    Hey, you don't have to pay extra to actually watch the screenings do ya? Or is it like all you-can-watch for the 6/10 euro?

    Ah, no, we aren't trying to do anything underhanded like that :)

    The only other charges in the actual convention are if you want to play games (RPG, Gundam, etc).

    Omg, I was there! Who went? Who went!? It was deadly! I was there for the three days. Sittin' downstairs playing DBZ Budokai 3 and Streetfighter, buying stuff offthe asian guy and watching Anime and random videos upstairs! Woo! And I came third place in the quiz!! It was really fun. I bought a good bit of stuff...Ed's Watch. It works and has the carving in it, and I got Roy's gloves. I can set people alight now, woo!! I also got 8 posters, Chobits characters, An iron-on patch, I got 7 badges for 11 euro, a manga and something else...Can't remember. Oh well! I think it was an Alphonse plushie...Or arm bands...Something like that. And I got a free t-shirt that was bought in pennys for 3:50 and the little girl with the bulge was put on it...It's like, three sizes too big though. Oh well! I cosplayed as Dark Chii and dressed up as a cat girl saturday...So, it was fun. Yay. I hope it'll be more organized next year though...Okay, TTFN!!

    The pub quiz was a lot of fun...

    I learned so many new things... such as the fact that Optimus Prime didn't die from syphilis.

    And trying to drink as many of those twisty shots as possiple during the single episode of Eva made Saturday morning very interesting for me...

    The drinking game was there, ended up just being 1 episode of eva though. Was the best fun ever, I won't be able to look at Eva the same way again.

    To get this off with a bang we have enlisted the aid of as many groups around Ireland as we could think of!

    Er... You know, they teach animation in DLIADT (Dun Laoighaire) and BCFE (Ballyfermot).

    I know it's a bit late, but if you're doing this again next year I strongly recommend you get on to them too, because I doubt animation students would turn down a shindig like this!

    So... you think everyone should make an anime together...?
