Jen built more than a shop: she built a space where creativity and community thrive side by side. In the heart of the Las Vegas Arts District, @akincooperative has become a creative home for local makers, artists, and small business owners.

What began as one woman’s vision to make local goods more accessible has grown into a collective that fuels collaboration and connection year-round. Through challenges, growth, and plenty of grit, Jen has proven that small business success isn’t just about profit: it’s about purpose. That’s how community gets built in Nevada.

Hey everyone! Welcome to the first part of the Bandai Fest 2025 series — I’m Jose Ruiz, and this is Countdown to Dallas!

Bandai Fest 2025. What is it, you may ask? It’s one of the biggest events of the year for card game lovers — every Bandai card game regional, including One Piece, Dragonball, Union Arena, Digimon, and the one we’ll be focusing on, the new Gundam Card Game, will be taking place. And we're headed to Dallas, Texas, to experience it all. This event was nothing like what I was expecting. Basically, everything that could have gone wrong went wrong in a weekend that has to be one of the most intense I’ve experienced at a convention ever.
