Uh... just wondering. So basically, Daicon is Emina Cyberjaya one, and GACC is from EMINA Melaka one. Izit?

Oh this is a must go to.

*marks it down*

huhuhu... i will b back in msia by then. count me in :3

Sorta, yeah. DaiCon is being done by the Cyberjaya chapter of EMiNA.

hmm no guest seiyuu this time? : /

Kurogane, if driving there, parking place would be where? I noted the directions, but no parking place suggested?

There will be designated parking places inside the university on that day. We will put up directions to it.

Great thanks! Now I can drive my hunk of junk there

MMU in Cyberjaya is a large campus, it's got plenty of empty parking lots - especially during weekends.
Can't guarantee you'll find a spot during the event day itself, though

The theme song for this con should be "Twilight" by Electric Light Ochestra for obvious reasons.

Go early loh

Thanks for the warning.

Lulz, seconded that.

/me gives full support for this.

hmm... near my place. maybe i should go.

Will be making the usual appearance as i do at any ACG event.

Someone mentioned that you'll be appearing as Mai Shiranui?

will go if my working shift is nite shift.

well, i just want to propose something about the parking space. what if u reserve 5-6 parking lots for your /as/ here.. that would be much appreciated. well if it isn't too much
we'll help with all our might.. just don't ended up like one last week.



dekat sikit dgn event ok juga.. ask kuro to reserve parking for us.. that would be much appreciated



ko tak join committee?

Says who?
