From the list of stuff on the convention's site, they will have a "super supermarket" of curated products that will include various authorized vendors and a "pop-up shop" that will include new items and con exclusives.

I'm sad to know this exists Laughing

Seriously though, the Japanese have been obsessed Avril Lavigne for years now. I'm surprised she didn't do something like this sooner.

Imagine if this caused a surge both in the Hello Kitty equivalent of bronies and the registration of Japanese bobtail cats (Hello Kitty's breed). Tiffany Grant is a Hello Kitty so the con inviting her to it would be appropriate.
