About the Con:
Kin-Yoobi
Con is a new and upcoming annual anime con. We did it big and wild July
6, 2007, which was our first time! With Cosplay competitions, video game
tournaments, table top gaming, live musical performances and a whole lot
more activities and events we made a lasting impression on those who
came. Since Kin-Yoobi Con of 2007 was a success, we're hosting Kin-Yoobi
Con of 2008, August 9, 2008! We'll be having many more activities and
events lined up. Best of all, Kin-Yoobi Con is conveniently held at
Chabot College in Hayward, California, in the heart of the East Bay, so
you don't have to travel far to enjoy anime fandom and video gaming fun
if you reside in the San Francisco Bay Area! We're doing it bigger and
better in 2008, hope to see you there!
Those otakus
out there that know a little something something about the Japanese
language might be wondering why Kin-Yoobi Con is called what it is. Kin-Yoobi
is Japanese for Friday however this con is being held this year on a
Saturday. The reason is because Kin-Yoobi Con was first held on a
Friday. Even though we knew holding the con on a Friday wouldn't nearly
bring as much attendance as on a Saturday we didn't have the funds
necessary to do it on a Saturday. Even still, our first con turned out
to be a success. Now that we have the resources and funds to hold the
con on a Saturday we still want to hold on to our humble roots and keep
the name as a reminder of the determination and drive that was put forth
to make the con happen even though the situation was largely against our
favor.
