Ohio/Midwest DToiders: ShinbokuCon?
WDot | 9:41 PM on 04.17.2008 7 comments


There's going to be an an Anime/Tabletop/Video Game con this Sunday at Lorain County Community College. Yes, I know where Japanator is, but I tend to spend a lot more time on Destructoid and was wondering if there were any Dtoiders in and around Ohio who'd be interested in going.

Admission is free and there will be Halo 3, Rock Band, and Super Smash Bros Brawl tournaments, and, if previous years are any indication, there will be free play too. The only rule for signing up for tournaments is to sign up before it starts.

The official site has more information, but the con basically runs the gamut of geek culture: Anime, tabletop, games, cosplay, cards, and on and on. The thing I thought was interesting is that they booked Ultraball, a band that writes songs dedicated to various Pokemon.

I'll be dressing up as the TF2 Scout for the day and will definitely try to get pictures up after the con is over. It'd be awesome to see some Dtoiders at the event.

Here's a map to the campus where it's being held. The con will mainly be in Spitzer center, a large building next to a sculpture in a cul-de-sac in the parking lot.

I hope some of you'll come, it should prove to be a lot of fun.
