Edit: If you're here for photos from the con, you can check my photos section or Flickr (same photos, but going directly to my Flickr account may be a bit faster).

Just a little bit of promotion here for a local Knoxville event--Kajonk-A-Con is going to be held December 5-7 at the UT Conference Center.

Kajonk-A-Con is an anime and gaming convention. They will feature a lineup of concerts as well as panels by Jon LaCure, a professor with UT's Japanese Language Department. (There's a listing of panels and guests on their site.)

They're relatively new (I think this is their second year), so they're not as big as MTAC or AWA, but they do have one advantage--they're local. It's worth supporting just to establish an event like this in Knoxville. Pre-registration is $20 through Dec. 3 or $35 at the door. UT students can get in for $10.

As a side note, Chainsaw Buffet is going to have a table at KAC. So, you know, you can come by and meet some of the famous guys behind the famous podcast. Or something.
