Hello everyone! I'm Zippy one of the exec. directors for Anime Blast Chattanooga a new convention in Chattanooga, TN.
Here's some info thus far about the con:
Location: Chattanooga Convention Center, Chattanooga, TN
Date: Nov. 4-6, 2011
Guests: Todd Haberkorn (more on the way!)
If you have any questions let me know! I'm looking forward to trying out this new site with you all. :D
Oh, wow! This is an awesome surprise! I love Chattanooga and its conventions, but I've only just now heard of this one. I'm sad that I missed your first meeting, because I would have loved to come. And I'm really excited to see that Todd's going to be there! I will be, too, now that I've been enlightened. xD;;
Glad to see you're excited Ling! We hope to put on the best con we can with Anime Blast. :D
Oh and while I'm probably biased I certainly agree that Chattanooga is a pretty amazing city in many ways. So even though I live here already I'm glad to be able to help host an anime con here. ^_^
Anyways I'll try to post back here with info about meetings and such so we can keep you in the loop.

@Zippy - I'd like to help out myself, either by volunteering or hosting a panel (my friend has always wanted to be part of an Hetalia 'Ask A Nation' panel, so if that's a possibility that hasn't already been claimed...).
Ahaha, I need to join your forums so I can keep myself in the loop.
Certainly Ling if you'd like to help out with volunteering or a panel just feel free to check out the site and use one of our forms to submit your info. ^_^ I know Hetalia is crazy popular, but, to my surprise, I don't think we have a panel submitted yet for the show.
Oh and yeah while I'm trying to make sure all the info can be easily found many places online via the website, twitter, facebook, etc., our forums is, and will remain, the hub for most of the con discussions.

Haha, wow, that is a surprise. I'll talk it over with my friends (hopefully before it is snatched up by someone else).
Right, right. That's why I joined a couple of days ago. :D
I actually live near there! Sounds like it will be fun, wish you the best of luck!

You don't have to have signed-up as a volunteer to attend, but if you
