We’re catching our planes for Indianapolis today.  Be sure to check out our schedule of events here.

Also, be sure to visit the Mint Chocolate Chippies in the Exhibitor Hall at booth number 2532.

Lastly – here’s some Twitter accounts to follow for up to the minute updates  from  the convention:

• @WasabiAnime (for reminders of our events starting and  news from the con.)
• @MCCmodels (live updates from the Mint Chocolate Chippies from the Exhibitor’s Hall all weekend.)
• @TomCroom (random tweets about the convention from someone who knows almost nothing about gaming.)
• @JoeySnackpants (some tweets from the convention… but mostly containing the word “blarg”.)

Summer is here – and that means it’s fan convention season! Twitter is one of our favorite “up to the minute” news tools for learning about things going on in the lives of our fans and friends along with updates for conventions and events we plan on attending.  Starting today, we’ll post the name of a Twitter account (via our Twitter) that we think you should follow because we do – and we like what we’ve read there.

(In true Wasabiverse style, expect us to throw in a few shameless plugs from our staffs’ Twitters here and there – but we promise they are interesting to!)

So if you haven’t already, add @WasabiAnime to your follow list and read about the world through green tinted lenses.

A little while back the InvaderCON website offered to give away more signed photos from Richard Horvitz, the voice of Invader ZIM if they could achieve the following:

• Over 1000 fans of Facebook
• Over 500 followers on Twitter

The randomly selected winners are:

Facebook: “Anne Elise” (profile private)

Twitter: http://twitter.com/SandiBieber

We took time today to update our Twitter lists with a bunch of new conventions and events.  Be sure to follow your fandom’s local conventions on Twitter!

SPECIAL THANKS to our friends at http://containment.greententacles.com/ for supplying much of the update.  They have a great site for finding local conventions in your area.  It’s a great tool for any fan.

About two weeks ago, we announced a contest to win an autographed photo (like the one above) of Richard Horvitz, the voice of Invader ZIM, on the InvaderCON social networking sites. The goals were:

-Facebook: 500
-MySpace: 200
-Twitter: 500

Well – Twitter is still below goal… so no prize for them! Facebook & MySpace both came through with flying colors. As of this writing, the Facebook has 561 fans and MySpace has 248 friends.

The WINNERS are (for Facebook) Kelly and (for MySpace) Nick. Both have been contacted via their respective social network sites to make arrangements to mail their prizes.

If you’d still like a chance to win, add yourself to the InvaderCON Twitter! We’ll give away ONE MORE AUTOGRAPH when the number of followers reaches 500!
