I just don’t get seeing 2 (apparently gay) guys doing it as fun.

Screw this shit. /runs

The first day was to be honest an unexpected uncontrollable headache. The university apparently decided to have an open day on the very same time and the actual venue for GACC was pushed to the nearby classrooms which was hot, small, cramped and ridiculously hot. Did I mention hot? Cause it was like HOT! The air-conditioning was futile with the large amounts of visitors packed into the small makeshift venue. The MC’s both veterans of the ACG community were however there to lighten up the mood and try to create a fun atmosphere.

Then came the usual mix of activities that one would have expect from a large ACG event such as stage performances, competition and tournaments. The second day was a relief as the GACC committee was finally allowed to use the Examhall and to the relief of the visitors as well as it was fully air-conditioned. Cosplayers and the number of visitors were well below the amount seen in previous years. I guess maybe it was just at the wrong timing and the long distance from Kuala Lumpur. In any case, it was still a memorable event with friends meeting up and enjoying themselves with the ongoing activities in and out of the hall.

Yes, I know this isn’t much of a review but I was busy manning the the Anime Depot and the Emina booth. Besides I was too damn tired anyways. My head was spinning the entire weekend I was there. Too bad for me I guess. Be cause of that I really wasn’t able to take much pictures that I would like too. Now that was dissappointing to say the least.

In other news, I’ve finally made a proper watermark for all my future picture uploads. Looks way better than the previous one. As I’ve mentioned previously, I did not have much of a chance to take pictures of cosplayers and the like during my time at GACC but take a look at some of those that I did. Did some experimental photoshop. Kinda like how it turned out. As usual, comments and constructive criticism is very much appreciated.

Presenting EMiNA Cyber’s and Malaysia’s first ever ‘Japanese Modern Culture Convention’ DAICON!!!!!!

I’ve always wanted to organise one again since getting involved in the very first GACC back in my Foundation (Alpha) days back in Melaka. Ah…the nostalgia. But since I’m already here in EMiNA Cyber and Its going to be my final year here I see that this might be my last chance to reach a flag strike something off my life’s to-do-list. There’s still ALOT of work to do but as they say “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”.

Details are as follows:

Date: 11-12th of July 2009 (yes, I know it clashes with Cosfest)
Venue: Grand Hall, Multimedia University, Cyberjaya
Time: 10.00am-7.00pm

For more information and inquiries, you can visit our website at www.daiconnews.com. Its gonna be BIG. Very very BIG. On a scale never seen before in any Anime, Comics or even Games(ACG) type events before in the country. This isn’t really a ACG event by the way and more of it related to the modern visual culture of Japan which coincidentally coincides with everything related to ACG as well. Talk about killing 2 neko with one boulder…heh.

Stay tune for more updates. Who knows…you just might get hints on what to expect if you read between the lines.

Oh, if you have any inquiries(regarding DaiCon) you can contact me at chris@daiconnews.com or at our general inquiry email at info@daiconnews.com.
