I'm discussing with Heather, from your team, about a Plushie workshop. She helped me out at Con-G and mentioned your convention. It sounds AWESOME.

Then lets get talking about it XDD

[siyrean]

i just want to say the website looks a lot better this year. to be honest it looked kind of cheap last year.

[Lightning Baron]

Yes! Ticket acquired! (Does Final Fantasy style victory dance)

[HidoshiNobunaga]

The website last year was pretty rushed. We were upgrading our overall show and a lot of the design got pushed into the background. This year we have a much better handle on things, so the website and other promo/info materials could move forward more steadily.

Glad to hear you guys are excited!
