We Survived Katsucon 14!

Posted in Conventions, Site News on February 18th, 2008

Barely…

The con was an absolute blast, but we’re going to go on a short hiatus in order to recover. Rest assured, you can expect normal operations to resume Monday, with our coverage of Katsucon 14 coming Wednesday!

I’m sure I’m forgetting a ton of people (we just got in from the road), but special thanks/shoutouts to Ananth from Applegeeks for being awesome, Stevey B for having some epic stories to tell during the late show, Greg Ayers for putting off “more important things” to be on the show, Emily, Kate, Katsu, and Pete for being most excellent GeekNights/Katsucon staff, Videotopia for making the gaming room amazing, and of course, GameKatsu for being the best damn con gaming staff on the East Coast.

Also, huge shoutouts to all of the listeners we met! I remember Viga and Crueldragon off the top of my head, but we’ll have more to say in our con coverage this Wednesday!
