SacAnime, longstanding pillar of the California anime convention scene, will be having multiple in-person events later this year. One of which is scheduled to take place in Roseville next month. Not just any place in Roseville either- but the primary Covid-19 vaccination clinic used by Placer County.
The news of this caused some issues for the convention. Namely, the idea that the event being held at the location was prompting the clinic to close. Fans were quick to point out how….troubling this news was. This morning, SacAnime released a statement (kinda) on their official Facebook and Twitter accounts, addressing the concerns and attempting to clarify the situation.

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
