News? Perhaps!
Yes, I love to channel Dinosaur Comics by using the word “perhaps” followed by an exclamation mark. Y’all should read that comic, as it’s quite funny and irreverent. It deals with a great many topics and is told completely by Dinosaurs. Anyway, enough of that. Plots are thickening everywhere! Of course you all know that there is a to be a cosplay fashion show and we seriously need your help! I’m gonna say right now that y’all are lame for not entering our poetry contest, but to be honest, I expected nothing less. This however, is very important. I need as many people to join us as possible. Why? Well this will be a money maker for us, and the more money we make, the more awesome our prizes and events will be, so you’d better be there and tell all of your friends! Japan Week will be advertising this big time too. There will also be Otaku Con merchandise there, so watch out for that awesomeness as most of it will be limited in edition! Oh yeah, there will be a rave afterwards, and… well… we’re selling GLOWSTICKS! You know you want them.
Also, another cool thing is Matt (Otaku Con’s fearless leader) and Jen (some of you may know her as Yuki) both have blogs with which to tell you things that they are working on! For example, Matt has some very exciting news that he has published very recently, so you should go there in order to find out about it. Yuki also has some interesting factoids for your consideration, among them being some more stuff about the Japan Week event, and exciting demonstrations that will be taking place at Otaku Con.
Now you forum goers of mine… Where are you? You should definitely return to the forums and post your hearts out because it’s fun and cool, and if you’re not paying attention you may miss some awesome stuff! For example, in the near future some sign up forms will be hitting the website, and more details will become available. One other thing: it looks like our venue might be SFCC this year! We hope to one day host this con at the convention center, and in the interests of that, there will be a slight price hike in the ticket prices, but it will still be uber-affordable. The only thing going away is the option to buy tickets for a single day. This con will awesomely be held over a full weekend in July, so get ready for that!
Big news actually, our ad-campaign starts soon, so watch out for Otaku Con fliers (read: business card sized fliers) in all of your favorite stores, and don’t forget to hand them out to your friends! The more people that are there, the more awesome our con will be, with better atmosphere and more entertaining panels! BWAHAHAHAAAAA I’m so excited.
Presale tickets (which are cheaper than door tickets) will be going on sale soon at various locations to be determined, as well as being available online.
Hmmm, also, I’m excited because I’m gonna build a computer pretty soon, at a super awesome price. I will show it to you when I am able!
