... May I...? Updates! More updates! 1. Think you have a little "star quality" in you? Check this out: Anime North Fashion ShowSunday, May 28th at 2 PM at the Second Stage at the TCC. This will be a chance to show off your costumes, without the pressure of doing a skit or act. You and or your group will go up on stage and walk the runway, do a twirl and then hold for 10 seconds for pictures (If you wish that is. You can choose this option). You will then walk back and off stage where you can feel free to pose for more pictures and autographs. (Like the stars you are). check out the details (and new web art )at: www.animenorth.com/fashion.php2. Tired of the little green gecko on TV selling insurance? Here's your chance to do things your way; whatever your style is: Anime Gusto's Geico 2006 Skit ChallengeSunday, May 28th at 3 PM at the Second Stage at the TCC This is a simple skit contest based on the Geico Car Insurance commercial. The skit can be almost anything, but must follow the formula: "I have really good news", (whatever response), "No, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico." Response from other person then END. Each skit should only be about 2 or 3 minutes. It will be based on creativity, hilarity, shock value and making sure it works with the characters. Participants can wear any costume (Cosplay/Gothic Lolita/Original Characters). For more info: www.animenorth.com/geicoskit.php3. Think you have what it takes to make it in the fashion business anime-style? This is the challenge for you: Lighting RoundSunday 1-2PM The Lightning Round is an intense showdown between contestants who have a mere hour to fabricate a costume out of the provided materials. Each group will have a model who will showcase the costume in the Cosplay Fashion Show, and will be judged against other Lightning Round entrants. For more info and registration: www.animenorth.com/lightning.phpThat's it for the moment!

... Greetings...
You will need your confirmation letter to get into the convention grounds. The letter is your "boarding pass" to get your badge for the weekend, no matter when you decide to go.
I have a copy of your letter since you registered through me. I will e-mail you the confirmation letter soon. Worry not.
