Overview
Atomic Lollipop's inaugural year was a blast of awesome programming, amazing costumes, wicked parties and more weird activities than you can shake a flamingo at. If you were there in 2011, you know. If you missed it, you're in for a treat! With even more large-scale fun planned and all your favourite programming from last year returning, Apop's second year is gearing up to be this summer's most interactive weekend of magic and mayhem. Check back regularly for awesome updates and big announcements as we count down to Atomic Lollipop 2012!

Workshops & Playshops
Learn, create, and level up in our workshops and playshops! Between fire spinning, bellydancing, crocheting, DJing, and making your very own Domo-kun, you'll find some way to push your boundaries and flex your imagination with our hands-on programming!

Panels
Awesome experts educate and entertain on a wide range of topics from My Little Pony to the secrets of throwing an awesome party, getting your ass to Japan, and more!

Live Games
Prep yourself for the weirdest and rowdiest programming on the convention circuit. Shout your heart out in Who's that Pokemon and D**k or no D**k, or kick-start a con romance at Atomic Speed Dating!

Adventures
Toronto and NYC-based Newmindspace will blow your mind with massive interactive events and magical mayhem. Stay tuned for updates on everything from large-scale lightsaber throw-downs to pillow fights, blanket forts, improv events, and bubble battles.

Performances
The Variety Show, Untalent Show, Shadow Cast, and Super Smash Bros Burlesque Show will excite, amaze, amuse and (quite possibly) titillate you all weekend long!

Cosplay & Fashion
Flaunt your stuff for a Hall Cosplay Award or hit the stage for top honors and awesome prizes in the Masquerade, Lolita Fashion Show, or J-Fashion Runway Showdown.

Live Music
Bespa Kumamero rocked the house in 2011, now look forward to another mind blowing performance on the main stage! Stay tuned for this year's headliners!

Otakubaloo
The legendary party brings bone-shaking beats that are sure to keep you moving! With an international line-up of world renowned DJs spinning awesome electro, chiptunes, Tokyo tracks and more- it's the coolest spot this side of the Pacific!

Gaming
Got the fastest fingers, sharpest reflexes, and sweetest combos this side of the Pacific? Then step up to the platform and duke it out to secure bragging rights and sweet prizes as a top tournament contender or just veg out with some classic games in the freeplay arcade.

Screenings
Check out the screening room for the hottest anime shows and films or strap on your nostalgia goggles for some Saturday Morning Cartoons! When night rolls around, grab some friends and pull up a picnic blanket for Anime Under The Stars.

Nightlife
The party kicks off when the sun goes down. Don`t miss a massive musical blow-out, blanket forts, D*** or No D****, hentai bingo, 4chan mystery dating action, the Choose Your Own (Hentai) Adventure Showdown, and MORE!

General Ridiculosity
Happening everywhere, all-weekend long. We're building on last year's bouncy cosplay boxing, pillow fights and inflatable flamingo hallway raves so be ready for anything (and we mean anything)!
