Quick post today because my brain is exploding.

There are just about ten (10!) days left for Pre-registration to Yuricon’s 2007 “Yurisai” event.

I just boxed up all the manga I’ll be bringing for the Yuri Library…it’s a lot of manga…and even more doujinshi. Some of it has never before been seen in America, some of it will be stuff that you will never see again. (That’s not meant to sound as ominous as it does….lol)

And time is also counting down on the Yurisai” Poster and Fanfiction Contests. Our theme is, quite naturally, “Fairs and Festivals”. We know that you’ll have a great time out our Festival of Lilies, and we want to see your artwork and stories showing our mascots Yuriko and Midori enjoying fairs and festivals too. Ferris Wheels or goldfish scooping, running with the bulls or watching fireworks over a lake – you decide the festival and show or tell us all about it. Check out the submission deadlines on the Yurisai home page.

Get those entries in before the September 7 deadline and we’ll see you at the “Yurisai in 33 days!

Lots of updates on the Yuricon website!

The Events page has been updated with more new events form 2007 and updates for our upcoming “Yurisai!”

Hotel rooms are available for the “Yurisai” event. Use the code “yuricon” when you book. And Pre-registration will be open until September 7th – save on the at-door price when you pre-reg.

Yuricon/ALC will be at the New York Anime Festival, sharing a table with BL publisher and good friends Drama Queen. (We’re also trying to get a Yur panel on the schedule, so if you’re planning on attending, email them and let them know that you’re like that Yuri Panel!)
