     Myself and four other AV Connection People/Artist will be in Borders bookstore in rundle mall tomorrow the 22nd of June form 1pm-3pm. So come in and have a chat to us about AV Connection, drawing and other art thuings or any of the Av Connection Competitions.

     After weeks of not being able to update I finally am able too. Servers are mysterious things and very annoying when they dont work like their suppose to! But enough of that. Av Con is only just over a month away!!! its so exciting! Also the t-shirts will be ready really soon... like next week. I know ive said this before but printing t-shirts is harder then it sounds, its more like wrestling a room full of monkeys!!!

     In other news the forum is up!!! Yes really. It is and if you dont believe me its located here.
In the next few weeks ill be trying to promote the Video Game side of this convention through reviews, interviews etc. So look out for these things in the next few weeks!!

    Half way through a month and I havent posted any news, man does time fly. Av Con is only 68 days away!!! How exciting! For those of you planning to buy the t-shirt rego deal, the t-shirts should be done in two weeks time, and they are definately worth the wait!!! Lately Ive been getting back into some games I havent played in years. Namely Interstate 76 and Fallout 2, both brillant games....... and rather addictive!!! And Game Cube gets released this Friday so I know where i'll be all weekend. In the mean time check out these kewl links.

  Way of the Stick - an online stick figure karate game....... very addictive and tons of fun.
  Studio Underground - an online comic by Julian Austin (see Av Con Artwork)
  Plufim - another online comic, this one by Connel Wood (see Av Con Artwork)

I'll put a link for it later on in the week on the side bar but for now this will do. Plz tell me what you all think about av con or the site as I love hearing from everyone!

      The cosplay section of the web site has now been updated with more info including the prize categories. So Im hoping to see you all go full out on you're costumes!!! For those of you who are perceptive, yes the karaoke part of the site has disappeared!!! Do not fret though as its not gone yet. Weve merged karaoke with the cosplay ball section as both will be one big event. sadly though were not too sure about the future of the karaoke part as weve had some trouble getting access to the equipment and media we need. I'll also take this chance to point out a menion of AV Con on the ryanlappin mail list. Word is travelling fast and its all so exciting!!!

      We now have an e-group through yahoo, for discussions about av con and for any questions you may have. To join visit the link here. I'll personally send out updated news through it so if you want to be kept up to date subscribe to it now!!!

      Just a quick post. I'd like to thank Adrian of the Melbourne Anime Society who was kind enough to add a link to this site on their events page. So go have a look at the MAS site , they have a lot of links to manga and anime related pages and information.

      It appears people are hearing about the AV COnnetcion from everywhere at the moment. I'd like to take the time to thank one source in particular, The Anime News Network, for posting a link to our site! I would also like to thank everyone who has emailed me since yesterday, when I posted a message asking for people coming to the AV CON to email me. All the support has been just so overwhelming and great!!! Thankyou everyone and I hope to hear form you all soon!

      To make the Av Connection a success and more importantly an enjoyable day for everyone, the AV Connection comittee has spent alot of our own time discussing and planning this event. But to make our planning more accurate we need to know approximately how many people will be coming to the CON on the 20th and 21st of July. So to all you out there planning to come drop me a line here and help us out!!

      Welcome to the launch of the new look AV Connection website! I am working hard at the moment to update and keep this site running smoothly. I hope you find the information found on this website useful and enlightening and we all hope to see you at this years first ever Anime and Video Game convention in Australia, The AV CONnection.
