Let’s kick off the fall proper with a FREE three day mini-convention as we form a geek/otaku/misfit Cosplay Parade and join the Walk for Women’s charity march to fight some motha-f’n breast cancer, yo. :3 And no mini-kon is ever truly complete without heart-wrenching animation, jaw-dropping movies, hard-hitting music from some of the BEST damn musical talent of South Texas, mesmerising art and poetry entries, high-stakes uber-addictive videogaming, tons of crazy/cool adrenaline-pumping activities, thought-provoking panels, a full-scale maid cafe/tea lounge, and a legit pool party rave for that oh-so extra kick… all of this, of course, brought to you by my company, ROCKSTAR REPUBLIC PRODUCTIONS (http://rockstarrepublicproductions.web
