VOTE! Button Design Contest Runoff
The Button Design Contest was so popular, we had to do a runoff! This time, we're going to do the runoff old skool style for fairness and accuracy. Button B is now renamed Red and Button D is now renamed Blue.
There are two ways to cast your vote on this runoff election: by postcard or in person.
- By postcard. Letters or email will be rejected.
Please send a postcard with your vote (write "Red" or "Blue" on the postcard) to:
Pacific Media Expo / Button Design Contest
909 Marina Village Pkwy, PMB 660
Alameda, CA 94501
with your Full name, a verifiable address, and a verifiable email address. If we email the included email address and it bounces, it will be disqualified. Same for the address: if we plug it into google maps and it doesn't show up, it will be disqualified.
Postcards MUST BE postmarked by June 30, 2009. Any postcard with a postmark later than June 30 will be disqualified.
- In person. PMX will have a table at the Valley Gakuen Cosplay Contest/Obon Festival in Sun Valley, CA. The vote will come in the form of a survey. One survey per person only. Email addresses are required for the survey. If the email bounces, it will be rejected. Please see flyer above for more info on the Cosplay Contest/Obon Festival. Note that we will be at the Obon Festival on June 27 and 28 so you have two days to vote!

Recap: Otaku Bowl May 2009
On May 30, 2009 around two dozen otaku went to Classic Bowling Center in Daly City, CA for bowling, food, and good conversation about anime and conventions in general. Despite the cold and foggy day, people inside were feasting on lumpia, mocha cake, garlic fries, and other snacks. There was even a drawing for prizes throughout the day. All this was courtesy of Otaku Bowl, the Bay Area's only anime-themed bowling meetup.
For more information on the next Otaku Bowl, go to http://otakubowl.webs.com. Pictures below are courtesy of Ray Nagar/Project 760. Click to enlarge.
