Bakuretsu Con 2008: Update
Planning has begun for Bakuretsu Con 2008! Join us for another year filled with panels, workshops, events, friends, and laughs.
This year we are pleased to announce the addition of two more panel and event rooms. For those familiar with our layout we will be moving Video Room 1 to a smaller room and using its former location as a new panel room. The second room will be a smaller room for smaller panels, workshops, and group meetings.
We are adding more than just space for events. We also have plans for a redesigned web site to include on-line sign up for people interested in running panels and many other improvements.
On-line registration will be available soon. Mail in registration is now open and you can download the form on this page.
