Ooh! I have the tumblr site-
Twas one of the first things I did as soon as I got a flicker of interest! XD
Thanks very much for all your suggestions for the other things! Checking them out now!
Guys. GUYS. Guys.
Australia now has a Con. And they’re basing it off of the Bay Area Minicon, so possibly with catering and convention bags and ALL THE MADNESS!
It’s gonna be BRILLIANT!
Signal boost this for them so they can see how big a theater to rent?
They’re looking at late August, so VERY short notice and turn around time, please help them start with a bang!
For everyone that’s been commenting about how they wished the con was in Australia?
Now it is. Go say hello and give them your support! :D
I (Dawn) personally can’t due to the dreaded OT monster- but if anyone else is going, say Hi to Dramapunk!
I WILL be going to the Palo Alto Cinearts showing on June 7th though! It’s a Thursday, and is the reverse casting- sadly can’t get off Wednesday too otherwise I would get to see Ben as the Monster. <3 If anyone is coming to the Thursday showing, Please do say Hi!
In other news, Voting for the Video Contest is still open.
Yes, when we agreed to the date none of us realized it was Father’s day.
Next year we WILL be holding a con, probably the at end of July or August.
If you can’t make it this year- just mark your date books for next year. :) We’ll be bigger than ever then- though there is going to be some real treats this year! This year is looking to be a small con, about 100 people, maybe 150 if everyone that says they’re buying tickets really does. ;)
So next year should be twice as big and just as fun.
So the Video Contest Submissions are closed!
Only half of the submissions will get a DVD and the privilege to be shown on the big screen. Fantastic odds for those that submitted and we may even see one person win two of the cash prizes!
