Post Hurricane Update: WasabiCon 2016 is A GO!

, , , ,

wasabizilla-pokemongoFirst and foremost: THANK YOU!  The outpouring of concern during Hurricane Matthew for our convention and our event team was overwhelming.  We truly to have the greatest fans in North Florida.
Power was restored to the office (fully) yesterday, and we’ve begun the hectic process of playing catch up for the lost week of production time during the month of our convention.  Please be patient with us/the team over the next few days as we work to get everything caught up.
THAT SAID – we can confirm that the Lexington (our host property) weathered the storm and Hurricane Matthew’s presence will have zero impact on WasabiCon 2016.  The show is scheduled to go – and we look forward to seeing you all the weekend after next.
DUE TO THE HURRICANE, however, we will be extending ticket pre-sales from October 15th (Saturday) to Monday the 17th.  This is to give folks time to get their advance tickets in order to score a free swag bag.  (See this post for details.)
You can buy your tickets online here: www.WasabiCon.com/Tickets

Hey Jacksonville: BE SAFE! #HurricaneMatthew

hurricane-matthewUnless you’re living under a rock (or stuck in the Upside-Down) you’ve likely heard all the news of Hurricane Matthew tracking to hit Florida and – closer to home – Jacksonville, Florida.  As a result, updates regarding the convention will be a little slow over the next couple of days as we have encouraged our team to take all necessary precautions for safety.
In short: if you’re waiting on an email, we’re not ignoring you, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
For now, Jacksonville: BE SAFE!  Please take all precautions to make sure that you, your family, and loved ones are safe over the next couple of days.
