Yaoi-Con 2008 | A Celebration of Male Beauty & Passion in Anime & Manga

Hi everyone,

I'd like to invite you to check out my band, The Slants. We're kind of like an 80's synthpop band - a combination of Depeche Mode, New Order, Joy Division and more modern acts like The Faint and Depeche Mode - except Asian.

So if you like dancable rock, Asian type stuff, or anything of the sort, drop by and give us a shot. We're going to be in your area soon!

Also, if you're into Yaoi...we're playing at Yaoi Jamboree, a new convention in Glendale, AZ. Who knows, maybe we'll play at Yaoi Con and auction off our band members this year?!

Aren't you playing at Anime Oasis this year?

We are indeed!

Conventions that we are scheduled for the rest of the year include:

Seito ChibiCon (San Jose, CA)
Anime Oasis (Boise, ID)
Sakuracon (Settle, WA)
MTAC (Nashville, TN)
No Bran Con (Eau Claire, WI)
Yaoi Jamboree (Phoenix, AZ)
Animix (Killeen, TX)
Tokyo in Tulsa (Tulsa, OK)
Kin-Yoobicon (San Francisco, CA)
Mikomicon (Northridge, CA)
Kumoricon (Portland, OR)
Zenkaikon (King of Prussia, PA)
X-GamerCon Experience (Jacksonville, FL)

...with a few others scheduled or up in the air across the country and multitudes of tour dates inbetween each one. Hope to see you on the road soon!

Hey, Simon! Just for clarification, I noticed in your convention list that you have "Yaoi-Con" listed with "Phoenix, AZ" when Yaoi-Con actually takes place in San Francisco, CA.

You mentioned you'll be playing at Yaoi Jamboree in Glendale, AZ if that's the show you meant to write in your list, but that's not affiliated with Yaoi-Con. Yaoi Jamboree is its own separate show.

Oops; I meant Yaoi Jamboree! Thanks for the correction!

Not a problem. Would you mind editing the previous post with the correction? Someone else might skim and get confused about which conventions will be hosting your performance. There are a lot of first time con-goers who might not have realized Yaoi-Con and Yaoi Jamboree are two completely different organizations, and it helps not to add to any misconception.
