EirtaKon 2009 Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland.

Eirtakon 2009 has hit through the magical number of 1,000 attendees, cementing its place as the largest anime event in the country and attracting fans from all over the world.

Eirtakon 09's esteemed guest of honour, Kevin M. Connolly, put on a unique fan dubbing panel on both the Saturday and Sunday of Eirtakon, where lucky fans got a chance to dub over sections of Kevin's favourite anime scenes.

Just a quick word to anyone who pre-registered but has not yet received their tickets. If you bring proof of payment, ideally in the form of a print out of your Paypal confirmation, we will give you your ticket(s) at the weekend.

Just a reminder to those that didn't pre-register that you can still buy tickets at the convention on the weekend.

Got the skills? Get the game!

The Eirtakon committee is proud to announce that www.gamesnash.ie, Ireland's only dedicated online games retailer, will be present with a wide selection of games from their range available for purchase at Eirtakon. They will also be offering a unique opportunity for attendees to swap and sell their games on the day, the first of its kind in Ireland!

The event and anime schedules for Eirtakon 2009 are now online.

Those of you who have received tickets over the past few days may have noticed that we included a copy of your invoice with the ticket(s). This was solely for your reference with regards the tickets. I have had a number of emails regarding a line at the top of the sheet referencing payment. That was left in by accident. If you have received a ticket then you have paid in full and you are recorded as having done so.
Thanks,
Keith O'Sullivan
Registration Officer
