Tsubasacon Announces 2008 Convention Dates
COOL RIDGE, WEST VIRGINIA – October 14, 2007 – Tsubasacon Inc., has announced the official dates for Tsubasacon 2008, the fifth outing for West Virginia's only anime convention.
Tsubasacon 2008 will be held on September 26, 27 and 28. The decision to bump the convention ahead was due to the potential conflict of having the convention on the same weekend as a Marshall University home football game.
"We've been lucky so far with our scheduling," quotes Jerad Bailey, the head of Tsubasacon's publications department, "but we couldn't predict what Marshall's home schedule was going to look like in October."
Marshall will be hosting Cincinnati at the Joan C. Edwards stadium on the first weekend of October, when Tsubasacon 2007 was held.
"We had the whole month of September to work with, but we wanted to try to keep the date as close as possible with the previous year." said Bailey.
