Gale-Kon just finished its first Convention weekend appearance at Bishiecon 09, We had our staff of 4 run the table for the weekend and had a wonderful time. the weekend consisted of 2ltrs of Mnt Dew, twinkies, loads of Bishies, Steak-N Shake, and a vending machine being assulted by fan girls. We had loads of lovely conversations with the Kon-goers and staff members from several other Kons (Anime Iowa being one).
We were able to try out a new idea for the table and set up several sheets of poster board for everyone to draw on. It was a success for the fact we were still open till 4am Friday night/Saturday morning as well as the same time Saturday night/Sunday morn. There was always a constant exchange of artistry at our table.
We here at Gale-Kon are hard at work setting up the site and are very thankful for all the help so far. Our new design will be up soon if not yet up allready. Today marks the start of Pre-Reg for the convention with the Kon only being 7 months away. Pay-Pal is in the process of being set up as well as the Pre-Reg page.

GALE-KON HAS ITS LOCATION!!!!!!!!
I recived the call moments ago about the confirmation of the convention location. It will be partially held at the Sandburg Mall, located in Galesburg Il. Because of the lacking economy, several of the business buildings of the mall are now vacant, bustleing with space, and are ours for the picking. We now have to set up a block with the local hotel across the street and get this Kon ball rolling.

Well after attending the Japanese festival in St Louis this past weekend, I have time to update the Gale-Kon page.
I spoke with the heads for Bishie Kon and Kawa Kon about acquiring a table for Gale-Kon to advertise at Bishie Kon in November/09 . Katrina and her husband also shared some helpful first year kon advice that was very useful. We as the Kon are still awaiting several business in town for replies and will keep you all posted.

Well the picnic was a blast and we had 25 people attend the event. The day could have been warmer but it still turned out ok for what it was.
Here is a list of what happened though:
12 Pizzas destroyed
10 2ltrs of pop drank
6 hours of Naruto UN3 brawl
Sephy made an Aerith out of 10 victems
30 minutes of constant Caramelldansen to our 3 vict...ahem contestants.
I will be posting the winners soon here as well as the location of the convention. We are 60% of the way done with the hunt for the convention location and may have a definite spot in the next week.

I have been in contact with several business in the area and have some wonderful news. I talked to Pepperoni's Pizza and Casey's Party creations here in Galesburg about sponsorship. I will be discussing with them at a later time about advertisement in exchange for sponsorship as in selling pizza at site, magic/D&D supplies, and possible cash donations. Casey's all depends on the amount of people attending for donations, but could possibly help with card tournaments. But what Kon wouldn't be awesome without on site Pizza?
