AUSAM-Con Presents the 2010 convention theme:

AUSteAM-Con!

That’s right, riding the wave of steam-powered greatness, AUSAM-Con is proud to present
our Steampunk-themed anime festival.

Tentative dates:
Feb. 12, 2010 SteamPunk Ball*
Feb. 13, 2010 General anime festival 10am - 10pm
*Friday, 02/12/10 will include only evening events, including a semi-formal, Steampunk ball and a feature film. Unlike Saturday, 02/13/10, there will be a small fee included to attend the ball and/or the film. Look for more information to be posted throughout the year. Saturday will still be completely free!

More information to come, check back often for more updates. Look for news on smaller, AUSAM-Con related events throughout the year!

Don't know what steampunk is?
Wikipedia states that "Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date."
