It occurred to me that there should be an events thread. I'll start!

Tokonatsu:

The festival starts at 1200 on Friday 3rd August and closes at 16:30 on Sunday 5th August. The Opening Ceremony is at 1800 on Friday 3rd August. There still seem to be a few places left and it's fantastic fun. Basically you get dressed up in cosplay, stay in a tent all weekend, eat noodles and shoot each other with water pistols. I went last year with Lady K. I cosplayed as drunken old pervert.

"This year, AmeCon returns to the University of Leicester's Main Campus and will run between 10-12 August 2007"

That's like - Soon!

I totally forgot about the Midlands Expo - it was like, last weekend... :(

But the London Expo is in about 3 weeks yay! :)

Anyway; for anyone else here's the website:

it's only £8 but they do make you queue for about an hour :lol:

There's LOTS of stores to buy stuff - including TokyoToys, Cosplay, probably ParaPara if you're up for it, Manga contests if you want to draw something, and a bunch of famous people to not quite get to see.
