2007-06-29 [Hedda]: About Dragon Con and so on: It's not so important to write a lot of information about the event that already is on their homepage. It's better to keep the information as short as possible (Where, when, how?) and then add information that isn't on their homepage (Like which Elftowners are going there and Elftowners' photos and such).

2007-06-29 [Mordigen]: Ah, gotcha ;)

2007-06-29 [Sera]: Ah, if we're including anime and such, I've got a few more...
