A Weekend Full of Action!

Wednesday, April 16, 2008
So we've been talking about this for quite some time now, but the time has finally come...
Bookman's Anime Fest
Is upon us!
Come join us this Saturday at Bookman's Phoenix location, 19th Ave and Northern! The events begin at Noon and run all the way until 8pm. Talk about some Fanfics, do some Cosplay, play some games, watch some vids, listen to some
Toybox, and have some fun! We'll be having fun right there with you. For more details, be sure to click the link on the left! It has a detailed schedule.
Bookman's is just one day of the weekend! On Sunday we also have our monthly AniZona meeting! Come join us at JB's Restaurant to meet, greet, and hear what is going on behind the scenes.

One Year!!!

Saturday, April 12, 2008
Today we begin the one year countdown to AniZona '09! We all know how fast one year can pass. Before that time comes we will all add 1 to our ages, we will have a bountiful Christmas, Halloween, a wonderful Thanksgiving, and all sorts of other special events. Between now and then we will also have completed a few mini-cons and had all sorts of fun with all of you!
Ahhh, reminiscing about the future is fun. With a full year to go, we are well on our way to having the most well-prepared convention yet in Arizona. While having a good portion of guests, events, and staff already in place helps, your support is what really drives us. One could not ask for a better community, and for this we thank you!
Come join us this next weekend for our first mini-con, Bookman's Anime Fest. For those who have attended any meeting with us, you know how we love to have fun. Bring a friend too! For more information, click the link over to the side there.

One Year!!!
