The forums are back online! Thank you for waiting. We decided, in the end, to leave them on the same server for this year (even with the ads) so that you can keep your old accounts.

Website Changes (And More to Come!)

We've added event descriptions and some staff bios. A wave of big changes will come soon, including an announcement of the date and location for 2009 by the end of the month.

Our entire website will have a cool new look soon.

Look for our new flier at WorldCon this week, and wait for it to appear at some of your favorite local hangouts in the next few weeks.

Announcing: An Awesome New Theme!

Following the pattern from 2008 of pairing our main theme with food, our theme for 2009 is "Mechs and Marshmallows", celebrating all of our fine metal friends and, of course, fluffy, cylindrical snacks! We will have several events based on our theme and lots of yummy artwork coming soon!

Big Name Change!

For 2009, we will be starting our changeover to a new name and a bit of a new game! This is going to be a year of changes. A lot of new staff members have joined the team, and the familiar look of the website will change pretty soon. We'll still bring you the same great convention and your favorite events from past years as well as some new ideas to spice things up.

Our teaser tagline for now, "Boldly going where otakudom has never gone before!", is temporary until we announce next year's theme, but it reflects the sense of change and new adventures that will continue throughout the 2009 convention. Anime St. Louis will continue to take you on adventures, whether they be into Japan's past or a robot-filled future.

We will continue to use Anime St. Louis as a subtitle for our convention name throughout this year, but don't be surprised if we don't use it much past 2009. Our beautiful new name, Kawa Kon, means "River Con", and the river, as those of you who are familiar with Mark Twain will know, is forever changing.

For any additional information about Kawa Kon, don't hesitate to email us at katrina@kawakon.com.
