Huntsville's biggest and brightest anime convention, HAMACON, is back for its second year at Huntsville's downtown Holiday Inn. The anime (Japanese cartoons) industry is at its peak here in the US.

It will take place June 3-5 at Holiday Inn Downtown.

There will be guests from the anime voice industry and performing artists, places to buy lots of goods and works of art, and there's even a "secret" wedding! They will also have a charity to benefit the American Red Cross, so proceeds will go to both the local relief fund and the relief for Japan.
