Eirtakon MK II 08 in November

They always kick ass because they are relatively small so you can say hi to everyone .

Aye, in terms of conventions there are :-

EirtaKon
Tomo-Dachi
and Qcon - actually a gaming con but has been running anime screenings and events for years.

All of these cons hosts cosplay and DCU Anime & Manga Society are begining to set up regular Cosplay events.

EirtaKon MKII was the second EirtaKon in 2007, this one is just called EirtaKon 2008. Due to there being no Con in February.

Yeah I was wondering if I had missed one ¬_¬;

Might not be quite as small this year as we're bringing over a high profile American voice actor (Vic Mignogna) and possibly a few other cool guests and traders so we'll be expecting some UK and continental attendance.

Hopefully within reason though; we're capping this years attendence at 600 just in case (was +400 last year).

But yeah, friendly people and everyone always seems to have a lot of fun ( even at the times where we let things fall apart )

cool looking forward to it we went to the manga convention in London at the excel (its huge) in Oct.2007 they had the cast members from heros and some from star trek, plus of course loads of stands and anime quizz's etc. and lots of freebies eg. t.shirts from promo films..competitions etc..so hope Dublin is as good..:):)

Well, it's an anime con, not a sci-fi con, so no star-trek/heroes people etc

thats no problem , i was surprised to see scifi people at the one in london but hey it was good..as long as everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves that is the main thing ..:)

Just because you did not hear about it it does not mean it did not happen :P

It was shown in the main screening room the first year.

But you didn't hear it from me.
