    Hi everybody.

    For anyone who doesn't already know me I'm the main founder of the University of Limerick Anime and Manga Society and one of the main founders of BroCon.

    After some sudden inspiration followed by some brainstorming tonight I decided to do something for anime and manga in my local area as well as in limerick

    I'm currently thinking of starting up an anime con in Athlone. Because it's prettymuch the centre of Ireland it makes a perfect place for running an event like this.

    I'm currently calling it AsaseCon (I was originally thinking AthCon, then I thought to make it more Anime related I thought Ath is Irish for ford, so I thought instead of using the Irish for Ford I would use the Japanese which is Asase)


    Because I just thought up the idea today I'm currently the only person working on this. So is anybody else out there interested in organising a con in Athlone?

    If you are interested you can e-mail asasecon@gmail.com

    Okay I have a venue lined up.

    I'm thinking the 5th and 6th of February for the convention (and maybe a table quiz on friday the 4th as an ice breaker). I'm just going to see if the dates are available and then finalise it.

    And it will take place in the Sheraton Hotel. For anyone who doesn't know Athlone it's the absolute centre of Athlone and about a 5 minute walk from the bus/train station. It has a a shopping centre underneath it. Also It's an incredibly easy building to find because it absolutely towers above all other buildings around it.

    It's a nice hotel alright. Stayed there a few times. Is it going to be centered around the conference hall or just around the bar and such?
