Well, after numerous meetings, the O-ChibiCon Staff looked at all the things we
had put together for this year's Fancy Pants Edition convention. We had guests,
dealers, music, activities, shows, contests, and art. And with all of that, we've
come to one conclusion.
It wasn't "FANCY" enough!
So we're going back to our roots and revamping everything. And when I say 'roots',
I mean it. We're going to the streets of Houston, Texas (and surrounding areas)
for new ideas and activities for our convention. We're not going to be another
cookie cutout of other conventions. Rest assured you can attend O-ChibiCon and
find something you won't normally see at any other convention. Houston has a wide
variety of Japanese culture just waiting to be seen. From new artists, to new
musicians, Houston is big enough for everyone. And our convention will be the new
show place for these people.
But this new change won't happen overnight. So we're pushing back the O-ChibiCon
date until everything is perfect. But don't feel sad thinking you won't have
anything to do this summer. Remember when I said that we're going back to our
roots? Well, the legendary "ChibiCon" is making a comeback! That's right. All
summer long, starting in June, the original ChibiCon (half-day convention) is
going on tour all over the great city of Houston. And it's not going to be the
old ChibiCon you're used to. Every ChibiCon will have a special activity and
contest. Such as a super special Scantly Clad Cosplay during a picnic at Memorial
Park on a hot September night! So stay tuned right here for the dates and locations.
And don't worry about O-ChibiCon. Once we get the revamping done, we'll have all
the date, guest, and location info right here! For more information on ChibiCon,
