NakamaCon Collapse

Journal Entry: Sun Mar 13, 2011, 8:41 AM
Hey Friends, I woke up to a sad email stating that NakamaCon (Madison, WI May 27-29) has been canceled.  The con has fallen apart due to illness and accidents with staff, a loss of their convention sponsor, and some other organizational issues...

Kind of a bummer, that the con has been canceled because its close to home and I was hoping to chill with cool Madison artists and friends again.  

Last year was NakamaCon's first year and honestly, wasn't that great of a con but I was hoping it would have been improved upon for this year and was looking forward to displaying my work again.  

Oh well, Maybe it will come back next year.

HEYYY! Are you still going to be able to go and do your semester over seas with all the crazy stuff going on over there? I just read your journal and I have some art that I can donate for your fundraiser. Let me know where/when I can drop it off.

I have no idea if I'm still going... I really want to, but it is so up in the air. And I don't want to call the exchange organization since they're probably organizing mass returns of exchange students their right now.
Um... I'll send you a note with my address where and when you can drop off your donation. Much appreciated :).

Yeah, I mean it was their first year, of course things wouldn't go amazingly well, I was definitely looking forward to it too. Hopefully they can keep planning and aim for a better con in 2012.

I was really sad to get this message too. I just learned this con existed and had signed up for AA.

About 45 min drive, can't ask for any closer than that, right?

Yup! Hopefully in 2012. See you next week at Shuto(?)

yeah, I was bummed to hear they were canceling but last year was so horrible... I almost didn't sign up again. I feel so bad for you being stuck in the restaurant... what a horrible layout.

Even though AA was a horrible experience I still had fun hanging out with the artists in the other room and living so close to Madison it was nice not having hotel and travel expenses to worry about. I was hoping to see a big improvement with the con this year but I guess its not to be.
