LoL! I went too! The Moogle got chopped (?) LoL, Chii was very kawaii... ^^ Lulu was good too! The lil girl as Catwoman that was cute. LoL. I liked the Jedis and the Kill Bill group - - Gogo was ^^ hehe ((I'm very happy)) It was pretty sweet; but I like it better the other year. >.< looked like there was more stuff last time. Oh well I'm happy; got a wallscroll; DVD and; YuGiOh necklace thingy (it's free from the tourney - - don't ask how I went ) The DDR was nuts... (one person; 2 dance pads; at once.) FanArt was alot better and it had more entrants last year. ((But the Sasuke one that won was very good)) Anyhow enough of my rantings. Ciao. I didn't take any pictures. ((During Cosplay I was on the right side 2nd row; where were you Jen?))

For those who missed out on Supanova, there's another anime convention this year in Sydney! * Animania www.AuroraEvents.com.auSydney City Town Hall 23+24 October 2004 Animania 2004 will be chock-full of events so make sure you have plenty of sleep the week before because you certainly won't have time to rest during the event. The 2004 Animania Convention will be the biggest ever to be staged. The Venue to be announced will be at a Sydney Unique Venue situated at the heart of Sydney CBD. The Convention is expecting a turnout between 5,000 to 10,000 from local, interstate and overseas visitors. Various events are staged to cater to the tastebuds of even the most jaded anime fan. For those with an artistic flair, there will be the Art Competition and Cosplay Competitions. For those seeking to be entertained, there will be the Great Debate and Gaming Room. Old favourites such as the Art Competition, Karaoke Competition, Cosplay Competitions will return on a bigger and larger scale. New events such as Live Dubbing Competition will be hosted. This is an opportunity for people all over the place to participate in the variety of events, to revel in the atmosphere, to meet up with friends and to make new friends. <<Hmm..don't think I can go..I think I'm doing my HSC around there>>

I'm sure someone here will take some photos to show us! ;D
Anime Cons are cool~ If it wasnt for the HSC I think we'd all be going. I'm definately going to the next one (regardless when it is)
I mean.. you dont even have to participate in anything and just walk around and watch and its still exciting XD For me anyway..
