Just letting everyone know that AnimeMetro.com and MetroConventions.com websites are back online finally. We had not only issues with the server maintenance, but then we had problems with the IP address getting messed up and then stuck. It took a few phone calls to get that squared away! (FYI, if you still do not see the sites online, do not worry. They should show for everyone within the next...
Okay, just reminding everyone - once again - that the server is down for some maintenance. This means that the MetroConventions.com and AnimeMetro.com websites are currently temporarily offline. Unfortunately the maintenance will take longer than the originally planned schedule (the squirrels have conspired against us again!). Due to the unforeseen delay of replacement parts and whatnot, we are ...

I'm astonished to learn that MetroCon -- in Tampa next weekend -- is hosting a concert by Abney Park ! The concert is at 9:30 pm on Saturday. According to the con website, you can only get in if you have a convention membership. A one-day membership (for Saturday) is $30.
