NekoCon 13 November 5th – 7th 2010

NekoCon will be in the dealers room (Back left corner) with our normal wares and such. We will also have our pre-registration open as well. So come on bye and pickup a t-shirt (We’ll probably be having a fire sale on some of our older merchandise) and pre-register for this year’s NekoCon.

Each year we hold an auction with donations from industry and guests and the proceeds from that auction go to a charity that we chose each year. Last year (With your help) we raised a little over $800 for a group called Charity:Water. After all was said and done between a few extra private donations and some extra that we felt like chipping in we sent in a total of $1600. Normally we would pick a new charity each year but this year I have decided that Charity:Water’s mission is important enough that we should give it another shot. Mostly because I know that we can do better. Our goal this year is to raise at least $5000. That’s enough money to drill a well and provide clean fresh water for a community of 250+ people. Here’s the fun part, through out the year at each convention that we go to we’ll be collecting as well as at NekoCon itself. We are not even going to ask you for a whole lot. Just $1.50, about what you would spend on a soda. It’s time that we show the world the power of the Otaku and together we can make a difference.

By popular demand (Really guys I did not even get a chance to start my Christmas Shopping yet!) we are going ahead and announcing the dates for NekoCon 13! NekoCon 13 will be held on November 5th through 7th 2010 at the Hampton Roads Convention Center in Hampton Virginia.

Once again we had another successful year! While our attendance numbers were down this year (3429 attendees this year) overall it was a very successful year. Over the next few weeks and months we will be posting all kinds of wrap up information for this year as well as posting information about next year. So keep a eye out on this site as well as our forums for new and exciting information!
Thanks!
