Hey guys! I wanted to announce a new convention going on in Chattanooga, TN in February of 2008. ConNooga http://www.connooga.com
Our goal is to bring all the fandoms together. We are Horror, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Gaming, Fan Film, Comic, Cosplay, Anime, Music, Entertainment enthusiast and we want our convention to reflect that. A convention that brings in Celebrities, panels, workshops, contest and fun... A Convention YOU help organize by giving us your ideas, suggestions and input!
With that said, one of the things we organized first was the Anime Music Video contest. The rules and other info can be found here: http://www.connooga.com/page8.html. Know anyone that has any they'd like to show off?
We're having a staff meeting soon to see what else we can do in the anime department. If anyone has any suggestions on that or anything else, we're pretty open to everyone's ideas. Thanks!
