Two event-related news items!

Otakon – August 8-10, 2008, Baltimore Maryland.

Yuricon/ALC will be running the Yuri Panel on Friday, August 8th at 1PM. Check the schedule for the location – and to confirm the time. You *know* it will change. :-)

Also, drop by the Yuricon/ALC booth in the Dealer’s Room (Table 611) for Yuri manga, t-shirts, pins, postcards and other goods – we even have a “I Love Yuri” Teddy Bear! Anyone who spends more than $25 at the table will get a chance to enter a drawing for this anime art-inspired Catwoman figurine. Cool, huh?

MangaNEXT – October 31 – November 2, 2008, Somerset, NJ

ALC Publishing is looking for Yuri artists and doujinshi creators to get together for a “Circle of Yuri” in the MangaNEXT Artist’s Alley. If you are a Yuri artist, and would like to reserve a table in the Circle of Yuri, please contact me at anilesbocon at hotmail dot com with the subject “Circle of Yuri”. You will be paying for your own table – a table and membership will be $50. I’ll provide promotion and a sense of community. :-) I’d love to see if we could get a little Yuri Row started in the closest thing to Comiket here in America! :-)

I’m looking forward to seeing you all at these great events!
