just an observation... think about it from everyone else's point of view 
for a change...)

Well, has anyone tried to put a con together down there?  Would it be
feasible?

ok Crombie... yes we do have the occasional Con down here - I think there 
is one comming up in a week or two here in Brisbane (called Parliment of 
Dreams or something...) - but that's a Sci-Fi con... not an anime one...  
the major problem that *I* believe stuffs up the idea of a dedicatred 
anime con is the fact that we have so few distributors of anime that 
would be interested... add the fact that anime is not exactly a 
'mainstream' entertainment item... and you're looking at either a 
*really* weak convention or no convention at all...

But then I *could* be wrong - any other Australians that have been to a 
convention dedicated to anime (here in Australia I mean...) - let me 
know..

Spock: Sir, what these people are saying is logical; If we use up a 
       finite resource, logic dictates that eventually all 
       resources will be exhausted and the resulting calamity 
       will expunge all life forms...
