Press Release: June 03, 2008
Hello Faithful Con-goers and Otaku,
We at Setsucon are pleased to announce that we are having our third convention! It will be held once again at the Days Inn Penn State on January 17th and 18th of 2009. This time around there will be new guests, activities and events lined up as well as some returning favorites. Were bringing back a lot of our programming including anime viewings, AMVs, live event demonstrations, panels, video gaming and gaming tournaments, as well as the Artists Alley and Vendors room. We will be reprising our (local, national, maybe even world?) famous Setsucon Host Club Auction, which will again be run as a charity event.
To see more information about the convention including registration, hotel information, and our current schedule, simply visit our website. Be sure to stay tuned for updates when they become available. If youd like, you can check out our forums to chat with staff members, see updates, and give your opinions and critiques. Thank you to all of you who attended in 2008! We hope to see you and many newcomers attend in 2009, and remember, we are cosplay friendly!

STATE COLLEGE, PA -- November 12, 2006 -- The staff of Setsucon and the
Penn State Anime Organization regret to announce that Setsucon,
originally planned for January 26-28th , 2007, has been scaled down to
a ONE-DAY CONVENTION. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.
Setsucon will now be held on Saturday, JANUARY 27, 2007 at the State
College Days Inn. Registration costs have also been revised.
Pre-registrations post marked or received by January 6^th are $12.
Registration is also available at the door for $15. Partial or full
refunds are available for previously registered attendees.
Financial issues forced this first time convention to scale down its
operations. However, we are still offering a full array of programming
including viewings, video gaming, live performances, masquerade, and a
dance along with a dealer's room and an artist's alley.
Setsucon, located in the geographical center of Pennsylvania, is a first
time anime convention catering to the students of Penn State University
and the surrounding community. Located at the State College Days Inn,
in State College, PA, Setsucon is within walking distance of the
University Park Campus (Main Campus) of Penn State University.
Setsucon is hosted by the Penn State Anime Organization (PSAO). Since
September 2001, the PSAO has been bringing anime, manga and Japanese pop
culture to the University Park campus. Working to provide both weekly
screenings and a social environment for Penn State's anime/manga fan
base, the PSAO is continually broadening its horizons. The PSAO
meetings serve multiple functions, including our free weekly anime
screenings. We also arrange trips to conventions, have club social
events, facilitate DDR events on campus, and much much more!
