SMASH was really good. I really enjoyed attending. But, I think they'll need to work a bit more on organisation next year.

Yea, there were a few stuff-ups here and there like the Wacom Artist delays/etc, but overall for their first ever convention I felt it went pretty smoothly....though we are still hating Australia Post for losing the Travelling Logbook. >_<

SMASH! is here for 2008 folks! Don't miss it!

I'll probably come (possibly in a cosplay) as one of the Judges from the Cosplay Competition from last year will drag me down the road to UNSW.

But I look forward to it, all of my friends that went last year really enjoyed it.
