Hey folks, if you’re out in the Kitchener area of Ontario and are looking for a neat little event, we’ll be at Emiko’s Mini-Convention this weekend. It runs from the 20th to 22nd and is hosted at the Delta Hotel on 105 King Street East, Kitchener, ON.

If you’re at the con or in the area, drop by and say hi! We’ll have a promotional table at EMC where you can learn more about ConBravo!, meet some of our staff and volunteers, and ask us questions. See you there!

In way of community service, we felt everyone should know about FanService Productions and their casting call. They’re Toronto-local, so be sure to look ‘em up!

FanService Productions is creating a comedy about people who go to conventions. We plan to do everything we can to make this happen. To create a pilot for this show we need a main cast, secondary characters, extras, crew, and any other help we can get. If you are interested please give us some support and help make a great show.

Show Premise: Jordan is just finishing college. With a connection through his teacher, he’ll land an internship at his dream job. Sadly, the teacher wants a favor from him: joining the school’s Anime Club, run by his niece. Their sixth member dropped out and without the extra person, their club will lose all their benefits. Jordan reluctantly accepts and joins the Anime Club under the false pretense that he needs extracurricular activities for his resume. He meets a socially inept group of convention goers and is soon thrust into the world of Anime and Conventions.

Please support us and join in on the fun by liking our Facebook page and following us on twitter.

CB! will very likely be screening the premiere of this show, so please support it and get involved!

Hey ladies and gents,

Let me tell you a story. This story is about the constant change to our message boards. First there was the great data dump of 2010, then the spam fiasco of 2011, and now? Now we’re going to just change things up completely. Originally we used phpBB, then SMF as our forum systems. It meant we always had to keep accounts separate, and for some reason, it never occurred to anyone that WordPress (which our site is built upon) might have some kind of plugin.

Lo and behold, we discovered SimplePress. SimplePress has made including a forum so, so easy, that we heartily recommend it to everyone out there that runs a WordPress site. It’s pretty much hassle-free, straightforward, and a dream to use. Fast too!

With that said, we’d like you all to come on back and register with us over at the forum. Not only does it grant you forum access, but allows you to comment anywhere on this site via one account.

We look forward to your discussions!

Welcome back one and all, it’s a new year and that means ConBravo! is on the horizon!
