Hope the first few days of the year are treating you all well. Our mascots Summer, Super G, Squishy and Segall rang in 2019 with fruity drinks and sparklers on the beach!
As for our web crew, they might have spent New Year’s Eve getting the site ready for another PopCult Anime Con! We’ve enabled SMS feeds in the sidebar, reorganized our events archive and updated a bunch of pages including our About, Ticket Info and Privacy Policy. Event signups for 2019 aren’t ready to launch just yet but we’ve added a category search through both the menu and at the bottom of the site that will bring up posts about previous events. There’s a new contact form available for anyone who has a need or special question for us. Our new Shop feature is preview-able but not fully functional yet; we’ll let you know as soon as it is!!! Even so, there’s a ton of great new content and features floating about. Go take a dip and look around!
Pardon Our Appearance!
Brr! Some fun in the sun sure sounds nice right now, huh? But the holiday season brings its own sense of warmth with it, and the staff of PopCult Anime Con wishes all of you very Merry Holidays and a Happy New Year!
We’re getting ready for 2019 already with a new webmaster and fresh website layout. Please pardon our appearance as we test out new features, including an event calendar and our very own shop – neither of which will be fully functioning til our Grand Reopening and Early Bird Pre-Registration launch on January 1st!
Here’s to 2019! See you next year!
