Its high time I formally announced EirtaKon 2006.
As most of you know, this anime convention will be held in the Hub, Dublin City University's student centre, on DCU campus from Friday the 24th to Sunday the 26th of November.
The cost of entrance;
€9 for a one day pass.
€12 for the entire weekend.
Weekenders will also recieve a con t-shirt, and a goodie bag, if there are any left that is.
Throughout the convention we will have traders of all sorts selling anime DVD's, manga, toys, games, plushies, designer t-shirts and even snacks. Anime cons really can't go ahead without pocky. We'll also be showing anime non-stop throughout the weekend in our various screening rooms. Including some of our personal favourites. Though we'll try not to show series and films that everyone has already seen.
We will also have games provided by DCU's Gamessoc among others. There'll be free for all multiplayer sessions on the PS2 and Gamecube, both head to head fighting games and blasts of Guitar Hero and Donkey Konga. Board games will also be provided.
There will also be a Pub Quiz, at which we are hard at work preparing questions and other rounds.
Being in the student center there is a Spar, a canteen around the corner and a Bar. Also across the road we have EuroSpar, chippers and pizza delivery to the door.
