveridge, Christian Daly, Patrick Delahanty, Samantha Ferreira, Jenna Leary, Brian T. Price, Mike Toole, Doug Wilder, and Julie York.
Thank you again to everyone who let me pick their brains about Anime Boston! I greatly appreciate it!
There were other people I was hoping to interview as well, but unfortunately, not everyone responded when I attempted to contact them (or in one case, when a mutual contact reached out to them).
Also, additional special thanks to those who shared their old Anime Boston photos with me, and to Mike Toole for scanning his 2003 program.

I've been wanting to do a video about Anime Boston's backstory for a while, and since 2023 marks 20 years since the first Anime Boston took place, it seemed like as good a time as ever! Like I mentioned in the video, I've been going to AB since 2012, and I'm not even joking/being hyperbolic when I say that it's my favorite con. I have nothing but love for Anime Boston.
