there's a kinda interesting story behind why it's 2.5...but I won't bore you with that now (PM me if you want to hear it)

Like last year, the con is held on the last weekend in February (Feb 27 - Mar 1 2009) in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Union building (we have pretty much this entire building booked for the weekend)
Guests so far are Yamila Abraham of Yaoi Press, Wendy Powel (Envy in FMA, The Fever Demon in Shin Chan, etc...) and Todd Haberkorn (Hikaru in Ouran High School Host Club, Watanuki in xxxHolic, etc...)
The AMV Contest is coming back (as soon as I get the rules back up and change the submission form) as are the Cosplay Contest, Character Auction and Dance, and Video Game Room. The Vendors room and Artist's alleys will also be there (there have been talks of a silent art auction as well.)
We're working on getting as many martial arts clubs as we can to give demonstrations throughout the weekend as well. The Kung-Fu Club is returning, so if you come you might be able to [truthfully] say that you know kung-fu by the end of the weekend.
Pre-reg is available until January 17, and is $25 for Non-UWM students (click here to go to the pre-reg page)
I'm still the webmaster and amv guy, but this year I'm also the Vice Coordinator, so if you have any questions you can send an email to any of my 3 accounts
