Saturday May 10, 2025
2pm-5pm
Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Library 901 G ST NW Washington,DC 20001
Nearest Subway Station: Gallery Pi Chinatown Subway Station Green/Yellow/Red
Description: A swap meet is where people ‘meet’ to ‘swap’ their unwanted items for something else they may want – without paying for anything. The focus will be on anime, manga, comic, and video game related items.
Once you enter the room you will be asked to PRINT YOUR NAME CLEARLY on the attendance sheet.
Afterwards you will be allowed to participate in the club activity. After each club meeting members usually go to a nearby restaurant to socialize and eat so we encourage all attendees to join in.
Have fun. This is an anime club after all.
We hope to see you there.

Lolita Picnic
Saturday June 21, 2025
12:30pm-3pm
National Mall
Nearest Subway Station: Smithsonian (Blue line)
DC Anime Club Will Host a Lolita Picnic
We will meet up in front of the Smithsonian Metro station at the top of the entrance escalators at
Mall Exit and then proceed to the picnic area.
For those who are unfamiliar, Lolita is a fashion subculture in Japan that
is primarily influenced by Victorian children clothing, as well as
costumes from the Rococo period.
Lolita has made this into a unique fashion by adding gothic and original
design elements to the look. From this, Lolita fashion has evolved into
several different sub …styles and has created a devoted subculture in
Japan. The Lolita look consists primarily of a knee- length skirt or dress,
headdress, blouse, petticoat, knee-high socks or stockings, and
rocking horse or high heel/platform shoes.
Attendees are encouraged to bring food, since there will be a potluck with the photo shoot.
We hope to see you there.
