2010 Archive Anime Boston is over!!! (Which doesn't explain why I didn't post anything about it prior to the convention, but needless to say, check out Anime Boston's forum, Cosplay.Com and whatever other anime/gaming related community/sites you would like for recaps.) A new convention appears! U-Con at UConn is set to take place February 5th to 7th on the campus of the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT. The Con is free. Click here for more info. I've also uploaded a mini travel guide related to travel, parking, and food at the convention area. UConn is of course my first alma mater, and a place where I learned things about stuff, I am smarfer now because I went to UConn. I was also Vice President of the anime club there for awhile until my Starscream style attempt to seize power repeatedly failed and Unicron showed up...and the movie sucked...though was well animated, and well scored by Vince DiCola...but I digress. 2009 Archive December 28, 2009 There have been many updates, but the site really is a mess now, so I'm going to be doing a cleanup and hopefully have things more under control soon. December 20, 2009 In the time since I last updated this site, the New York Anime Festival, Bakuretsucon, Zenkaikon, Anime Kaiju Experience, and Another Anime Convention all happened. (Major Update Fail on my part but there actually was a credible reason. Anyway time to get back in the swing of things.) The convention list will be updated in a few days. Game Unicon is August 21-23 in Malden, Massachusetts. It's a con that involves gaming, concerts, and nerdfit...uh oh. More details here: Game Unicon Website Connecticon 2009 is over!
