All these news bits are found on other websites and thus are the responsibility of those sites to be true or not :)

I will paraphrase them and site the source i found them on.

<b>ADV films and Best Buy stores strike a deal:</b>

Coming this month you should be able to find ADV films for sale at all Best Buy locations. Films such as Spriggan, Eva perfect collection, Excel Saga, and Steel Angel Kurumi.

The fifth installment of the Soul Hunter series is coming out on June 18th.

<b>A-Kon is coming fast.</b>

If you did not know, there is a huge japanese animation festival happening in Dallas Texas (near where i live) on May 31st- June 2nd. It's 35 bucks for all 3 days and probably something like 15 dollars for one day (tho i cant find where it says the one day price on the site)
The kon will include such events as:

Anime You Dont Know Jack Gameshow
Resin Model Contest
Karaeoke
Jpop dance rooms
Huge dealer room
Gaming rooms
Cosplay
ARTSHOW (one of my fav things to see at anime conventions)
First ever North American concert by a popular jpop band called Duel Jewel
Music Video contest
Cel drawing classes
and lots more

If you're in the dallas area make plans to be there, an anime convention is certaintly something to behold, and you can even meet me in person if you attend. You'll also be able to meet my coworkers since alot of them will be working at the Gamestop booth at the kon. i wont be workin at the booth but i'll be there for sure.
