    Upcoming Anime/Video Game Convention Locations

    Since we're talking about upcoming conventions, here is a list I have of upcoming events. If you live in the area of any of these conventions, please let us know so we can consider events to have FFR representives present. Obviously, we can't possibly hit every single convention and most conventions will most likely be simple appearances, but any outlet through which we can promote the site would be awesome and everyone's support for the site would be greatly appreciated.

    Omfg Boise Idaho! Please God! If you came here, OMG, L_eMo_N, Zajac, and a few others I know would flip **** if you guys came to present FFR.... *drools at the idea* Sure it won't probably be the biggest convention but still, that would be amazing to meet you guys on our home turf.

        What would these FFR representatives do? I was going to go to Anime North anyway and would love to help FFR out.

          As we know there are members around the area and willing to go, we would plan the details out from there. This is mainly more of a means of which to judge interest.

            Haha, that would be good if you guys came to Boise, I would get to pre-meet everyone if you will, before I went to the Animarathon at BGSU. Plus it would give an even more incentive to get my parents to buy me plane tickets rather than me paying for them because they'd see you guys were for real and mean business. OMG, I'm hyper right now lol.

              The two conventions in New Jersey, ESPECIALLY the one in Hoboken would be a really good idea. Hoboken is close enough to NYC to basically be NYC. It would be slightly cheaper for people to stay near there. And because it is so close to the city we could go into the city anyway. Out of any ideas for an east coast convention I like that one the best.

                Roughly what would a representative do? I can't really know if I'm interested unless I know what we're going to do in a sense. Just walk around in FFR t-shirts or have a convention booth?

                  I know Edu and I could represent and do something big here. I'd be willing to set something big up.

                      Anime North is definitely a yes for me. Going there with my friends.

                      Toronto AnimeCon is a maybe, but most likely yes.

                            Ones I can most likely make it to:
                            August 8-10, 2008 - San Japan, San Antonio, Texas
                            March 21-23, 2008 - Anime Matsuri - The Woodlands, TX

                            Nes, would you like to to do a live show during the ones written above?

                              I'd like to do a live show at Animarathon. lol

                              We'll have to check that out, Starshot. Basically, we want to see how many members would be willing to go to events and once we know the scope of the event, we'll know what we can do from there. I wouldn't want to set up a display unless a staff member would be present at the event, but for other events, we can possibly arrange to send items to members to promote the site.
