We're proud to have GameStop/EB Games as our sponsor for our Video Gaming room. All the latest systems along with the hottest new games! Plus we'll have tournaments hosted by the 1337girls. If you ask nicely, they'll be glad to pwn you and make you cry.

Like horror? We're bringing in industry pro Leonard Pickel (co-creater of Haunted Attraction magazine and founder of HAuNTcon) to run all of our horror related programming.

For those that like Anime, we will have an entire area devoted to all things anime and manga PLUS our first annual Anime Music Video contest!
We're pleased to have Manga artist Chris Hazelton - artist of A Steel Wing Shattered with us. Also, cosplayer extrodinare, Kelldar (Kell Yarwood) will host panels on everything ranging from creating a costume, to playing the part. AND your very own LadyK will be on hand and run some panels (or whatever Sarka has planned for her).

We're now including MAKE-UP WARS where teams of three (2 artists and 1 victim) will be given a bag of goodies (identical for all teams) to come up with the best finished face.

We've had several film submissions come in (some previous award winners!), including "The Cellar Door", "House of Carnage", and "Stupid Teenagers Must Die" so there will be loads of horror and suspense viewing pleasure.

The Syrens of the South (bellydancing troupe) will be doing a horror based routine. Nothing sexier than bellydancing zombies, eh? :)

Also, the Sadistic Scenic City Sideshow will be doing their thing with things only seen at those old small town circuses you've heard about (but have never seen).

Of course we'll have Chainsaw Sally (April Burill) herself onhand along with Suzi Lorraine, Jim O'Rear and Ted Alderman to further the horror cause!

We've extended the $30 3-day membership for the rest of December, but at the door is only $35 (but hey... 5 bucks is 5 bucks, right?). Check out http://www.connooga.com for all the latest and if you have any suggestions or ideas, you can reach us at [email protected].
