And it's only beginning

At Supanova I saw promos for a heap of future events:

* Gen Con Australia (3 July - 6 July) - Oh my god, where were you ten years ago, when I was still gaming and the original Gen Con was like some distant dream? But alas, this comes too late to persuade me to hike up to Brisbane for it. The one thing that stirs my interest is the Australian premiere of the Dragonlance animated movie - wow, it's not just vapourware, it really has happened. Sadly, the reviews suggest I will be disappointed.

* ReelAnime 2008 (3 July - 16 July) - It's on again at the Dendy, this time showing Appleseed: Ex Machina, Batman: Gotham Knight, Vexille, and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. I haven't seen any of these, and I am quite tempted by the $40 season pass.

* Winterfest 2008 (5 July - 6 July) - I've never been to a renaissance fair before, mostly because they're usually out of the way. North Ryde is a hike, but it's still hikeable, so yeah, I will be going there next weekend to check out the jousting and falconry and archery!

* SMASH! 2008 (2 August) - I'll be there. Will you be there?

* BjdOzCon 2008 (12 December - 14 December) - I'm not actually a collector of ball-jointed dolls myself, but it's pretty cool that there's enough of a critical mass in Australia now to fuel a convention, and who knows, I may wander by to check it out.
