Reminder to those who still ask. Kakkoicon is not MAC. MAC is just Sogencon. They refuse to give the site back to us.

Hosted at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in Minnesota, this internationally recognized three-day event comprises manga drawing workshops, guest lectures by academic experts and professionals in the anime and manga industry and a cosplay fashion show.

The event runs from September 25-27 at MCAD in Minneapolis, MN and is open to students of the school and non-students alike.

Remember! The Schoolgirls and Mobilesuits 5th Annual Fresh Fruits fashion show is on Friday!! That's a mere 5 days away! And it will be FREE! While the weekend's festivities are going to cost you $75 (since it's an academic conference with amazing international guests ranging from Japan to TOKYOPOP to Nasa), the fashion show is free and accessible to the masses. How awesome!!!

It'll be a great event at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, so come dressed in your lolita, aristocrat or steampunk finest to show your spirit! Dressing up is not required, but it will be appreciated :) Paying registrants get first seating, so plan accordingly (there are 100 people registered for the conference so far).
