Theres already the SMASH! Animavericks AMV Competition thread but it would be good to also have a thread for the convention proper, so here goes:

SMASH!
WHAT IS SMASH!

To be honnest a bunch of Canberrans went last year and I didn't hear anything good back from them (other than small waiting times to get in which is good) and they aren't planning on going this year....
I should clarrify: they didn't say that the con sucked at all, more that it was tiny and very "meh" (as you would expect from a 1 day convention) and since my main motivation for attending a con is amv related activities sooo... yeah

I will also have AVcon the weekend before so I doubt I'm gonna want to travel again so quickly. x_x but I suppose I'll see how I feel on saturday.
