[Event] Alcon, England.
Hi folks! Alcon is just a couple of months around the corner, and just my luck, I've only just dicovered it! Is anyone else going? Perhaps a Hetalia group or mini-meet could be put together! I'm not normally the sort to try to organzse gatherings *shivers* but I haven't seen anyone mention this yet and time is running out! I hope I'm not doing anything wrong with this <_<;;; So here goes nothing! *nervous*
Okay! Alcon in a nutshell:
Alcon is: An anime convention. ((Though hands up if, like me, you immediately thought 'Alfred convention!' ))
Location: Leicester university in England. ( Googlemap'd link for ya )
Date: Thurs 9th September to Sunday 12th September.
Cost : £29 entry fee for the whole shindig.
Accomodation, if you need it: En-suite campus accommodation is available at £30 per night.
Attendance : It's a 700 people con, with 100 spaces left. If you want to go, you need to book before August 16th! Tick tock, tick tock!
Themed...? : Errr... no..yes... Sort of. Chose your clan: pirates, ninjas, mechs or vampires. Appropriate cosplay, optional.
Sounds like you can make it? Vaguely interested? A little more disorderly info is babbled info under the cut, or more practical info at the website for the con is here : http://www.alcon.org.uk/

I've seen a few cons here and there in my time, but never an Alcon before, so I can only tell you what I've read. All the usual con events and panels are there, and a few unexpected ones. LittleKuriboh (abridged!) is going, I'm so excited XD I haven't booked my tickets just yet as I'm still umming and ahhing over whether should take my un-enthusiastic boyfriend and force him to reluctantly endure a convention against his better judgement, or go alone and be utterlynervous and terrified brave, because I'm a wuss at public gatherings <_<;; But one things for certain, I am going either way!
No Hetalia-y gathering is currently organised for Alcon to my knowledge, but that's what I'm hoping will come of this post. I'm not really the sort who can confidently organize or host meets, but I'd still like to know if any of the LJ Hetalia fandom turn up so I can say 'hello' at the very least!
I've got my piece-together CD!Iggy costume, but I'm also hoping to purchase another, maybe, for later in the con. No time for me to sew one from scratch now, so I wont get to be in the masquerade u_u I will be at the Cosplay Picnic and hanging around artists ally though, probably.
An interesting little feature of the con is its clan system. When you register, you can choose 'pirates', 'ninjas', 'mechs' or 'vampires', and any points you win during the convention events (like gaming tournaments, cosplay showdown, quizes or Iron artist) goes towards your clan. Needless to say, as a Pirate!Iggy fan, I will be joining the Pirate clan (if there's space left in that clan when i join!). You're encouraged to show your support for your clan with some cosplayness, but it's far from expected of you. Ah, if only I could go there in pirate Iggy cosplay! Maybe I can get a hat or patch or something at least <_<
I know there are a lot of artists in this community too, and I'm thinking of requesting a table at artists alley as I maaayyy have a USxEngland doujinshi to sell, if I work really fast and can finish on time! But one doujinshi? Pssh, hardly worth having a table for! Anyone else got any of their own fanworks they might wanna share a table with me for, if I manage to make mine in time?
Will anyone else be going? Cosplay plans at all? I hope I get to run into some of you guys there! Hetalia? Represent! *facepalm*
