Welcome to the AnimeBoston club!

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 16, 2008, 2:20 PM
Welcome to the new club ~animeboston, a club for attendees and fans of the NorthEast United State's largest anime and manga convention!
This club is started by me, :iconkitsoru-san: and moderated by myself and :icontikoinchumo: at the moment.
Updates at the bottom of this journal.

What is Anime Boston?
- Anime Boston is a convention held every year at the Hynes Convention center in beautiful Back-Bay Boston, Massachusetts that celebrates the art, media, and lifestyles of anime, manga, and its fans. The largest anime convention in the northeastern United States, The con was first held in 2003 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel, and through the years has grown so large that it has moved into the beautiful Hynes to accomodate all the attendees.
More information can be found here at the About page of Anime Boston's official site:

What IS anime/manga?
Well, manga is the Japanese word for comics. Therefore, it is generally referred to as comics originating from Japan. Examples of these series would be Sailor Moon, DragonBall, Bleach, Naruto, DeathNote, Fushigi Yugi, Gravitation, Prince of Tennis- the list goes on and on.
Anime, likewise, is the animated form of these stories into cartoons. The word originates from the French word for animation.

So, when/where is this convention?
Anime Boston is held for one Friday through Sunday weekend every year during the spring in either March, April or May (and seeming to have a habit of rotating year to year between the three) in the Back Bay area of Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The convention is easily accessible by train, car, and even airport with the Back Bay Station just across, and major highways connecting right to the main street.

Now that I know what this convention is, how do I join the club!?
Well, simple. Send a note to the club with the title 'Join', and we'll add you. Watch the club and put the icon somewhere in your journal/sig. How do you do that?
: iconanimeboston : <--- without the spaces inbetween.

What can I send the club as gallery pieces and how do I do it?
We'll accept cosplays, fanart of A-chan and B-kun (the con mascots! They're in our avatar.) and just about anything relating directly to Anime Boston. Please send a note to the club with the title 'Gallery Cosplay/Art', a link to the original deviation, and information on who the cosplayer is, who the photographer is, and what the character is and from what series. It will also help if you tell us which year/day of the con of AB the costume is from.
If art, just give us what it is (if not the mascots) and the link.
IMPORTANT! If your work was favorited by the club before you joined, dA rules dictate we must remove the favorites. If you still would like them in the club gallery, send a note as dictated!
If you'd like one of your pieces to be /removed/ from the gallery, just note the club and I'll take it down immediately.

Do I have to have attended/be attending Anime Boston to join?
No! Feel free to join just as a fan of anime cons like us!

What if I want my club to associate with yours?
Send a note with the title 'affiliates' or 'associates' or w/e, and a link to your club!

News about the convention and future years of the convention will be posted regularly in a seperate journal for that purpose!

NOW RECRUITING!
NEWS:


Cleared out last year's news~ Starting fresh after-con!

So, who else had a blast? Unfortunately, it didn't seem like we were able to all gather together this year but hey, there's always next year :D I'll definitely start the planning earlier next year. Was anyone set up in Artist Alley?

Don't forget to send in any new AB-related art or cosplay pics! I have a couple to put up already, so keep an eye on the gallery and don't forget to send in a pic or two of your own ;D

New members have been added! Welcome to all the new congoers and members!
______________________________

Anime Boston 09 is May 22-24th at the Hynes Convention Center and the Sheraton Back Bay. Make sure to keep an eye on the site for when pre-reg and hotel rates start up!

That's all for now!

I'd have liked for everyone to meet up, but at this point it might be a little late XD; Maybe we can all just look for each other, yeah?
Iunno how many of us have access to computers and can check the club right now, ah well.

If anyone saw the Felicia running around? Mostly naked catgirl, hueg blue hair? Yeah. That was me. If you saw me, let me know, yeah? :D And tomorrow I'm going to be Jam Kuradoberi from GG- look for the red cheongsam with the can-and-loop hair wig. Sunday, I'll be May from GG, look for a pirate girl in orange with an anchor.

Have fun, everyone!

Man, I need to get crackin' to finish my costumes XD

my lineup may've changed, too, it depends on what I can finish and by when ^^;

I'll try to definitely have Baiken, but I may have either Momoko from KOF XI or something else to replace Felicia..
