I refuse to call it Jamboree. :P

This is going to be unlocked for a week. :)

Anyways, here's my con report/highlights/description of con shenanigans.

First of all, Yaoi Jamboree is a horribly named convention that was held at the Phoenix Renaissance Hotel (or something like that), in Glendale. This is its first year and for a first year con, it has an impressive guest list. Some of them being Futaba Aoi and Mitsuba Kurenai (Level C, West End, Tokyo Guardian) and Eiki Eiki (The Art of Loving, Dear Myself, World's End) and Zaou Taishi (Princess Princess, Electric Hands, Kakumei no Hi).

As a general review of the con, it wasn't too bad, but I only went one day, which was, from what I can see from the schedule, the only time worth going. It was when they had the guest panels and also, the publisher's panels. I think it could have been planned better, and really needs more PR the next time. It certainly has a lot of potential and the hotel was really nice and ritzy so I hope they keep that.

Anyways, over all it was good. Actually it was more than good. I wasn't expecting too much out of the con, and was just there for the guest. I knew that I would have fun regardless (because of who I was going to be with), but my expectations were surpassed. :D

Okay, enough review-y stuff. Time for the shenanigans! Ugh, I'm getting giddy just thinking about it again. XD

( Shenanigans! (I love that word!) )

Longest entry in a while. LOL

So...it really was a lot of fun. I had a blast and now I can't stop thinking about how going to YCon would be so much more fun. Anyways, thanks again to
