22-10-2007 1:31am#1Time for a new thread to give everyone the basic and current details!
EirtaKon is an anime convention based in Dublin City University, Dublin. It started in 2005 and as you might imagine, this is the third such EirtaKon.
There's anime showings, panels, competitions, cosplay, traders, games - all the things you'd expect from an anime convention.
There's a lot more information available at http://www.eirtakon.com/ , but the basic vitals are:
EirtaKon 2007 Mk.II
November 23rd - 25th
Dublin City University
Dublin
One Day Pass: €10
Weekend Pass: €15 + Free T-shirt (while stocks last)
Friday- Pub Quiz starting @ 8pm w/ prizes - always a lot of fun, don't miss this if you're over 18!
- there'll also be anime showings on in another room for people not interested in the quiz;
- Traders - people selling all sorts of merchandise; DVDs and there's going to be a gothic lolita company there this year!
- Panels - discussions on a variety of subjects, from me trying to talk about fan culture, fansubbers talking about fansubbing, to a special Japanese guest!
- Showings - the backbone of anime cons, I am personally constructing the showings list for this years convention, along with scheduling. You can expect more than just anime showings, there'll of course be AMVs, we'll be showing AMV Hell in its entirity (except zero!), other special fanmade videos, plus panel footage from Otakon!
- Cosplay - Theres going to be a lot of cosplaying this year from what I can gather, so whether you're going to gear up yourself or be a photographer, you'll be sorted. There's also going to be a cosplay competition on Saturday, I'd say keep your eyes peeled but this was a resounding success last year and it'll be hard to miss this year too!
- Gaming - there's a slew of games lined up, plus competitions to boot, Japanese games are the focus!
Also there is huge demand for the EirtaKon T-shirts every year, and some people are always disappointed because we don't have an infinite supply (costs us quite a bit of cashola upfront to get those things
) so this year, if you pre-register you're guaranteed your T-shirt, so pre-register! Other than that, make sure you turn up Friday or very early on the Saturday to purchase your weekend ticket.

Our total numbers hover around the 400 mark, registrations for the weekend number 374, not including some people who only came for the pub quiz and Friday showings (required no registration), staff, special guests, etc.
All in all, we were ecstatic over the turnout and that everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves immensely. We had some problems with the showings, but they didn't seem to generate a huge amount of interest anyway (apart from AMV Hell, which always packs the room).
Yeah AMV hell was packed! The poor guy behind the door got hit a few times.
