The Convention Fans Blog

Last time I wrote about Star Wars Celebration V, Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) was the only person on the guest list and not a whole lot more was known. Boy have things changed in the past few months. There is seemingly little doubt that Star Wars Celebration V is going to be a fandom convention of downright galactic proportions. And oh yeah, this guy named George Lucas will be there, and he’s being interviewed by this other guy named John Stewart.

Librari-Con is an annual anime mini convention that features anime viewing, panels, forums, an artist alley, a “Chibi Corner”, a manga lounge, cosplay runway, gaming, and more. Librari-Con 2010 is being held at the Headquarters Library in Fayetteville, North Carolina on September 4.

Loyal readers of The Convention Fans Blog: welcome to the site’s new look! Thanks for your patience this weekend as we updated the appearance of the site! We decided it was time for a general design overhaul, and the results turned out pretty good (at least we think so!). For the past two and a half years, The Convention Fans Blog has been bringing you news, interviews, advice, free giveaways, and more. And guess what? We have no intention of stopping any time soon!

Hello loyal readers. Over the next 24 hours or so The Convention Fans Blog will be undergoing some changes, as I switch WordPress themes. I’ll be honest here… I’m not 100% sure I know what I’m doing. I have no doubt that I’ll break a few things along the way. However, I do hope that come Monday morning it will look even prettier than before.

You may be wondering why a blog dedicated to fandom conventions would be writing about Twitter. Hell, you may even be wondering what Twitter is! For those who may not know, Twitter is a social media site that allows users to post 140 character messages to the internet.
