AUSAM-Con

[scottishfae]

Hallo!

I'm here to announce a new, one-day convention being held January 12, 2008 from 10am - 10pm in Auburn, AL. The Society of Anime and Manga--the club hosting this event--is very excited about this impending anime festival, and we're trying to get as many to come out as possible. If you're near or around the Alabama area and would like to come to this free event, then we'd love to have you. It's open to anyone--a "family-friendly" event. Oh, and did I mention it's free?!

Included in the festivities will be:

A fanfiction panel; a cosplay panel and workshop*, hosted by a nationally recognized and award winning cosplayer; and a Transformers panel, hosted by the winner of the "Who is the Biggest Transformers fan in the US?" contest.

We'll also be having an Artist Alley (we still have a few spots open, go to www.ausam-con.com/artists for more information), a Live-Action Japanese movie room, a game room, and three rooms running anime the entire day.

You can go here and see our official schedule for AUSAM-Con.

*The Cosplay workshop, due to materials being needed, will have a cost of $7 to participate, but free to observe. There will also be a VIP Lounge, which will cost $5 to enter. All money is a "donation" that will go straight back into AUSAM-Con so that we can expand it for the next year.

Feel free to visit our website: www.ausam-con.com, at any time, and you can contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks!
