A big shout out to our sponsors Qantm College, Empire Toys, Madman Entertainment, Siren Visual and Tokyo Underground, as well as all of our crazy awesome volunteers.  The entire troop of 166 of you is what kept this well-oiled machine going.

To all of our artists, traders, panellists, exhibitors, black-ops, ushers, gamers, martial artists, techies, documentarians, coordinators, merchandisers, food vendors, and transporters: a great, hearty thank-you to you all.  This is a group volunteer effort, and none of this would have happened without the energy and support from you all.  Many, many thanks.

But for you, dear gentle attendee, the fun isn’t over yet!  Check out either our Forums or Facebook for discussion and sharing of photos and anecdotes, and be prepared for some awesome news in the next few months. If you want to join in the fun, the PAniC Annual General Meeting will be held on the 10th March at 1pm at the Citiplace Community Centre on the top of Perth City Train Station.  Details will be sent shortly.

Again, thank you, and see you all at Wai-Con 2013!

So much to do, and nowhere NEAR enough time to do it in!  It’s the Wai-Con 2012 schedule!

Click here to see the PNG version, or simply download the PDF.  Don’t forget though, that the schedule will be available in the 2012 Programme Book available in your Wai-Con showbag, as well as on LiveCon – a mobile phone app available for both iPhone and Android devices.

On Saturday at 2:30pm another group of singers can strut their stuff on the convention stage for a chance to grab the last final spots.

For the 2 people who make it to the finals on Sunday, and the two winners from the November preliminary comp, you will be able to choose any song that you wish. This can be another song from the list above or any song that you wish to sing. If you choose to select a song not on the list it will be up to you to arrange the backing music to be provided to us on a USB as well as a copy of the lyrics for the song. These lyrics will not be displayed so you will have to remember the song.

For all rules and forms, check out the Karaoke Competition page!
